Climatize Joins West Sacramento EV Rechargerie Launch, Advancing Community Participation in Energy Infrastructure

West Sacramento, CA – March 31, 2026 — Climatize joined project partners, policymakers, and community stakeholders to mark the ribbon cutting of a new EV Rechargerie site in West Sacramento. The project reflects a broader shift in how energy infrastructure is financed and who gets to participate in it.

The site was delivered through the combined efforts of Mynt Systems, Quick Quack Car Wash, public sector partners, and skilled labor across the region.

“This is infrastructure in the truest sense,” said Will Wiseman, Co-Founder and CEO of Climatize. “Not just an asset, but something that shapes behavior, influences what gets built next, and expands what feels possible at the community level.”

From Closed Capital to Broader Participation

For decades, projects like this were financed within a narrow capital base. Banks, funds, and institutional investors dominated access, while individuals remained on the sidelines.

That model built critical infrastructure, but it limited participation.

What distinguishes this project is not only what was built, but how participation was expanded.

Through Climatize, individuals were able to invest in the project alongside traditional capital sources, participating directly in the financing of infrastructure within their own region.

Not as donors. Not as observers. But as participants.

“When participation expands, the nature of infrastructure changes,” Wiseman noted. “There is ownership, alignment, and a clearer connection between what gets built and who it serves.”

Execution Enabled by Policy and Partnership

The project was supported by California incentive frameworks, including CALeVIP and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. These programs play a critical role in improving project viability and accelerating deployment.

Their impact depends on execution across multiple layers. Development, capital formation, workforce delivery, and site-level operations must align.

The West Sacramento Rechargerie is a clear example of that coordination in practice.

Infrastructure in a New Energy Context

The expansion of EV charging infrastructure is happening within a broader shift in how energy is understood.

It is no longer only an environmental issue. It is increasingly tied to resilience, economic stability, and local capacity.

Distributed infrastructure built closer to where energy is used plays a central role in that transition.

Each project contributes to a system that is more localized, more adaptable, and less exposed to external volatility.

A Multi-Stakeholder Outcome

The delivery of the site reflects coordinated input across:

• Developers and operators

• Public policy frameworks

• Host site partners

• Skilled labor and technical teams

• Community investors participating through Climatize

Progress at this level is not driven by a single moment. It is the result of sustained alignment across these groups.

“This is what progress looks like,” Wiseman said. “Many small decisions, aligned over time, and executed in the real world.”

What This Signals Going Forward

This project is not an isolated milestone.

It reflects a structural shift toward more inclusive access to infrastructure investment and more direct participation in how energy systems are built.

Climatize operates within that shift, expanding access to investment opportunities while supporting the continued development of distributed energy infrastructure.

The project has also received external media attention, reinforcing its relevance within the broader clean energy transition.
