eVerged Launches Zero Cost Swap Electric Vehicle Charger Program

Aggressive offering replaces broken or unsupported EV chargers with modern infrastructure at no upfront cost to the site host

VIENNA, Va., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Everged, a North American energy technology company, today announced the launch of its Zero Cost Swap Program, a turnkey solution designed to help property owners and site hosts quickly replace broken, outdated, out of warranty, or unsupported electric vehicle (EV) charging stations with modern, networked equipment at zero upfront cost.

Unreliable charging experiences is a common theme among the EV community and often cited by skeptics as a major hurdle to expanded adoption.  Historical reasons for under-performing chargers have spanned hardware, software, and operational issues but are more recently exacerbated by first generation chargers hitting their end-of-life and several major industry players exiting the market.  With many disparate stakeholders participating in an often volatile industry, accountability for charger performance can be murky at best, leaving chargers, site hosts, and drivers stranded.  However, the number of EV drivers on the road and the demand for dependable charging infrastructure continues to grow, making a solution both urgent and lucrative. 

A Solution with No Operational or Financial Burden

With the high demand for EV charging, it can be an incredibly powerful business lever to attract, convert, and keep loyal patrons.  Conversely, when that experience is negative, it can drive away an expanding customer base as they seek solutions elsewhere.  With the Zero Cost Swap Program, Everged removes the financial and operational burden traditionally associated with upgrading EV charging infrastructure. The company fully funds the removal, replacement, installation, activation, and ongoing maintenance of new equipment—allowing site hosts to restore service quickly and efficiently.

Through the program, site hosts gain access to a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that includes:

• Zero CapEx deployment with all hardware and installation costs covered
  
  
• Replacement of legacy or non-functional chargers with modern Level 2 or DC fast charging equipment
  
  
• 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, and driver support
  
  
• Real-time alerts and remote diagnostics to ensure consistent uptime
  
  
• Optional revenue-sharing opportunities to generate passive income

Designed for Speed, Simplicity, and Scale

The Zero Cost Swap Program process is designed to be fast and frictionless. After a simple site qualification, Everged removes existing equipment and installs new, fully-supported chargers—often without requiring new permitting due to existing electrical infrastructure.

Once installed, site hosts benefit from continuous monitoring, proactive maintenance, and high network uptime, helping to ensure a reliable experience for EV drivers.

Who Benefits

The program is ideal for:

• Retail and commercial property owners seeking to increase foot traffic
  
  
• Municipalities aiming to meet electrification and uptime requirements
  
  
• Fleet operators requiring dependable charging infrastructure
  
  
• Campuses, hotels, and public venues looking to enhance customer experience

"We have always seen reliable EV charging as a critical component of the energy ecosystem," stated Jefferson Smith, chief executive officer at Everged. "We created the  Zero Cost Swap Program because it is simply unacceptable that site hosts who were innovative enough to be early adopters of EV charging infrastructure are now abandoned to navigate solutions to restore functionality.  We owe them and our EV drivers a better experience." 

"Our product portfolio is rooted in providing best-in-class services," added James Dion, president at Everged.  "We are so confident in our technology stack, that we created a program that not only solves a critical problem within our industry but also aligns our success with that of our valued site hosts.  By providing that best-in-class service, we all win: our site hosts, EV drivers, and Everged."
