Gridlane was founded to develop, install, and operate public DC fast charging infrastructure with the execution discipline that the transition to electric mobility actually requires.
The United States needs tens of thousands of public DC fast charging locations across its freeway network and commercial corridors to support the scale of EV adoption that is already underway. Most of those locations do not yet exist. Gridlane exists to build them — methodically, durably, and at scale.
We are not a technology company that sells charging as a service. We are an infrastructure developer. We identify sites, negotiate agreements, coordinate utilities, manage construction, and operate what we build. The distinction matters because infrastructure that is not operated well is infrastructure that fails — and the public experience of EV charging cannot afford more failure.
Gridlane does not try to be everything in the EV ecosystem. We focus on the three disciplines where execution quality determines whether public charging infrastructure actually serves its purpose.
The EV charging industry has no shortage of capital, announcements, or ambition. It has a shortage of operators who can actually execute complex infrastructure development and sustain reliable network operations over time. That is the gap Gridlane is built to fill.
Gridlane's initial development program is focused on freeway corridors across Michigan and the broader Midwest region. Our pipeline is organized by corridor to ensure contiguous coverage rather than isolated deployments that create unreliable driver experiences.
We are actively developing sites along I-94, US-23, and M-59 in Michigan, with additional corridor qualification underway across the I-69, I-75, and I-96 networks.
Gridlane is actively developing across Michigan and the Midwest. We want to hear from site hosts, utilities, public agencies, and infrastructure investors.
