Wallbox & Charli Charging Partner to Scale Enterprise EV Charging Across the U.S.

EV charging in the U.S. has moved past the pilot phase.

As companies electrify fleets, offices, and campuses at scale, the challenge is no longer whether to install charging, but how to deploy infrastructure that truly works in the real world. That’s why Wallbox is partnering with Charli Charging, a Portland-based charge point operator focused on delivering dependable, enterprise-ready EV charging across North America.

Together, Wallbox and Charli are already delivering high-impact projects at some of the country’s most recognizable workplaces, while laying the groundwork for a new wave of Level 2 and DC fast charging deployments in 2026 (and beyond!).

Meet Charli Charging

Charli Charging is a CPO built for complexity.

Founded in Portland, Charli specializes in Level 2 workplace and commercial charging, with a growing focus on DC fast charging as enterprise demand accelerates. Their team works end-to-end; from financing and site coordination to installation, operations, and long-term maintenance.

It’s a model designed for multi-site portfolios, rather than one-off installs. And it’s resonating with property owners and employers who need charging infrastructure that scales without adding friction. Many of Charli’s enterprise customers who began with a flagship site, have quickly moved to expand to portfolio-wide rollouts as utilization grows. 

From Flagship Workplaces to Portfolio-Wide Rollouts

In the past year, Charli has delivered some of its most ambitious projects to date – including deployments at globally recognized companies.

Recent Wallbox-powered installations include:

• Warner Music Group (Los Angeles)
  → 62 Pulsar Plus chargers installed across three project phases
  
• Amazon Offices (Seattle)
  160 Pulsar Plus chargers are being deployed across five sites
  → Two locations went live in January 2026
  → Remaining sites scheduled by end of Q1 2026

Designed for daily use by hundreds of drivers, these large-scale workplace deployments reflect a broader shift in the U.S. market wherein EV charging is becoming standard infrastructure, not a perk.

Why the Zero-CapEx Model Is Gaining Ground

One of Charli’s biggest advantages is a business model that removes the most common barrier to adoption: upfront cost.

Here’s how their zero-CapEX approach works:

• Charli covers the upfront cost of charging equipment through funding partners
  
• Property owners avoid capital investment and long payback periods
  
• Charging infrastructure is deployed faster, without budget barriers

This model aligns perfectly with the needs of office landlords, corporate campuses, and parking operators who want to offer EV charging – but without navigating procurement, incentives, or long ROI timelines.

As more commercial properties look to future-proof their assets, zero-CapEx models are becoming a powerful catalyst for adoption.

Built on Wallbox Hardware

At enterprise scale, hardware choices matter.

Across Charli’s growing portfolio, Wallbox’s Pulsar Plus chargers have proven well-suited to workplace and commercial environments thanks to:

• Proven reliability and high uptime
  
• Flexible amperage settings that adapt to diverse electrical infrastructure
  
• OCPP-compliant architecture, allowing Charli to run its own software and user experience
  
• Consistent performance across multi-site installations

As Charli expands into DC fast charging, Wallbox’s Supernova adds the next layer – supporting high-traffic locations with modular servicing, energy efficiency, and long-term durability required for public and commercial use.

The result is a hardware foundation that scales without increasing operational complexity.

Enterprise EV Charging Is a Team Sport

Installing EV chargers at enterprise sites isn’t a simple swap-and-go exercise.

Projects often involve multiple stakeholders, tight construction windows tied to incentives, and long-term expectations around uptime, data access, and service quality. Charli’s operating model is designed to move from contract to construction efficiently, while Wallbox provides hardware engineered to perform long after commissioning – and the technology backbone that keeps systems running at scale.

“Wallbox’s open-standard hardware enables seamless integration with our EV charging tech stack, allowing us to provide reliability across large CRE assets and portfolios. Together, we are able to deliver superior performance, uptime, and deep customizations that enhance the customer experience.”

Alex Hassen, CEO at Charli Charging

This practical partnership reflects a broader industry truth: the EV transition will be won by networks, not individual companies. Hardware providers, CPOs, real estate managers, utilities, and installers all play a role, and success depends on how well they work together.

What This Partnership Signals for the U.S. EV Market

With expected charger purchases between $500,000 and $1.5 million in 2026, spanning both AC and DC solutions, Charli represents the kind of regional partner driving real market momentum.

For Wallbox, this collaboration reinforces our role in:

• Enterprise and workplace charging
  
• Large, multi-site deployments with household-name organizations
  
• Delivering interoperable, future-ready hardware at scale

More broadly, it reflects a market that is heading from experimentation to execution, especially in commercial and workplace environments. 

Looking Ahead

This announcement marks the starting point.

As Charli’s pipeline grows and Wallbox expands its commercial footprint across North America, upcoming stories will take a closer look at:

• Real-world deployment challenges and solutions
  
• How zero-CapEx models accelerate adoption
  
• What enterprise customers expect from EV infrastructure today

Because the future of EV charging won’t be built by individual products, but by partners who know how to deliver, together.
