BTC Power Supports Summit Charging’s US Expansion
Summit holds NEVI grants for 40 DC fast chargers across DC, Texas, and California while developing self-funded sites in CA.
EV charging system manufacturer BTC Power has announced a key technology partnership with Summit Charging, a full-service EV charging station developer founded in 2026. The collaboration focuses on technical specifications, Build America, Buy America (BABA) documentation, and site economics for Summit’s expanding network.
What Happened
Summit Charging currently holds NEVI grant awards for eight sites in Washington DC, Texas, and California, which represent 40 DC fast chargers and 56 charging ports. The company is simultaneously developing four self-funded sites in California and planning five additional sites in New York and Pennsylvania. Each planned location is expected to feature at least eight DC fast charging ports supporting both CCS and NACS connectors, along with customer amenities such as restrooms.
BTC Power’s involvement includes providing its All-In-One DC fast charging platform, available in 180 kW, 240 kW, and 320 kW configurations. This range allows Summit to match charger output to the specific power requirements, traffic patterns, and economics of each individual site. Additionally, the companies are incorporating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into site designs to manage peak power demand and reduce exposure to demand charges.
Why It Matters
The partnership highlights a strategic approach to EV infrastructure development that moves beyond traditional gas station or travel center criteria. Summit evaluates potential locations based on parking, traffic, accessibility, electrical capacity, nearby competition, customer demographics, and utility infrastructure. BTC Power’s support has reportedly helped Summit build stronger business cases for its NEVI applications by addressing the technical and economic challenges of building a reliable charging network.
Bruce Lee, founder and President of Summit Charging, stated that BTC Power provides the flexibility to develop each site based on its specific needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Seung June Oh, Chief Revenue Officer at BTC Power, emphasized the importance of combining the right locations with appropriate charging technology and business models to create viable public EV charging destinations.
The Bottom Line
BTC Power’s technology partnership with Summit Charging supports the deployment of 40 NEVI-funded DC fast chargers and additional self-funded sites across multiple US states, leveraging flexible power configurations and energy storage to optimize site economics.
