Green Water & Power powers up its 10,000th EV charger in just 3 years

A company called Green Water & Power, working with charging hardware maker Autel Energy, has installed its 10,000th electric vehicle charging port since starting the rollout in 2023. That works out to roughly 10 new chargers a day, every day, for three years. Most of these are Level 2 chargers, the kind found in parking lots, apartment buildings, hotels, and similar locations, rather than home chargers, plus some faster DC fast chargers.

For a homeowner, this news is less about anything you'd install at your own house and more a sign of how fast public and workplace-style charging is expanding. Green Water & Power says its network has delivered 16.6 million kWh so far with 99.72% uptime, meaning the chargers are working and available when drivers show up, and has offset more than 22,000 metric tons of carbon emissions. The company has contracts for another 3,000-plus Level 2 chargers and over 100 fast chargers in the near future, with more projects planned.

If you're weighing whether to buy an EV or rely on charging away from home, growth like this matters: it means more places to plug in at hotels, schools, apartments, and hospitals, which can make an EV more practical even if you don't have a charger in your own garage. There's nothing here that changes rebates or requires action at home, but it's a sign the public charging network is filling in faster than it has in past years.
