Boston’s largest apartment EV charging project to date just went live in Hyde Park.
EV charging company Loop Global installed 64 Level 2 chargers at a newly built apartment development in Boston’s Hyde Park, at 36–40 Sprague Street. According to Ohm Analytics, it’s the largest multifamily EV charging installation in Boston so far.
The project includes 64 Flex 32A Level 2 chargers spread across two residential buildings, covering 25% of the available parking spaces.
Loop also provided its networked charging software platform, which gives residents access to real-time monitoring and energy management tools.
EV charging built in from day 1
The 247-unit development was led by Commonwealth Development Partners, which said it planned for EV charging from the earliest stages of the project instead of adding it later.
The Hyde Park site was chosen for its easy access to downtown Boston and surrounding suburbs, making it attractive for commuters and transit-oriented residents.
DMH Electric handled the electrical work and coordinated with utility Eversource to secure incentives that covered around 70% of the project’s total costs. Those incentives funded infrastructure for all 64 charging ports, as well as part of the charging hardware.
Design work and rebate applications were submitted in early 2025. Installation started in October 2025, and the chargers were commissioned in early 2026.
“Multifamily EV charging is one of the most important pieces of the transition to electric vehicles,” said David Hinckley Jr., president of DMH Electric. “Most drivers charge where they live, and projects like this ensure residents have reliable, convenient access to charging at home.”
Electrek’s Take
Apartment and condo charging remains one of the biggest gaps in EV infrastructure in the US, especially in cities where many residents don’t have access to home garages.
So building EV charging into new multifamily developments from the start is much smarter and cheaper than retrofitting properties years later.
A notable thing about this apartment EV charger project in Boston is the strong financial support from utility Eversource. Covering roughly 70% of project costs makes these kinds of installations far more realistic for developers. But available support for new multifamily buildings in cities will vary widely, from none to a lot, depending on the city, state, and utility. Massachusetts has EV-friendly policies. It really depends on where the development is taking place.
