PowerUp America Strengthens Southeastern EV Network Through Partnership with Kempower
GRAY, TN – October 30, 2025 – PowerUp America, a leading developer of EV charging infrastructure, announced today a major expansion of its network across the Southeast through its continued partnership with Kempower, a global manufacturer of high-performance DC fast-charging solutions. The partnership includes a minimum order of 100 EV Chargers, located across the Southeast, which represents a major milestone in PowerUp’s mission to advance reliable, American-made charging infrastructure that powers the nation’s expansion of electric transportation.
“Our partnership with Kempower represents the kind of collaboration that defines PowerUp’s approach; pairing American-built reliability with a community-first deployment strategy,” said Josh Turner, CEO of PowerUp America. “Every new site is more than just a charger; it’s an investment in local economies, workforce development, and the transportation future we’re building across the Southeast.”
As one of the fastest-growing charge point operators in the region, PowerUp America continues to lead the charge in deploying National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) compliant stations, all meeting full Build America, Buy America (BABA) standards. Each installation reflects PowerUp’s commitment to domestic manufacturing, local job creation, and long-term reliability.
“These wins mark another major step in Kempower’s U.S. growth story,” said Monil Malhotra, President of Kempower North America. “The Southeast is one of the most dynamic EV charging markets in the country, and through our collaboration with PowerUp, we’re helping to deliver reliable, American-made fast-charging infrastructure to power North America’s electrification journey forward.”
The newly awarded sites will bring advanced high-power charging to key interstate and regional corridors, supporting both everyday drivers and commercial fleets. PowerUp’s proven turnkey model ensures each site is engineered, constructed, and operated to the highest standards of quality and uptime reliability.
“With Kempower’s North American manufacturing based in North Carolina and PowerUp’s expanding operational footprint throughout the Southeast, this partnership exemplifies the strength of regional collaboration,” said Jessie Hensley, President of PowerUp America. “Together, we’re not only delivering state-of-the-art charging solutions, we’re helping define what reliable, safe, and accessible infrastructure looks like in America’s electric vehicle market.”
The company plans continued growth through 2026 and beyond, with additional NEVI and community-based deployments in development across the Southeast.
