The charger is still a charger.
The make-ready is where the job actually lives.
The NEVI site that stalled because the certified payroll lived in a spreadsheet and the make-ready package lived in someone's inbox. The DC fast-charge depot where the load calc, the single-line, and the utility application never sat in the same place twice. Forge does not serve EV charging yet — this is a Charter-development vertical. It is the chest a commercial EVSE operator builds when the estimating, compliance, and permit tools he rents stop talking to each other.
The drawers that matter most
when the truck door opens.
Built to carry EVSE assemblies — Level 2 ports, DC fast-charge cabinets, conduit and trenching runs, service upgrade, NEC 625 load calcs. Designed off the same commercial-electrical assembly engine Forge already ships; the EVSE drawer is in development and Charter members size it against the work they actually win.
EV infrastructure work is increasingly NEVI- and prevailing-wage-funded. Forge's certified-payroll engine — Davis-Bacon, prevailing wage, WH-347 — already ships for electrical and is being pointed at the EVSE drawer so the funded site files in minutes, not days. Charter members confirm it against their grant terms.
Designed to carry the single-line, panel schedule, load calc, and utility make-ready package as version-controlled documents instead of email PDFs. Forge's document module ships today for electrical and solar permitting; the EV-specific package is being built into the same plate.
Stations don't stop earning at commissioning — there's maintenance, warranty, and network-uptime exposure. Forge's recurring-revenue ledger already carries RMR for security monitoring; it is being extended to hold the EVSE service-and-uptime book. In development. Charter members get it first.
Hyperion is the iPad and iPhone LiDAR instrument Forge ships today for roofing, solar, and the active trades — walk the site, capture the geometry, get a line-item estimate. It does not yet have an EVSE drawer. The intent for EV charging is ground-truth capture of the site itself — the lot, the conduit routes, the service entrance, the trenching distances — so the make-ready estimate is built off the actual ground instead of a satellite image. That capture profile is in development; Charter members get it first and help shape what it measures.
The first ev charging infrastructure Charter member
writes their own page here.
The quote, the metrics, the photograph — all of it. The Forge team supports every word; the operator carries the page. If you've been waiting for the moment that earns you the badge, this is it.
Two Charter seats open for EV charging infrastructure. The drawer is in development — the first operators shape it and earn the badge.

Not yet — and this is the honest answer. EV charging infrastructure is a Charter-development vertical. Forge ships today for roofing, security and fire, AV and low-voltage, solar, HVAC, and electrical. The EV drawer is being built on the same federation — the estimating, certified-payroll, permit, and recurring-revenue modules already exist and are being pointed at EVSE work. Charter members shape that drawer before it ships and get it first.
No, and it won't be. Those run the energized station — OCPP sessions, driver billing, live uptime — and stay the right tool for the network relationship. Forge is the operating system for the contractor who installs and maintains the site: the estimate, the make-ready package, the as-built, certified payroll, and the service-and-uptime ledger. The network portal and the install chest are different jobs; Forge is building only the one it belongs in.
Forge's compliance module already generates Davis-Bacon, prevailing-wage, and WH-347 certified payroll for electrical operators — that engine ships today. The EV drawer is being built to inherit it, so a NEVI- or prevailing-wage-funded charging site is designed to file in minutes instead of days. Charter members confirm it against their specific grant terms while the drawer is in development.
by application: $27,000 prepaid for 36 months (~$750/mo equivalent), locked forever, ten seats. Two are open for EV charging. Because this is a development vertical, Charter members are buying the drawer they help design, not a finished product — that's the trade, stated plainly.

Charter is the operator who builds with the new tools first. Ten seats across all trades. Locked when filled. The rate doesn't move — ever — while the public list rises around you.
The needs have been the same for 4,000 years.
Moving energy to where it's needed is one of the oldest jobs there is. Forge is building the chest for the operator wiring the newest version of it.
