Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Julia Fedorova, CMO at L-Charge:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to your company?
A: L-Charge helps fleet operators deploy EV charging and power infrastructure when the grid can’t keep up. We provide off-grid Charging-as-a-Service and Power-as-a-Service solutions that allow fleets to electrify on a predictable timeline, typically in a matter of weeks instead of waiting 2+ years for grid upgrades. Over the last year alone, our systems generated more than 5 million kWh of energy, enabling the equivalent of 15,000 electric miles driven, supporting real-world fleet operations from rideshare, distribution and passenger transportation at scale.
Q: Can you tell us something more about your latest announcement?
A: Our recent $10 million funding round allows us to scale deployments nationally at a time when grid congestion, permitting delays, rising infrastructure costs, and growing competition for electricity from AI workloads and data centers are slowing fleet electrification projects. As demand for power accelerates across multiple industries, fleets increasingly need solutions that don’t depend on uncertain utility timelines. This investment enables L-Charge to meet that demand with faster deployments, expanded off-grid charging options, and a fully managed service model.
Q: What are your plans for next 12 months?
A: Over the next year, we’re focused on helping more fleets electrify faster and with less financial and operational risk. That includes expanding our installation footprint, launching additional off-grid charging and power products, and supporting projects that rely on public grants or incentives. Because our delivery timelines are fixed and not dependent on grid readiness, L-Charge increasingly acts as a de-risking instrument for grant-funded infrastructure projects, allowing fleets to move forward even when utilities can’t commit to timelines.
Q: What is the best thing about your organization that people might not know about?
A: What many people don’t realize is that when fleets evaluate the total cost of ownership – not just electricity prices – L-Charge is often cost-comparable, and in many cases lower-risk and lower-cost, than building permanent, grid-tied EV charging infrastructure.
Traditional EVSE requires upfront capital, site trenching, utility upgrades, long development timelines, dedicated internal teams, and ongoing exposure to variable energy pricing. Those costs add up quickly and are often underestimated at the planning stage. L-Charge offers a flat-rate, CAPEX-free model where customers pay only for the energy they consume(kWh), while we handle planning, permitting, commissioning, operations, and service.
There’s also a structural risk with grid-tied infrastructure: by the time new capacity finally comes online, often years later, fleet needs have already grown, putting operators back in a position of power constraint. L-Charge’s modular, flexible approach avoids that cycle. As demand increases, customers can simply add capacity by deploying additional units, rather than restarting a multi-year utility upgrade process tied to a fixed site.
