LAZ Parking and EverCharge announced a joint venture to offer electric vehicle charging for apartment and condominium residents. EverCharge's SmartPower technology lets multiple chargers share a building's available electrical capacity, allowing up to five times more charging ports on the same power supply.
Why it matters
Many residents of multifamily buildings lack practical access to home charging, and the joint venture aims to extend charging to them without requiring major electrical upgrades. The partnership also expands the reach of EV charging infrastructure across North America.
LAZ operates approximately 2.1 million parking spaces at 5,700 locations in 639 cities across the US and Canada. EverCharge's SmartPower technology enables up to five times more charging ports on the same power supply, and the joint venture targets 25,000 ports in North America.
The players
LAZ Parking
LAZ Parking is a large North American parking operator that manages parking facilities and real estate across hundreds of cities.
EverCharge
EverCharge is an EV charging company and subsidiary of indiGOtech (GO) that operates charging ports at multifamily residential sites.
indiGOtech (GO)
indiGOtech (GO) is the parent company of EverCharge, the electric vehicle charging provider behind the SmartPower technology.
The details
The venture combines LAZ's parking and real estate operations with EverCharge's SmartPower management technology, which allows multiple chargers to share a building's available electrical capacity. The multifamily service provides charging for residents without requiring property owners to manage installation and operation.
Timeline
The joint venture was announced on November 6, 2026.
Roadmap
The venture reflects the broader shift toward electric vehicles and the difficulty of supplying charging to residents who cannot install chargers at home. Load-sharing technology that avoids costly grid upgrades is becoming a key tool for expanding charging access across North American cities.
Residents of apartments and condominiums may gain a way to charge their vehicles without installing equipment themselves or waiting for major electrical upgrades. The service would be managed by the property and charging operator rather than by individual owners.
The takeaway
Shared-capacity charging could let more apartment dwellers adopt electric vehicles without waiting for building-wide electrical upgrades. Renters and condo owners should ask property managers whether such services are available.
