Xeal Surpasses 500 EV Charging Stations Across College Campuses as Company Strikes Deals with Major Real Estate Development Firms

• New partners include ACRE, CA Ventures, Cardinal Group, and Parallel
• The company’s Never Down approach to EV charging presents a reliable solution at a time when a majority of EV chargers are broken
• The company anticipates 800% YoY expansion across college campuses as student housing developers aim to deploy more EV charging stations that actually work

Xeal, the only no-internet-required EV charging solution that always works, today announced it has signed with four prominent private developers—Cardinal Group, ACRE, Parallel, and CA Ventures—to scale across college campuses across the country. These efforts address the burgeoning need for reliable EV charging options, particularly in student housing settings.

Among the educational institutions set to benefit from this initiative are Princeton University, Emory University, the University of Texas, Texas State, Texas A&M University, the University of Southern California, the University of Pittsburgh, and Boise State, among others. Xeal’s collaboration with private developers engaged in constructing student housing within these campuses addresses the unique charging needs and obstacles for students, faculty, and campus visitors by providing them convenient access to reliable stations.

“Having an extensive network of over 45,000 housing units nationwide, we’ve gained insights into resident needs, including the increasing demand for reliable EV charging among students,” said Alex O’Brien, CEO and founding partner of Cardinal Group. “Recognizing this necessity, Xeal emerged as a practical solution that aligns with our commitment to meeting evolving resident requirements.”

No connectivity, no problem

According to data from Cisco, 55% of EV charging failures are attributed to connectivity issues, and 95% of IoT issues are due to problems with central networking. Distinguishing itself from traditional charging systems, Xeal’s chargers don’t require EV charging sites to have WiFi or cellular connectivity. Instead, Xeal uses a patented self-reliant protocol that’s always-on, thus eliminating the possibilities for failure or downtime, making Xeal’s network more dependable than other solutions on the market.

“Expanding across college campuses is a direct response to shifting generational trends, moving from a ’nice-to-have’ amenity to an expectation and requirement for faculty and incoming students,” said Alexander Isaacson, Co-Founder and CEO at Xeal. “It’s our goal to minimize the hurdles to EV adoption and empower the next generation’s commitment to a greener future.”

EV charging stations are becoming increasingly needed on college campuses, with 60% of Gen Z planning to transition to EVs within the next five years. Moreover, students and staff are prioritizing sustainability when choosing colleges and universities. Incorporating EV charging stations aligns with the college’s sustainability objectives and positions it competitively. It reinforces its image as an environmentally conscious institution, representing an investment in both sustainability and the institution’s future.
