The Zero-Cost Swap Program: Upgrading EV Charging at No Cost
Left Behind by Your Last Provider?
You’re not alone—and we’ve got your back. Across the country, site hosts are dealing with a wave of challenges:
- Broken and offline chargers that drain revenue.
- Abandoned equipment left behind after vendor bankruptcies.
- Contract changes and unexpected rate hikes that erode profitability.
- Poor or nonexistent support, leaving sites stranded with hardware no one will maintain or software that no longer works.
The result? Frustrated owners, unhappy drivers, and damaged reputations.
At Everged, we believe no site host should be left holding the bag when a provider fails. That’s why we created a full-site recovery solution to restore functionality, rebuild trust, and get your charging network back on track.
A Real Partner for the Long Haul
When you work with Everged, you don’t just get chargers, you get a partner committed to your long-term success. We remove your old hardware, replace it with supported equipment, and provide ongoing service plans that keep your network reliable and revenue-ready.
You deserve stability and accountability, not disappearing acts and rising bills. With Everged, you gain a future-proof solution with zero CapEx.
What Is the Zero-Cost Swap Program?
The Zero-Cost Swap Program allows site hosts to replace broken, outdated, or unsupported EV chargers with new, fully supported units—at no upfront cost.
Instead of throwing good money after bad on patchwork repairs or rate-hiked contracts, you can quickly upgrade to hardware that’s:
- Grid-interactive and media-enabled
- Backed by proactive maintenance targeting 97% uptime
