Summit Charging is a “full-service EV charging station developer and operator” that was founded in 2026. The company currently holds NEVI grant awards for eight sites in Washington DC, Texas and California, representing 40 DC fast chargers and 56 charging ports, and is simultaneously developing four self-funded sites in California, and planning five additional sites in New York and Pennsylvania.
EV charging system manufacturer BTC Power has announced its role as a key technology partner with Summit Charging. The two companies have worked together on the technical specifications, Build America, Buy America (BABA) documentation, and site economics behind Summit’s expanding charging network.
Each Summit Charging location is planned to feature at least eight DC fast charging ports supporting both CCS and NACS connectors, along with restrooms and other customer amenities.
BTC Power says its support has helped Summit build stronger business cases for its NEVI applications. BTC Power’s All-In-One DC fast charging platform (available in 180 kW, 240 kW and 320 kW configurations) allows Summit to match charger output to the specific power requirements, traffic patterns and economics of each location. The companies are incorporating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into site designs to help manage peak power demand and reduce demand-charge exposure.
“Summit Charging is demonstrating what is possible when you combine the right locations with the right charging technology and business model,” said Seung June Oh, Chief Revenue Officer at BTC Power. “They are identifying locations where people already park, shop, work and travel, and developing those locations into public EV charging destinations. We have been developing and deploying public EV charging technology in the US since 2012, and we understand the equipment, site requirements and operating challenges that come with building a reliable charging network.”
Rather than evaluating sites solely by traditional gas station or travel center criteria, Summit assesses each potential location individually, weighing parking, traffic, accessibility, electrical capacity, nearby competition, customer demographics and utility infrastructure before selecting equipment and configuration.
“BTC Power is more than a charger supplier to us. They understand what it takes to turn a location into a viable charging station—from equipment selection and technical requirements to the economics of the project,” said Bruce Lee, founder and President, Summit Charging. “Our experience shows that EV charging can be built in many different types of locations. If a business has the right parking, traffic, and customer demand, there may be an opportunity to add EV charging and create a new revenue stream. Having a technology partner with the experience and product range of BTC Power gives us the flexibility to develop each site based on what that location actually needs.”
