EV Edison launches flagship N.J. charging hub

EV Edison, a developer of electric vehicle infrastructure, launched its flagship charging and fleet services hub in Kearny, N.J. Located near the Port of Newark, the Holland Tunnel and key interstate corridors, the site offers EV fleet operators 30 high-power charging ports, each capable of delivering 180kW, which EV Edison said makes it the largest multi-class charging hub on the East Coast. Significant expansion planned for future phases, both in Kearny and around the N.Y. metropolitan area.

“This facility is about more than charging — it’s about enabling next-generation logistics,” said Shihab Kuran, executive chairman of EV Edison. “We’re addressing the full operational needs of electrified fleets with scalable, high-power infrastructure that’s built to last.”

Yazan Harasis, vice president of projects for EV Edison, added, “We built this facility with scale and flexibility in mind. Phase I is ready to meet the needs of high-throughput freight fleets supporting upwards of 200 heavy-duty charging sessions per day.”

EV Edison’s site is already powering operations for Einride, a freight technology company deploying electric and autonomous vehicles globally. Einride is staging its vehicles at the site and offering its trucks to regional partners for EV transport.

“This facility gives us a strategic base to grow our electric fleet in the Northeast,” said Chelsea Thompson, director of operations at Einride. “EV Edison’s infrastructure, location and operational services make it a natural partner as we expand access to clean freight solutions.”

Christine Guhl-Sadovy, president of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), said the EV Edison site complements NJBPU’s efforts to add EV fleet charging to New Jersey.

“By making high-powered charging available to all types of fleets, projects like this are helping ensure that New Jersey remains a national leader in clean transportation,” she said.
