KEARNY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#CleanTransportation–EV Edison, a leading developer of electric vehicle infrastructure announces the launch of its flagship charging and fleet services hub. Strategically located in Kearny, NJ near the Port of Newark, the Holland Tunnel, and key interstate corridors, the site offers EV fleet operators a comprehensive ecosystem. Phase 1 includes 30 high-power charging ports, each capable of delivering 180kW, making it the largest multi-class charging hub on the East Coast. Significant expansion planned for future phases.
The hub offers full-service fleet operations:
- 24/7 high-security access
- Ample truck parking and staging
- Food and beverage services
- Driver lounge and flexible office space
- Public passenger vehicle charging
“This facility is about more than charging—it’s about enabling next-generation logistics,” said Dr. Shihab Kuran, Executive Chairman of EV Edison. “We’re addressing the full operational needs of electrified fleets with scalable, high-power infrastructure that’s built to last.”
EV Edison’s site is already powering operations for Einride, the pioneering freight technology company deploying electric and autonomous vehicles globally. Einride is staging its vehicles at the site and offering its trucks to regional partners for EV Transport.
“This facility gives us a strategic base to grow our electric fleet in the Northeast,” said Chelsea Thompson, Director of Operations at Einride. “EV Edison’s infrastructure, location, and operational services make it a natural partner as we expand access to clean freight solutions.”
“Kearny offers the ideal mix of space and power to scale EV charging and support fleet growth,” said David Daly, President of EV Edison. “It’s the perfect platform to drive zero-emission logistics in the region.”
The hub is built on land owned by Hugo Neu Realty, a longstanding New Jersey industrial developer with a deep commitment to sustainability and economic innovation.
“This is a transformative project for the region,” said Dominique Lueckenhoff, Hugo Neu Executive VP for Corporate Affairs, EHS and Sustainability. “EV Edison’s presence brings greater clean energy jobs, revitalized industrial use, and leadership in transportation electrification to our community.”
“Kearny is proud to host one of the most forward-looking EV charging facilities in the country,” said Kearny Mayor Carol Jean Doyle. “This project brings economic development and environmental benefits to our town and region.”
“This is exactly the kind of private-sector leadership that amplifies the Board’s efforts to build out a reliable charging network in New Jersey,” said Christine Guhl-Sadovy, President, New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU). “By making high-powered charging available to all types of fleets, projects like this are helping ensure that New Jersey remains a national leader in clean transportation.”
“Moving toward clean, electric cars and trucks on New Jersey’s roads is more important than ever,” Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette said. “My DEP colleagues and I congratulate EV Edison on the opening of this major, around-the-clock charging hub in Kearny and their commitment to cleaning up the air and protecting the health of local residents. This project is a win for Kearny and New Jersey.”
“New Jersey continues to lead in logistics and clean energy innovation,” said Wesley Mathews, President & CEO of Choose New Jersey. “EV Edison’s investment in this state-of-the-art charging site advances our climate goals, bolsters our economy, and reinforces New Jersey’s role as a critical transportation hub.”
“Transportation electrification is key to decarbonizing New Jersey,” said Dawn Neville, Manager of Electric Transportation at PSE&G. “We’re pleased to support EV Edison’s grid interconnection and infrastructure development as part of our shared vision for a cleaner future.”
“We built this facility with scale and flexibility in mind,” said Yazan Harasis, Vice President, Projects, EV Edison. “Phase I is ready to meet the needs of high-throughput freight fleets supporting upwards of 200 heavy-duty charging sessions per day.”
“Working alongside the EV Edison team on this transformational project was a powerful opportunity to apply our engineering expertise to the future of clean transportation,” said Wilbur C. Milhouse III, Chairman and CEO of Milhouse, an African American-owned engineering firm. “EV Edison’s bold vision and commitment to clean energy made this a standout collaboration. As a firm dedicated to building resilient, community-centered infrastructure, we were proud to help bring a project of this scale and innovation to life.”
“To ensure electric vehicles reach every fleet and community, we need unified voices and strategic investments like this,” said Pam Frank, CEO of ChargEVC. “EV Edison’s Kearny hub reflects the kind of cross-sector collaboration and bold infrastructure thinking that will move New Jersey toward an inclusive, electrified future. ChargEVC is proud to support partners leading that charge.”
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, Kearny’s location and capacity make it an ideal hub for electric transport supporting logistics, media, and fan mobility.
EV Edison encourages fleet operators, vehicle lessors, and logistics providers to contact the company to reserve access and learn more. Additional capacity and services are planned for future phases in Kearny and around the NY Metropolitan area.
Fleet operators or real estate owners interested in having their own high power EV charging stations are encouraged to contact the company.
