Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Porto, I-Charging has secured a major partnership to supply around 1,000 fast-charging systems for electric vehicles to the North American market. This milestone consolidates its trajectory of rapid international expansion and reinforces Portugal’s role in the global shift toward sustainable mobility.

The systems developed by the company are direct current fast chargers (DCFC) with power outputs ranging from 50 kW to 400 kW per socket. Such capacity allows for a significant reduction in charging times, a critical factor in encouraging the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. By deploying this technology in the United States, I-Charging extends the reputation it has already built in Europe for innovation, reliability, and smart design in the field of e-mobility infrastructure.

To operate in the demanding North American market, the company’s charging stations achieved several essential certifications. These include international standards such as ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 27001 for cybersecurity, as well as the ETL certification required in the United States and the CTEP certification specific to California for accurate energy measurement. These approvals not only demonstrate compliance with rigorous technical requirements but also underline the company’s ability to compete at the highest level of global industry standards.

The chargers are designed with connectivity at their core. Features such as continuous remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, independent communication channels, and intelligent cable management ensure that operators can maintain maximum system availability. This combination of performance, resilience, and operational intelligence positions I-Charging’s solutions among the most advanced worldwide and addresses the needs of clients across commercial properties, municipalities, and utility sectors.

In Europe, I-Charging had already been recognized as one of the continent’s fastest-growing technology firms, achieving visibility in reports by major consultancies that monitor innovation and business acceleration. Its growth trajectory reflects a wider trend in which Portuguese technology companies are stepping onto the global stage, competing successfully with established international players. By entering the US market with a large-scale contract, the company demonstrates that its expertise is exportable and adaptable to very different regulatory and business environments.

The upcoming projects in the United States include large urban charging programs, such as those being developed for public networks in major cities, where demand for reliable and high-capacity charging solutions is soaring. With an initial horizon of a decade of operation, these projects confirm the long-term commitment to building a robust charging infrastructure capable of supporting mass electrification.

The story of I-Charging highlights how a relatively young Portuguese company has leveraged innovation, compliance with high standards, and technological excellence to establish itself in one of the most competitive industries of our time. Its expansion from Europe to the United States signals not only its own success but also the growing recognition of Portugal as a source of advanced technological solutions with global relevance in the transition to clean energy and sustainable mobility.
