Description

OptiGrid LLC is a United States based technology company focused on accelerating electric vehicle fleet electrification by removing grid and infrastructure barriers. The company develops advanced charging solutions that allow commercial fleets to deploy high power EV charging without waiting for lengthy utility upgrades or investing in expensive electrical construction. OptiGrid’s approach combines battery storage, power electronics, and intelligent energy management into a single integrated system that works with existing site power, making fleet charging faster, more flexible, and more cost effective.

OptiGrid primarily serves commercial and industrial fleet operators who need reliable and scalable charging for medium and heavy duty electric vehicles. Many fleet sites face limited electrical capacity, high demand charges, or long interconnection timelines. OptiGrid solves these challenges by using onboard energy storage to deliver DC fast charging even when grid power is constrained. This allows fleets to keep vehicles operational, reduce downtime, and expand electrification on their own schedule instead of waiting on the utility.

The company’s solutions are modular by design, enabling customers to start small and scale as their fleet grows. OptiGrid systems also support smarter energy usage by shifting load, managing peak demand, and providing operational data that helps fleets optimize charging behavior and reduce operating costs. In addition, OptiGrid supports specialized applications such as heavy duty yard trucks and logistics vehicles through integrated charging platforms like the Orange Juicer product.
