What Happened to EvoCharge
EvoCharge was a commercial EV charger brand owned by Phillips and Temro Industries, a Minnesota-based manufacturer. For several years they were one of the few national brands selling pre-packaged commercial EV charging station kits: the charger unit, a retractor, and a pedestal, all in one order. That made them unusually useful for commercial electricians who wanted to source a complete commercial installation without juggling multiple vendors.
On September 23, 2025, Phillips and Temro announced EvoCharge was shutting down entirely. The EvoCharge Network, which handled connectivity, monitoring, and session management for networked units, ended on October 31, 2025. No new hardware orders have been accepted since then. The company contracted with Epic Charging to handle the network migration for existing deployed units, but the product line itself is finished.
For commercial electricians, this creates a direct problem: a supplier that offered a genuinely practical one-box commercial charging kit no longer exists. The options now are to source everything separately from ChargePoint, Blink, or similar vendors, or find a comparable bundle solution.
What Electricians Valued About EvoCharge's Commercial Kit
The appeal of EvoCharge's commercial bundle was straightforward. Their iEVSE and iEVSE Plus dual-port stations came with a retractor and a pedestal included. One order, one delivery, one install. For a commercial electrician bidding a parking lot job, that mattered because it eliminated:
Separate orders for the charger head, retractor, and pedestal from different vendors
Compatibility questions between components from different manufacturers
Mid-job sourcing delays when a part arrived late or was backordered
Multiple lines on the bill of materials and multiple lead times to track
The bundle concept itself was sound. The problem was that EvoCharge's hardware was limited: 32A output, non-networked base model, and a smaller brand footprint than ChargePoint or Blink.
Why Sourcing A La Carte Is Not the Answer
The instinct after a supplier shuts down is to fall back to sourcing components separately. ChargePoint and Blink both sell commercial EV chargers. Pedestals, cable management, and bollards are available through electrical distributors. But the a la carte path reintroduces the exact coordination overhead that the EvoCharge bundle removed.
When you source from ChargePoint or Blink, you buy the charger head. The pedestal is a separate order, often from a different vendor. Cable management is another line item. Bollards, anchors, and signage come from elsewhere. Compatibility between components is your responsibility. Lead times vary across suppliers. A single delayed part holds the whole install.
The result is more time on pre-job coordination, more risk of a change order, and less margin on the job.
The real cost of a la carte: EvoCharge's pricing came in below what ChargePoint and Blink charged for just the charger head. When you add pedestal, hardware, and accessories separately, you often end up paying more per installed stall than a bundled solution, with more work to get there.
The EV+ Commercial Bundle: The Direct Replacement
EV+ Charging builds commercial EV charging station installation bundles specifically for commercial electricians. The concept is the same as EvoCharge's but with higher-output charger hardware and a more complete kit. One order covers the full install. For electricians pricing EV charging stations for business clients, EV+ bundles deliver a fixed material cost from quote to install with no sourcing surprises.
EV+ commercial EV chargers are available through Rexel and City Electric Supply nationwide.

How the Charger Hardware Compares
EvoCharge's commercial units ran at 32A, delivering roughly 7.7 kW and a 6-10 hour full charge. EV+'s three options span a broader range:
Native Tesla + all J1772 EVs, Wi-Fi and mesh, +50% utilization via Tesla network. Best for hotels, retail, and mixed-use.
Hardwired, RFID ready, OCPP 1.6J, Wi-Fi and LTE. A reliable option for multifamily and workplace.
Hardwired, Wi-Fi and LTE, multiple redundancy layers. Best for premium commercial installations.
All three are JD Power supported, rated at 99.7% uptime across thousands of live EV+ deployments.
Where to Order
EV+ commercial EV charging stations are available through Rexel and City Electric Supply nationwide. For electricians searching for commercial EV charging stations for sale through existing distributor relationships, both Rexel and CES carry the full EV+ bundle lineup.
If you have active proposals or pending jobs that had EvoCharge specified, contact EV+ directly. The bundle specs are designed to be drop-in replacements for commercially available Level 2 specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is EvoCharge completely shut down?
Yes. Phillips and Temro Industries announced the EvoCharge shutdown on September 23, 2025. The EvoCharge Network officially ended on October 31, 2025. No new orders are being accepted. Contact Epic Charging for network migration of existing units.
What is the best EvoCharge alternative for commercial electricians?
EV+ Charging offers the closest equivalent: a single pre-matched kit containing the charger, canopy header, bollard, cable management, mounting hardware, and signage, all shipped together and designed to install in a single day. Available through Rexel and City Electric Supply nationwide.
What happened to the EvoCharge iEVSE Plus?
The EvoCharge iEVSE and iEVSE Plus product lines are discontinued. Phillips and Temro ended the entire EvoCharge brand in October 2025. Replacement units and accessories are no longer available.
Can I still get EvoCharge parts and accessories?
No. EvoCharge replacement parts, retractors, pedestals, and accessories are no longer available through official channels. Some third-party retailers may have remaining inventory but it will not be restocked.
Does the EV+ bundle include a retractor like EvoCharge did?
EV+ bundles include integrated cable management as a standard component in every kit. Contact EV+ for a configuration recommendation based on your project specs.
How much does a commercial ev charging station cost?
A commercial EV charging station installation typically runs between $3,000 and $12,000 per stall installed, depending on charger output, trench length, panel capacity, and site conditions. With an EV+ pre-matched bundle, your material cost is fixed from quote to install. Contact EV+ for a bundle price specific to your configuration.
Bottom Line
EvoCharge is gone. The one-box commercial install kit that made their product useful to electricians no longer exists. The a la carte alternative means more sourcing work, more coordination, and more margin risk on every commercial EV job.
EV+ delivers the same one-order concept with higher-output hardware, a more complete kit, and availability through Rexel and City Electric Supply. If EvoCharge was on your supplier list, EV+ is the direct replacement.
