It’s an efficient, compact and versatile system designed on a foundation of Eaton experience and industry knowledge

Eaton was founded 113 years ago, and over a century of experience in the electrical and industrial sectors has prepared us to embrace the challenges and opportunities of today with purpose and confidence.

As electrification rises to the forefront of most companies’ agendas, Eaton is well-positioned to lead the way.

“The shift to electrified transportation goes beyond vehicles—it’s about scalable and resilient infrastructure,” says Wesley Agbogidi, product manager for EV charging infrastructure at Eaton.

“We deliver EV charging and electrical distribution solutions that enable clean energy integration, grid stability, and a sustainable future.”

At its core, Eaton is a power distribution and management company. It is a natural evolution for us to be deeply invested in solutions that support a successful transition to electrification—with EV charging solutions playing a key role in this journey.

To meet the demands of this transformative shift, Eaton has developed an in-house, turnkey solution tailored for multi-point public and commercial EV charging deployments, making electrification accessible and efficient for a changing world.

MURB challenges

The basis of electrification is twofold: power and managing available power.

“Our philosophy is simple: EV charging should be as seamless and reliable as electricity itself. At Eaton, we focus on creating solutions that are intuitive, efficient, and future-ready, ensuring contractors, operators and users alike experience the best in convenience and performance,” says Agbogidi.

Accessing charging infrastructure in existing multi-unit residential buildings presents unique complexities. Recognizing and addressing the challenges of retrofitting EV charging in these environments was a top priority for Eaton when we collaborated with Evolute Power, an electric utility manufacturer, to develop the Evolute charging panel.

The Evolute is an innovative smart panel system that places the “brains” of the charging solution within the power distribution panel itself—rather than in each individual charging station.

This PLC-based, charger-agnostic system not only simplifies installation and management but also offers flexibility in billing, supporting either built-in billing or seamless integration with any third-party metering provider.

“With the Evolute – Eaton redefines modularity and scalability for Multi-Unit Residential EV charging,” says Agbogidi. “Our platform is a load management solution that empowers MURBs to optimize today’s electrical needs while adapting to future demands, ensuring flexibility and efficiency on limited electrical capacity.”

All-in-one solution

One of the themes that carries through all of Eaton’s charging solutions is that we pride ourselves on making a piece of equipment where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

That is to say we strive to combine multiple links of the EV charging process into one solution to maximize efficiency, performance and cost of the entire project.

“As cities grow and EV adoption accelerates, demand for compact, high-performing solutions rises. Eaton leverages 100-plus years of power distribution expertise to deliver innovative, space-saving designs that streamline EV charging infrastructure. Our solutions provide powerful, efficient, and intelligent support for evolving energy demands,” says Agbogidi.

Eaton identified a key gap in the market: the need for a single, integrated solution to carry electricity seamlessly from the utility directly to the charger. To address this, Eaton developed an all-in-one commercial solution that consolidates everything required for power distribution; includes a transformer that steps down the 600 volts delivered by the utility, distribution board and our smart EV breaker chargers which integrate the protection and charger into 1 unit.

“Eaton sets the standard with comprehensive EV charging solutions, integrating advanced power distribution and intelligent energy management. We deliver a seamless pathway from grid to EV, offering distribution, protection, and battery storage for sustainable energy,” says Agbogidi.

Eaton’s commercial solution offers a space-saving, cost-effective design that requires less cabling and is conveniently portable on skids. These features make it an ideal choice for fleet operators who need flexibility and scalability, such as car dealerships and school bus fleets.

However, we understand that every fleet has unique requirements, and the Eaton team is ready to support you in finding the perfect fit. Reach out today to discuss your fleet or site’s specific needs and let us bring our century of expertise to your electrification journey.
