Autel Energy has been named a preferred EV charging hardware provider for LAZ Parking, which intends to deploy 50,000 AC Level 2 charging points over the next five years (so by 2029-2030).

The program was announced in February 2025, when LAZ Parking revealed its strategic software partner: Epic Charging. Now we also know the hardware provider.

According to the press release, Autel Energy and Epic Charging will work together to execute LAZ Parking’s vision. Autel underlines that its charging stations “are designed to adapt to a wide variety of use cases — from commercial garages to mixed-use developments”.

Epic Charging’s open protocol (OCPP) Charge Point Management System (CPMS) will offer a full range of features, including remote monitoring, smart charging schedules, built-in payments, and real-time analytics. One of the most important aspects of the project will be integrating the CPMS with LAZ’s existing e-commerce, reporting, and customer service platforms.

Considering that LAZ Parking operates over 1.7 million parking spaces across more than 4,000 locations in 43 states and 536 cities in the US and Canada, 50,000 charging stalls would be less than 3% of the total. Nonetheless, it’s an important step, which might spark an additional electrification wave. Separately, the company is also partnering with DC fast-charging networks like BP Pulse.

Michelle Luo, Chief Revenue Officer at Autel Energy North America, said:

“We’re thrilled to be working alongside LAZ and Epic Charging to support one of the most ambitious EV infrastructure rollouts in the country. Our chargers are designed to adapt to a wide variety of use cases—from commercial garages to mixed-use developments—and we’re proud to help enable such a transformational and impactful effort.”

Michael Bakunin, CEO of Epic Charging, said:

“At Epic Charging, we really value Autel’s hardware for its quality, reliability, and outstanding support. That’s why we’re excited to work with Autel Energy on LAZ Parking’s large-scale EV charging rollout, ensuring a smooth and efficient driver experience in North America. Our CPMS offers LAZ a full range of features—like remote monitoring, smart charging schedules, built-in payments, and real-time analytics—and is fully OCPP-compliant. Epic will integrate its system with LAZ’s existing e-commerce, reporting, and customer service platforms, creating a seamless and cohesive charging experience.”

Alan Lazowski, Chairman and CEO of LAZ Parking, said:

“The selection of Epic Charging and Autel Energy reinforces LAZ’s commitment to deploying high-quality, scalable, and user-friendly charging solutions at LAZ-managed properties in the U.S. and Canada. This partnership will serve as the backbone of this growing network, delivering reliability and performance to meet the needs of both property owners and EV drivers. The partnership with Autel and Epic gives our clients ultimate flexibility on pricing for customers, tenants and residences and allows LAZ to seamlessly integrate the EV charging alongside the parking operations.”
