Insights

Clean Energy Investment Analyst

Honeywell benefits as Redaptive, which it backs, expands EV charging financing capabilities through partnership with IUC to deploy thousands of chargers.

This strategic financing partnership between Invisible Urban Charging (IUC) and Redaptive represents a positive development for Honeywell as one of Redaptive's key backers. The agreement enables Redaptive to extend its Energy-as-a-Service model into the rapidly growing EV charging infrastructure sector without requiring capital outlay from property owners.

The deal significantly accelerates IUC's deployment capabilities, with financing already committed for hundreds of new chargers with potential for thousands more in the pipeline. The partnership targets high-value commercial real estate, including IUC's existing contracts to deploy 5,000 chargers with Icon Parking across 200+ New York City sites and 35,000 chargers at Platinum Parking's 300+ locations across 19 U.S. cities.

For Honeywell, this represents an expansion of its indirect exposure to the EV infrastructure market through its investment in Redaptive, which recently secured a $650 million credit facility from CDPQ and Nuveen to grow its EaaS platform. The zero-upfront-cost model employed mirrors successful approaches in energy efficiency and removes a significant barrier to EV charging adoption in commercial real estate.

This arrangement aligns with the broader trend of infrastructure-as-a-service business models, which generate recurring revenue streams while accelerating clean energy transitions. The partnership's focus on high-density deployments at large commercial properties with 500+ parking spaces per site creates economies of scale that improve project economics and could accelerate EV adoption in urban environments where Honeywell has significant building management system presence.

The partnership allows sites to upgrade EV infrastructure at scale with no upfront costs.

IUC has a deep inventory of charger-deployment contracts that will leverage this funding.

NEW YORK, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Invisible Urban Charging (IUC), a leading provider of Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) solutions, today announced that it has entered into a financing agreement with Redaptive, a leader in Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) installations for whole-building portfolios and the installation of energy-saving and generating solutions, to supply capital for the financing and refinancing of certain upcoming and existing portions of IUC's portfolio of contracted EV charger deployments at sites throughout the United States and Europe.

Redaptive's financing solutions help enterprises with energy efficiency and sustainability projects, including funding the upfront costs, providing turnkey implementation of projects, and measuring results through smart metering. Its backers include Linse Capital, Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board, Honeywell International (NASDAQ: HON), and CBRE Group. Redaptive recently announced a US$650M credit facility from CDPQ, a global investment group, and Nuveen, the investment manager of TIAA, to expand its EaaS platform and grow its capabilities to fund projects with companies such as IUC.

"The IUC-Redaptive financing partnership provides us with the additional resources to meet our goal of deploying EV chargers in high density," said IUC co-CEO and co-founder Jake Bezzant. "The addition of this financing creates a single source of sustainable, market-ready EV deployments for commercial real estate, with no upfront costs, fixed monthly expenses, exceptional service, and highly transparent, efficient energy solutions."

Initial financing from Redaptive has already been committed to funding several hundred new chargers that IUC has contracted, in addition to potentially several thousand more in its pipeline. That pipeline includes 5,000 chargers that IUC has partnered with Icon Parking, the largest private operator of public parking facilities in New York City, to deploy throughout its more than 200 sites. In addition, following Icon's acquisition of Platinum Parking in 2024, IUC announced that it would be deploying 35,000 chargers across Platinum's more than 300 sites in 19 U.S. cities. IUC also partnered with Highwoods Properties (NYSE: HIW), a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT), rolling out EV chargers at several of its premier properties, beginning with three in Atlanta. IUC is also deploying at various commercial real estate sites in other states, including California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

"The demand for upgraded EV infrastructure continues to grow and can create long-term value for a number of groups, including commercial real estate, industrial organizations, and REITs," said Worth Gentry, Redaptive's Head of Product. "In IUC, we found a solutions provider whose approach to delivering this infrastructure – providing charging as a service in partnership with industry-leading groups – mirrors our own. By making the solution simple, and one market-tested and approved, we achieve the best kind of sustainable business, one that is profitable, repeatable, and transformative."

Last year, IUC announced that, working with CBRE, it is targeting the deployment of one million chargers over five years. IUC and CBRE are focused on large asset-class properties, including public parking, parking operators, and workplace parking facilities with more than 500 spaces per site. IUC provides its Charging-as-a-Service solutions to property owners and occupiers, while CBRE provides site selection, project management, installation, and ongoing maintenance services for the EV charging infrastructure.

"By working with our partners, IUC has created a unique solution in the market, able to bring best-in-class technology together with exceptional service and sustainable, market-understood funding," said Bezzant. "That allows us to help improve infrastructure where it's most needed – at large commercial real estate sites – and do so in a financially attractive and repeatable way."
