SWTCH Cortex Achieves UL Certification, Removing Infrastructure Hurdles for EV Charging

SWTCH Cortex enables unlimited charging installations with zero electrical upgrades for multifamily and commercial properties.

BOSTON, MA — April 8, 2025 — SWTCH Energy, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging for multifamily and commercial properties, today announced that its solution, SWTCH Cortex, has achieved UL Certification for its energy management technology. This achievement is a key marker of adherence to electrical safety standards and regulatory compliance.

SWTCH Cortex enables property owners to install any number of EV charging stations without electrical infrastructure upgrades, removing a key barrier to widespread EV charging deployment.

As EV adoption accelerates nationwide, the UL Certification—recognized as the gold standard for safety compliance—validates that SWTCH Cortex meets a critical safety standard, simplifying installation approvals for property managers. The system enables immediate scaling of charging infrastructure without the prohibitive costs, disruption, and delays typically associated with electrical service upgrades.

“SWTCH Cortex fundamentally changes the equation for property owners,” said Jing Guo, Head of Product at SWTCH. “Whether a building is 5 years old or 50, whether they need 10 chargers or 100, our solution delivers a frictionless path to comprehensive EV charging without electrical upgrades or compromises. Our UL Certification should facilitate swift and smooth approvals and installation so properties can electrify without delay.”

SWTCH Cortex’s multi-layered approach sets a new standard for completeness in energy management for EV charging by:

• Integrating deeply with building systems, including HVAC, to monitor real-time energy consumption
• Tapping into the full capacity of the existing electrical infrastructure to eliminate the need for upgrades when installing chargers
• Leveraging an onsite computing system for second-by-second power delivery adjustments
• Intelligently distributing available electricity based on vehicle charge states

For property owners facing growing demand for on-premises charging, SWTCH Cortex offers a future-proof solution that can grow with the property’s needs while bypassing the traditionally prohibitive costs of electrical infrastructure upgrades.

This achievement reinforces SWTCH Cortex’s position as the industry-leading solution for EV charging infrastructure deployment, complementing its existing OCPP certification and SOC II security certification.
