Axria and EV Buddy Announce Strategic EV Charging Partnership Across Mid-Atlantic Portfolio

10-year program expected to generate approximately $30 million in combined charging and service revenue

NJ, UNITED STATES, January 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Axria Real Estate Group (“Axria”), a New Jersey–based real estate development and investment firm, and EV Buddy Inc. (“EV Buddy”), a cleantech company focused on EV charging software and services, today announced a strategic partnership to deploy smart EV charging infrastructure across Axria-owned properties in New Jersey and the broader Mid-Atlantic region.

Based on the planned build-out and projected utilization, the partners estimate the program could generate approximately $30 million in combined charging and service revenue over the next 10 years, subject to site development, utilization, and market conditions. Under the partnership structure, EV charging hardware will be owned by Axria and/or dedicated capital partners, while EV Buddy will provide its EVChargeShare™ cloud platform, charger configuration, monitoring, and operations support.

Phased rollout starting with 5-site initial program

The initiative will begin with a five-site Phase 1 deployment in New Jersey designed to validate the business model across multiple property types. The initial program is expected to include:

Two (2) office buildings equipped with Level 2 AC chargers for employees, tenants, and visitors;

One (1) multifamily residential property equipped with Level 2 AC chargers for residents and guests;

Two (2) retail locations equipped with EV Buddy’s EV Charger 2.0 DC fast chargers, designed to serve approximately four (4) to eight (8) vehicles per site, including at least one high-power Level 3 site with four (4) DC fast-charging ports.

Following successful performance of this initial program, the parties intend to expand to up to twenty (20) Axria buildings in total (inclusive of the initial five sites), extend the model to additional Axria properties where the business case is attractive, and evaluate additional DC fast charging (Level 3) hubs developed in collaboration with a qualified charge point operator (CPO) and private equity / infrastructure investors, with integration to EV Buddy’s software where feasible.

Across Axria-owned Level 2 sites, net charging revenue (after payment processing, network, tax, and agreed financing fees) is expected to be shared between Axria (or the applicable asset owner) and EV Buddy under a host–operator revenue-sharing framework to be finalized in the definitive agreements. Revenue structures for Level 3 DC fast charging hubs may be tailored to reflect the participation of charge point operators or infrastructure investors, while still aligning incentives for both Axria and EV Buddy.

Leadership comments

“EV charging is becoming a core amenity and a long-term value driver for our properties,” said Chandra Mandalapu, Chief Executive Officer of Axria. “By partnering with EV Buddy, we can move quickly with a unified strategy that supports our tenants, residents, visitors, and community while positioning our portfolio for the next decade.”

“Axria brings a strong pipeline of properties and a long-term view, which is exactly what’s needed to build meaningful EV infrastructure,” said Suresh Arya, Founder & CEO of EV Buddy Inc. “Starting with office, multifamily, and retail sites—and then scaling to as many as 20 buildings—we expect to create a network of smart charging locations that serve drivers, strengthen Axria’s assets, and deliver an estimated 10-year combined revenue opportunity of around $30 million.”
