Electric vehicle (EV) adoption is set to receive a major boost, thanks to a new partnership between Nuvve Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: NVVE) and WISE EV. As per the announcement made last month, these two companies are joining forces to bring high-speed EV charging stations to over 100 high-traffic locations throughout the United States.
This news comes as a welcome relief for many EV drivers who have been grappling with “range anxiety,” the fear of running out of battery power while on the road. Nuvve’s CEO, Gregory Poilasne, highlights the added value these charging stations bring by not only meeting the immediate needs of EV drivers but also contributing to grid stability through Nuvve’s Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology.
A Partnership Unveiled in Las Vegas
The partnership was officially announced ahead of the Minority Business Enterprise Input Committee Open House in Las Vegas.

The cutting-edge fast-charging stations will be rolled out to over 100 high-traffic locations, including convenience stores, hotels, shopping malls, and other key areas in the coming years. The Las Vegas event provided a first look at these stations and demonstrated how Nuvve’s V2G technology and WISE EV’s solutions are shaping the future of energy while also stimulating economic activity in communities nationwide.
