Orange builds low‑amperage EV charging sockets specifically for apartment and multifamily garages, designing the sockets to install like a standard household outlet and intentionally excluding charger cables. Each box includes cellular, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and the company is adding Wi‑Fi mesh networking so sockets can extend each other’s range; sockets can also start charging via a user’s phone over Bluetooth without internet. The product targets property owners and large multifamily developers and includes tenant billing by usage, positioning many lower‑amp outlets as an alternative to a few high‑amperage Level 2 stations. Orange reports roughly 500 outlets installed across 75 locations and says it is accelerating rollout. The company closed a $2.5 million round late last year and is preparing to raise a larger round to hire (notably front‑end developers) and ramp production with its contract manufacturer. Management argues the model lowers upfront install costs for owners and can deliver a three‑ to five‑year payback and 150–200% return over ten years.
