The Zero Impact Story

Zero Impact Energy is a clean energy infrastructure platform delivering EV charging and distributed energy projects across North America. As the parent company of a vertically integrated group, we oversee engineering, construction, operations, and technology to support large-scale electrification.
To date, our team has delivered over 200 projects, with deep experience in full lifecycle execution from design and permitting to construction, commissioning, and long-term operations.
Our platform brings together core capabilities across:

• Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) for EV charging infrastructure
• Operations and maintenance focused on uptime, diagnostics, and field service
• Charger hardware solutions for fleet and commercial deployments
• Charging network management through our EVOLV platform
• Energy-as-a-Service models that align infrastructure deployment with long-term performance

We operate across the West Coast and East Coast, with teams and partners positioned to support rapid deployment and complex, multi-site rollouts.
The market is shifting quickly. Electrification is being driven by rising energy demand, grid constraints, fleet transition requirements, and long-term cost advantages over fossil fuels. Delivering reliable infrastructure at scale requires more than equipment, it requires execution across every phase of the project lifecycle.
Zero Impact Energy is built for that challenge.
We are focused on building a team of operators, engineers, and builders who want to work on real infrastructure with measurable impact.
