This partnership will bring over 400 charging stations to more than 80 multi-family home properties owned by Starwood Capital across the US.

Chargers will be delivered and installed in the next six-to-12 months, expanding EV access to over 55,000 consumers across 12 states. EnviroSpark says it is the largest deal of its kind for a single owner of multi-family properties.
