Portland, Ore. – September 07, 2026 -- OpConnect, a turnkey EV charging solutions provider, has moved its headquarters to 115 SE Yamhill St. in Portland, marking the company's third relocation since its 2016 founding and expanding its capacity to serve customers across 36 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces.

U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, Oregon State Rep. Rob Nosse and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson joined OpConnect employees, investors, customers, partners and vendors for the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which included facility tours and technology demonstrations.

New facility adds space for advanced charging R&D

The expanded headquarters will support OpConnect's manufacturing operations alongside dedicated electrical infrastructure for research into battery-backed charging, bi-directional charging and microgrid integration.

"Portland has been central to OpConnect's story from the beginning, and this move gives us the room to build what comes next," said Dexter Turner, founder and CEO of OpConnect. He said the company is expanding its team and continuing to invest in Oregon's clean-energy economy.

Regional fleets already rely on OpConnect infrastructure

The company's charging network currently supports fleet electrification for the City of Portland, Multnomah County, Beaverton School District and Portland General Electric.

OpConnect said continued network growth will create clean-energy jobs and direct millions of dollars in supply-chain spending to Oregon businesses as it scales operations nationwide.
