Vesco Clean Energy LLC and EV Connect Strengthen EV Charging Infrastructure Across Michigan and the Greater Midwest
Collaboration aims to deliver new charging stations to the region, upgrade existing chargers to improve performance, and broadly improve the EV driver experience.
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — April 22, 2025 — Vesco Clean Energy LLC (VCE) and EV Connect have formed a strategic alliance, to expand and enhance the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Michigan and the greater Midwest. By combining VCE’s expertise in providing and managing charging solutions with EV Connect’s cutting-edge software platform, the two companies will deliver a robust network of EV chargers, catering to businesses, automotive dealerships, and communities across the region.
Through this collaboration, VCE will install and manage EV chargers, powered by EV Connect’s software, under its Vesconnect brand. Customers will interact with a Vesconnect-branded management dashboard, while drivers will continue using the EV Connect app to access charging stations. For site hosts, the maintenance and service experience will be simplified, allowing them to manage multiple fueling types through one comprehensive system.
“At Vesco Clean Energy LLC, we’re focused on solving driver challenges that stand in the way of EV adoption, and charger reliability is at the top of that list,” said Lilly Epstein Stotland, President and CEO, Vesco Clean Energy LLC. “By partnering with EV Connect, we’re able to offer a user-friendly, future-ready charging network that meets the needs of site hosts and drivers alike, while helping our region build the confidence and infrastructure needed to support long-term EV growth.”
In addition to deploying new chargers, VCE will rebrand existing EV Connect stations throughout Michigan under VCE’s Vesconnect network. Outdated or underperforming chargers will be upgraded to enhance reliability, uptime, efficiency, and accessibility across the network.
“As EV adoption accelerates, businesses need scalable solutions that deliver performance and value,” said Bassem Ammouri, Chief Operating Officer at EV Connect. “By leveraging the EV Connect platform, VCE empowers its partners to confidently expand their charging networks, ensuring reliable uptime, an enhanced customer experience, and long-term revenue potential.”
The collaboration also aligns with broader efforts to secure utility funding and government incentives to support EV charging infrastructure. With more than 300 chargers already deployed across Michigan using EV Connect software, the expanded network will significantly improve access to high-quality charging solutions.
"Advancing a clean energy future and the adoption of EVs will require reliable and accessible charging infrastructure, and this collaboration is one example of how companies in the industry can work together to advance those essential improvements,” said Joshua Duffany, EV Charger Program Manager at Vesco Clean Energy LLC. “We look forward to working with EV Connect to improve the EV experience in Michigan and throughout the Midwest.”
