EVwire brief: United Chargers Network (UCN) is taking its Supercharger for Business ambitions a step further with a new type of charging site: EV Charging Lounges designed to give drivers somewhere to actually spend their time while their vehicles charge.
The company and its CEO, Anthony Tracey, announced the development on LinkedIn. The first UCN lounges are moving toward deployment at charging sites across the company's growing network.
“Our vision was simple. Create welcoming spaces where drivers can step inside, grab a snack or drink, get some work done, relax, and recharge.”
UCN brought manufacturing in-house to maintain tighter control over design, quality, cost, and how quickly it can get lounges into the field as its Supercharger for Business footprint expands.
Here's United Chargers Network's announcement on LinkedIn:

The lounge interiors feature vending machines, seating areas, and workspaces, all packed into a prefabricated footprint that looks designed to drop alongside a row of Superchargers without requiring a full-scale construction project.

Context:
UCN is one of the companies that has emerged from Tesla's Supercharger for Business program, which launched in September 2025 and lets third parties buy, own, and operate their own Tesla Supercharger stations.
As a Charge Point Operator, UCN develops, owns, operates, and maintains DC fast charging infrastructure at commercial properties with zero upfront capital from the host. Tracey, who spent roughly seven years in Tesla's charging division before stints at Rivian and Qmerit, built the company specifically around the Supercharger for Business model.
UCN previously told EVwire that multiple additional sites were already in development across several states, with the company targeting commercial property owners, developers, retailers and other site hosts. If UCN can combine Tesla's Supercharger hardware and network with its own site development and customer-facing infrastructure, it could create a fairly distinctive version of the Supercharger for Business model.
