DeCharge has introduced its decentralized electric vehicle charging network in the U.S. to address the growing disparity between EV adoption and the lack of sufficient public charging infrastructure. The company’s model allows individuals and businesses to monetize underutilized spaces — such as parking lots and fleet depots — by installing smart chargers, thereby expanding charging access while generating revenue for hosts.

The decentralized electric vehicle charging program is initially targeting high-demand regions like the DMV area, New York, and California. DeCharge plans to expand to 10 states within a year and onboard over 1,000 hosts. The startup recently secured $2.5 million in seed funding to support its AI-driven and community-owned network, which emphasizes transparent pricing, real-time payments, and blockchain-secured transactions.
