Xeal’s 100% Uptime Guarantee EV Chargers Land on Fast Company’s 2025 Most Innovative Companies List

• Fast Company’s 2025 Most Innovative Companies list highlights 600+ businesses making the biggest impact in their industries.
• Xeal’s recognition reflects its transformative approach to EV charging, leveraging its patented technology to ensure always-on authentication, payments, diagnostics, and over-the-air updates.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xeal, the only smart EV charging solution with a 100% uptime guarantee powered by its patented self-reliant computing technology, has been named to Fast Company’s 2025 Most Innovative Companies list. The annual list recognizes organizations at the forefront of innovation, solving today’s biggest challenges while shaping the industries of tomorrow.

This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations to set new standards and achieve remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy. Alongside the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 609 organizations across 58 sectors and regions.

Xeal’s inclusion on this prestigious list is a testament to its pioneering use of multi-hop, hyper local computing architecture that is powered by tokens and ledgers, which eliminates dependence on external servers and networks to ensure 100% uptime for EV charging. Unlike standard EV charging stations that rely on a centralized cloud and networking solution which is the leading cause of failed charging experiences, Xeal’s chargers operate through a patented self-reliant computing protocol that enables smart devices (i.e. EV charging) to offer an always-on experience for all critical smart functions including authentication, payments, diagnostics, and Over-the-air (OTA) updates. This approach alleviates major pain points, like charging accessibility, in EV adoption while providing property owners with a future-proof, high-reliability solution.

“Xeal’s self-reliant computing protocol has redefined what’s possible for smart infrastructure,” said Zander Isaacson, co-founder & CEO of Xeal. “While EV charging is our focus today, our technology has the potential to unlock a new era for smart devices from secure digital payments to self-authentication across all industries. This recognition from Fast Company underscores the impact of our innovation and the broader possibilities ahead.”

This recognition comes following a year of significant momentum for Xeal, including doubling its EV charger network deployments across 400+ cities, executing some of its largest commercial real estate portfolio rollouts to date, and expanding key channel partnerships. Xeal has also added 115+ new partners in the last year, installing thousands of chargers across multifamily housing, universities, life science hubs, retail spaces, workplaces, and more—including a 10-fold increase in installations with Valiant Residential and a deployment of 80+ chargers at a major life sciences campus in Cambridge, MA, home to Pfizer and Novartis.

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward.”

The full list of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies honorees can now be found at fastcompany.com. It will also be available on newsstands beginning March 25.
