NovaCHARGE

NovaCHARGE is an American electric vehicle (EV) charging technology company that designs, manufactures, and manages commercial EV charging infrastructure. Founded in 2008, the company positions itself as a technology firm focused on both EV charging hardware and the software platform that manages charging networks. Its offering spans Level 2 AC charging stations, DC fast charging, cable management and mounting accessories, and the ChargeUP® charging platform management system and driver app. NovaCHARGE markets its solutions to commercial businesses, EV fleet operators, municipalities, utilities, and EV service providers (EVSPs), and states that its systems already serve thousands of organizations and EV drivers nationwide. The company's core hardware line is the NC8000 Series of Level 2 commercial charging stations, designed for universal interoperability built on open standards such as OCPP. Alongside its own stations, NovaCHARGE supplies DC fast chargers from third-party manufacturers including ABB, BTC, and Efacec, allowing it to tailor solutions to different business models. Its software side is anchored by ChargeUP®, described as a next-generation charging platform management system and charging app offering reporting, diagnostics, and flexible rules-based administration for station owners and hosts. NovaCHARGE also promotes NovaBOT, an AI-driven EVSE diagnostic and monitoring tool, and in 2024 introduced a Virtual Circuit power management cloud technology and Fleet Director software aimed at quick-turn EV fleets. NovaCHARGE emphasizes open standards, interoperability, and longevity, and says it provides premium 24/7/365 North American-based support and one of the strongest warranties in the EVSE industry. It offers turnkey solutions for customers, employees, and tenants, and notes that some of its systems are deployed under customers' own branding on the nameplate. The company's stated history includes its 2008 founding, a 2009 first enterprise sale to McDonald's, becoming an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of EV charging solutions in 2014, and launching the NovaBOT AI diagnostic tool in 2020. NovaCHARGE is privately held and is headquartered in the United States.

NovaCHARGE was founded in 2008 as an electric vehicle charging technology company in the United States. According to the company's own history, it made its first smart charging station sale in 2008 and completed its first enterprise sale in 2009 to McDonald's. In 2014, NovaCHARGE became an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of EV charging solutions, marking a shift toward producing its own charging hardware rather than only reselling or integrating third-party equipment. Through the 2010s and into the 2020s, the company built out a portfolio combining commercial Level 2 charging stations, DC fast charging, and a software platform for managing charging networks. Its NC8000 Series Level 2 stations were designed for commercial applications and built on open standards such as OCPP to ensure interoperability. Alongside its own hardware, NovaCHARGE supplies DC fast chargers from manufacturers including ABB, BTC, and Efacec, positioning itself as a solution provider that can match equipment to a customer's business model. A significant software milestone came in 2020 with NovaBOT, described as the first AI EVSE diagnostic tool intended to avoid truck rolls — that is, to diagnose charging equipment remotely and reduce the need for on-site service visits. The company's ChargeUP® platform management system and charging app became the centerpiece of its network management offering, providing reporting, diagnostics, and rules-based administration for station owners and hosts. In 2024, NovaCHARGE announced two further innovations: an EV charging power management cloud technology called Virtual Circuit Software, and Fleet Director Software designed to accelerate quick-turn EV fleet operational readiness. Fleet Director was presented as optimizing EV fueling, improving labor efficiencies through staff tracking and reporting, and lowering total cost of ownership through efficient use of public charging. NovaCHARGE states that its systems serve thousands of organizations and EV drivers nationwide, and that some of the most well-known commercial organizations, municipalities, and utilities in the country use its EV charging systems — either branded as NovaCHARGE or with the customer's own branding on the nameplate. The company emphasizes open standards, interoperability, longevity, utility-grade reliability, premium 24/7/365 North American-based support, and one of the strongest warranties in the EVSE industry. It remains a privately held company.
