NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3V Infrastructure, a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure investor, owner, and operator, backed by an affiliate of Greenbacker Capital Management, today announced a relationship with Camden Property Trust (NYSE: CPT), one of the nation’s premier multifamily residential operators. The companies will deploy EV charging stations across portions of Camden’s property portfolio, expanding access to reliable, at-home charging for thousands of U.S. residents.
The multifamily housing sector faces growing pressure to meet increasing demand for accessible and reliable charging solutions. According to industry research, 31% of U.S. housing is multifamily buildings, yet fewer than 5% of rental communities currently offer onsite chargers. Given most EV charging takes place at home, EV charging at multifamily locations is critical to supporting the surge in EV ownership.
“Renters are hungry for the convenience and economic advantages of at-home charging solutions, but the burden of building, maintaining, and scaling EV infrastructure is falling on the shoulders of property owners,” said Aubrey Gunnels, CEO of 3V Infrastructure. “Building and maintaining a reliable EV charging network across geographies and utilities is complicated, time intensive, and expensive. That’s why we’re passionate about working with property owners like Camden to bring convenient charging to residents across the U.S.”
Through this relationship, 3V Infrastructure will install, own, operate, and maintain Level 2 EV charging stations at Camden communities—at no cost to Camden. This approach allows Camden to expand its charging infrastructure quickly and efficiently with 3V’s team of veteran EV charging professionals. Initial installations will take place in Austin, TX; Charlotte, NC; Phoenix, AZ; and various locations across California, with plans to expand nationwide. Camden has elected to use Loop Global as the charging hardware and software provider for the first phase of projects.
“Camden is proud to be leading the multi-family industry in offering EV Charging at our communities,” said Linda Willey, VP of Business Services at Camden Property Trust. “We believe having a dedicated team like 3V working on this crucial amenity will allow Camden to provide dependable and affordable EV charging services to our residents across the country.”
