For Utilities and Public Sector

A private partner built
for public-grade execution.

Gridlane engages utilities, state DOTs, and public agencies as infrastructure partners from project inception. We understand the technical, compliance, and reporting requirements of public-private charging programs.

Utility Coordination

Utility-first.
Not utility-last.

The most common cause of EV charging project delay is late utility engagement. Gridlane initiates utility coordination at project inception — before permitting, before construction, before capital commitment.

Every Gridlane project begins with a formal utility load study submission. Interconnection is a development prerequisite, not a construction afterthought.
Load Study and Capacity Analysis
We submit formal load study requests at project inception. This establishes required capacity, identifies upgrade needs, and produces a realistic interconnection timeline before capital is committed.
Service Entrance Design
Gridlane works directly with utility engineering to specify service entrance configuration, transformer sizing, and metering requirements before permitting submission.
Demand Management Planning
For constrained locations, we develop load-shifting and dynamic power allocation strategies that make projects viable without requiring full grid upgrades.
Make-Ready Partnership
Gridlane is structured to participate in utility make-ready programs where the utility funds infrastructure upgrades and Gridlane funds charger installation and operations.
Public Sector Programs

We understand
how public programs work.

Gridlane is structured to participate in NEVI Formula Program corridor development, state DOT partnerships, and MPO-coordinated corridor electrification initiatives. We understand procurement timelines and public reporting obligations.

NEVI Formula Program
Gridlane installations meet NEVI technical requirements including port minimums, connector standards, uptime obligations, payment compliance, and FHWA data reporting requirements.
State DOT Partnerships
Gridlane can serve as a private development partner in state DOT corridor electrification programs, providing site development, construction, and long-term operations under program-compliant terms.
MPO Corridor Planning
We participate in regional corridor electrification planning processes and can provide development feasibility input for specific corridor segments under consideration.
Grant-Assisted Development
Gridlane can structure projects to accommodate state and federal grant programs including NEVI Formula, Charging and Fueling Infrastructure grants, and applicable state-level incentive programs.
Compliance Standards

Built to meet
public-sector requirements.

Technical Standards
NEVI-aligned equipment specifications
Minimum 150 kW per port, CCS and NACS connector capability, OCPP network protocol compliance, and payment system requirements consistent with federal standards.
Uptime Obligations
97% minimum network availability
Uptime documentation maintained per location per reporting period. Our operations infrastructure meets and exceeds the 97% minimum required for federally funded corridor locations.
Data Reporting
Session-level public reporting capable
Network infrastructure supports FHWA data reporting including session data, availability status, and pricing transparency. State NEVI submission pipelines configurable on request.
Payment Compliance
Credit card and contactless payment
All equipment specified with payment terminals accepting credit and debit cards without requiring network membership or app. Payment compliance is a baseline specification.
