IUC’s innovative charging-as-a-service model, combined with
HVPT’s extensive parking footprint, will create a robust EV
charging infrastructure that meets the surging demand from New York
City’s rapidly growing EV population. The partnership leverages
HVPT’s recent acquisition of ICON Parking, the largest parking
operator in Manhattan, providing easy access to a network of
charging locations.
New York State has witnessed a staggering 660% surge in EV
ownership over the past five years, underscoring the rapid shift
towards electric mobility. To achieve carbon neutrality by 2030,
New York City aims to convert 400,000 traditional vehicles to
EVs.
“This partnership is a game-changer for New York City,” said
Nigel Broomhall, CEO of IUC, which he co-founded with Jake Bezzant.
“Even with the premium placed on space in New York City, building
out a robust EV charging infrastructure is critical to meet a
growing demand from increasing EV ownership in the city.”
Jerry Skillett, Chairman and CEO of HVPT, added, "Our
collaboration with IUC on deploying 5,000 EV chargers is a massive
step towards providing the service that New Yorkers want and sets
ICON Parking apart from all others. This deployment further
enhances the proven relationship we have with Jake and the team at
IUC, the global leaders in the EV space."
The deployment of 5,000 EV chargers aligns with New York City’s
ambitious goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 and supports
the state’s rapid growth in EV adoption. IUC’s proven track record
in delivering high-density charging solutions, coupled with HVPT’s
extensive parking assets, positions this partnership as a catalyst
for EV adoption in the city.
IUC’s partnership with global real estate leaders JLL and CBRE
further strengthens its position as a leading provider of EV
charging infrastructure. With a shared vision of a sustainable
future, these strategic alliances enable IUC to accelerate its
nationwide expansion and achieve its goal of deploying one million
EV chargers within the next five years.
