BTC Power backs Summit Charging's eight-site NEVI rollout across Washington DC, Texas and California
Summit Charging, a US developer founded in 2026, has secured NEVI grant awards for eight sites totalling 40 DC fast chargers and 56 ports in Washington DC, Texas and California, with four self-funded California sites under way and five more planned in New York and Pennsylvania. BTC Power is supplying its All-In-One DC fast charging platform in 180 kW, 240 kW and 320 kW variants, alongside Build America, Buy America documentation and battery energy storage systems to manage demand charges. Each Summit location will feature at least eight DC fast charging ports with CCS and NACS connectors plus customer amenities.
Why it matters
The partnership shows how equipment suppliers are bundling BABA compliance, BESS integration and flexible power outputs to strengthen NEVI bids, a model likely to shape procurement across federally funded US charging tenders. Summit's rapid site pipeline also signals growing competition for NEVI awards in key states.
