- LAZ Parking is launching LAZ Multifamily EV Charging Powered by EverCharge SmartPower across its U.S. footprint, bringing managed charging to apartment and condo residents.
- SmartPower adjusts charging output in real time based on vehicle demand and available site power, allowing property owners to install more chargers within existing electrical limits.
- LAZ Parking operates about 2.1 million spaces at 5,700 locations in the U.S. and Canada and says the venture expands its charging network to 25,000 ports across North America.
- EverCharge already operates more than 10,000 charging ports at over 1,000 apartment and condo properties, serving more than 50,000 registered drivers.
- EVO3 Level 2 chargers will be used in the rollout.
- LAZ Parking has not disclosed resident charging prices or named the first properties getting installations, while the joint announcement provides no target or timeline for new apartment and condo ports.
- EverCharge plans to explore charging and battery swapping with LAZ Parking for commercial fleets, ride-hailing and delivery services.
Why it matters: LAZ Parking and EverCharge say SmartPower can support up to five times as many charging ports within existing power limits, giving residents more places to charge with less need for expensive electrical work. The caveat: their 25,000-port figure describes the expanded network, not a committed apartment buildout, and resident pricing remains undisclosed.
