Launched in California in 2019, Xeal focuses primarily on installing level-two EV chargers for multi-family apartment or condo complexes, university residence halls, and other mostly private spaces.
In 2021, Xeal introduced a distributed-ledger technology called Apollo. Xeal chargers have no WiFi or cellular connection, nor do they require the user's phone to have a cellular signal—a great thing, since many are located deep within parking garages that can act like Faraday cages. They simply rely on nearfield communication with the phone. In addition to enhancing reliability, this makes Xeal chargers less expensive to operate, too, because they don't each need their own cellular data plan.
There is nothing about the Apollo communications protocol that limits it to level 2 charging; it just so happens that Xeal has focused its marketing on real estate management companies to provide residential-type charging.

At first glance, PHEVs seem like the perfect solution and the market has embraced them accordingly. Last year alone, PHEV sales in the U.S. surged by 20 percent, with more than 860,000 now on the roads.
But there's a catch. The environmental and financial benefits of PHEVs are contingent upon one crucial factor: regular charging. When fleet drivers neglect to charge their PHEVs and rely excessively on gasoline, the advantages rapidly dissipate.
Companies must adopt a pro-charging approach. Installing charging infrastructure at workplaces, facilitating on-the-go charging, creating a home-first charging policy, and reimbursing employees for home charging are all essential steps.
By ensuring that PHEVs are charged regularly, companies can truly harness their potential for sustainability.
