PositivEnergy said it is expanding its collaboration with the City of Philadelphia to deploy additional public electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Philadelphia.
The project is expected to add about 435 DC fast charging and Level 2 charging ports throughout the city, aimed at improving charging access for residents, commuters and visitors.
The deployment forms part of Philadelphia’s broader electrification strategy and ongoing efforts to expand public charging infrastructure across urban neighborhoods.
“Philadelphia’s goal is to make EV charging more accessible, reliable, and equitable for residents in neighborhoods across the city,” said Anna Kelly, Senior Policy Advisor for EV and Parking in Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems.
“We are grateful to our partners at PositivEnergy for sharing this vision, and for bringing their expertise to the implementation and deployment of our EV network,” Kelly added.
Ed Wise, chief executive of PositivEnergy, said the company’s focus is on long-term reliability and operational performance.
“We are proud to support Philadelphia’s electrification and sustainability goals with charging infrastructure designed around the real needs of the community,” Wise said.
“Drivers should not have to wonder whether a charger will work when they arrive. Our focus is simple: build infrastructure that is reliable, accessible, and built to last,” he added.
The company said its EV charging network currently delivers more than 90% charger uptime, exceeding industry averages for charger availability. PositivEnergy also uses its proprietary PositivAssess platform to identify charging locations designed to improve long-term utilization and network performance.
PositivEnergy offers charging infrastructure through a Charging-as-a-Service model, allowing municipalities, commercial property owners and enterprises to deploy EV charging systems without directly managing operations.
The company said the Philadelphia project is part of a wider national expansion that includes deployments at airports, universities, stadiums, utilities and municipal sites across the United States.
PositivEnergy said it has installed more than 500 charging ports nationwide, including projects involving Raleigh-Durham International Airport, Duke University, Arizona State University, Inter Miami CF and NextEra Energy.
