Reasons to Invest
Our Unique Product: Our patented HYDRA-RX is the only charger controller on the market that can work with maximum output AC chargers for electric vans and buses at one-tenth of the cost of a typical DC Fast Charger.
Our Traction: The HYDRA-RX was recently selected by California’s largest utility for a pilot program using ultra-low cost excess solar power to charge school buses, giving Liberty “first mover” status with school districts and state agencies funding diesel school bus replacement.
Our Pace Ahead of the Competition: Almost all other EV charging companies are focused on public charging and offer only standard output AC chargers or expensive DC fast chargers. Liberty has been demonstrating the advantages of AC Fast Chargers (ACFC) to school districts and electric bus companies for nearly one year.
Overview
Liberty - A Different Kind Of Charging Company
When we introduced our first product in 2010, we understood that 80% of EV charging happens where vehicles are parked for several hours. For that reason, we elected to focus on creating charging solutions for workplaces, schools, apartments and condos. Over the past 4 years, our HYDRA™ EV Charger Controller has been selected by large utilities, corporations, universities, municipalities and condo associations to provide charging services to their employees, tenants, visitors, and guests. There are nearly 354 HYDRA systems operating in the US and Canada controlling about 1648 daily charging sessions (source, source).
EV car sales are accelerating and are forecasted to exceed gasoline-powered cars over the next 20 years, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (source). The focus has now shifted to the medium duty vans and buses that account for 30% of transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions (source). Electrifying these vehicles is essential and nowhere is this more urgent than school buses that today are 95% diesel powered. Whether riding the bus or playing near them, children are exposed to high levels of diesel exhaust that contributes to respiratory illnesses and is internationally recognized as a carcinogen (source). Liberty is poised to play a pivotal role in the important and necessary transition to electric buses.
Meet the HYDRA
Our patented HYDRA-R EV Charger Controller is a smart gateway that combines access control, metering, reporting, and load management capabilities in one device. A single HYDRA Controller can turn 10 low cost, basic chargers into networked “smart” chargers that are less expensive, more reliable, and more secure than those offered by other EV charging companies. Unlike typical network chargers and simple gateways, the Hydra’s powerful single-board computer enables it to continue operating in the event of loss of internet or cellular connections, a vital concern for fleet operators.
HYDRA-R Controller, Code Keypad and EV Chargers
HYDRA can control both AC Fast Chargers and normal Level 2 chargers in any combination, giving owners the flexibility to meet unexpected demands. HYDRA owners and administrators are able to control all aspects of their charging operations from their HYDRA Dashboard. Operators are able to create and issue personal identification numbers (PINs) for employees and tenants, set system output limits to avoid costly peak demand charges and generate usage reports to claim Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Credits. All of this for network service fees that are far less than those of competing network operators.
Why HYDRA is in a league of its own
- Faster AC Charge Times: Based on our research, the HYDRA is the only EV charging control system to offer AC Fast Charging with 19.2kW output, which provides the best value when charging electric school buses and medium duty electric trucks. Our product cost is a fraction of that of DC Fast Chargers.
- Greater Security: The WiFi network chargers used by our competitors can be hacked, so customers requiring a high level of security appreciate the extra level of security provided by the HYDRA.
- Cost Saving Load Management: When you charge your EVs can be more important than how much electricity you use. Utilities put higher prices on electricity consumed during periods of high demand like cold winter mornings and hot summer evenings. Our load management features help customers avoid these demand charges by scheduling charging when power is less expensive or produced from more renewable sources like solar and wind. This enables our customers to manage their carbon emissions along with their costs.
HYDRA Benefits Business and Property Owners
Access Control
The Hydra allows business owners to control who can access their chargers, often with the same HID prox card or fob that is already used for their parking gates or security doors. Alternatively, drivers can start their charging session using PINs via the Hydra’s keypad, remotely through our website, or with our HYDRA smartphone app.
Mixed Public/Private Use
For HYDRA owners who want to allow the general public to use their charging stations, Liberty's HYDRA app allows drivers to purchase charging sessions with their phone using Liberty’s optional PayByMobile billing service.
Billing Services
Business owners and property managers use access control and pricing to help defray their costs and to ensure their stations are available to employees and tenants. Liberty offers two optional billing programs: DIY Billing, where owners run simple usage reports and bill drivers themselves or Direct Billing, where Liberty bills tenants or employees on the business owners' behalf.
Our Traction
Our customers In the Electric Vehicle Market
Currently, hundreds of HYDRA systems are in operation across the U.S. and Canada, powering some of the largest employee charging networks in the country such as Los Angeles County, San Diego Gas & Electric, Arizona Public Services, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. We also have systems installed at major corporations like Unilever, Campbell's Soup, and Dow Jones, along with several educational institutions such as the University of California Los Angeles, California State University, Stevens Institute of Technology, Rider University, and the College of New Jersey.
Cushman and Wakefield, one of the largest commercial real estate operators in the world, selected our HYDRA system so their employees and tenants can use the same HID prox card they use to access parking and buildings to charge their electric vehicles. Now Liberty is working with electric bus makers Lion Electric and Blue Bird to offer HYDRA-RX to their customers. Every fleet that purchases electric buses and trucks will need to install charging systems and the HYDRA-RX is becoming the "go-to" charging system for this market.
Market Opportunity
As reported in the Washington Post, environmental and health organizations from around the country are calling on school districts to replace "dirty diesel" buses with electric ones and California is leading the way (source). The California Energy Commission recently allocated $70 million for their Electric School Bus Replacement program and another $13 million for charging infrastructure to districts across the state (source). To support this conversion, the California Public Utilities Commission has directed California’s three largest utilities to create programs that pay for up to 70% of charging system installation costs (source).The combined funding has California schools dramatically accelerating their fleet conversion timetables.
School bus carriers operate the largest mass transit fleet in the country... 480,000 school buses compared to 96,000 transit buses.
The Vision
Our Future
Since our inception in 2009, Liberty has been envisioning and working toward a future of clean electric transportation. Over the years we have built up a strong patent portfolio in EV charging and access control technology.
We believe EV charging demand is rapidly growing as prices of electric vehicles continue to drop and sales expand into the mass market. Rapid expansion of electric buses and fleets is our next big push. With our patented Hydra system providing a more robust and cost effective charging solution, Liberty finds itself poised to become a major player in this fast growing market.
In order to best capitalize on this opportunity, we are expanding our ownership, from the small group of angel investors that have supported us from the beginning, to new investors via the StartEngine crowdfunding platform.
We are developing targeted sales and marketing campaigns with the EV vehicle makers and their dealers to drive awareness of the role that the charging system plays in maximizing the operational performance and cost savings of electric vehicles. We are also working closely with major utilities who are subsidizing the creation of more fleet charging infrastructure at the direction of their state utility commissions. As the EV fleet conversion movement expands across the country Liberty intends to be at the forefront.
Liberty continues to be an access control innovator. We have recently formed a subsidiary called Liberty Health Technologies, Inc., and are developing unique products, the first focused on skin temperature screening as part of a secure Access Control system. The first product is “myTempie™”, a smartphone application that captures your forehead skin temperature at the same time it takes an authenticated selfie. In a related announcement, we are building on our existing relationship with a leading turnstile and keycard access company in the world to help businesses and consumers adapt to the new COVID-19 requirements.
The funds raised on StartEngine will help us to advance our marketing program for EV school bus chargers. We will also want to add to our operations team to help manage our growing number of deployments and increase our manufacturing capabilities to keep up with demand.
With our expected growth from these new markets and our already growing network of installed chargers providing a recurring revenue stream from existing customers, we believe Liberty is well positioned to either become a public company and thus provide our investors with liquidity, or be acquired as the EV charging industry continues to consolidate.

Liberty Access Technologies Awarded Another Electric Bus Charging Project
13 days agoLiberty’s HYDRA-RX is Ideally Suited for Charging Electric School Buses
Santa Barbara, CA – January 6, 2021: Liberty Access Technologies (LAT) reported they have received a purchase order for a HYDRA-RX AC Fast Charger Controller to be installed at the Durham Unified School District in Northern California. This is the 6th electric school bus contract that LAT has been awarded in the past year in California.
“We are so happy that schools in California continue to convert to electric school buses in order to provide our children with a clean and safe school transportation system,” said Chris Outwater, President of LAT who added, “we are recognized by the schools, utilities, charger makers and bus manufacturers as the leader in providing electric bus charging solutions.”
The HYDRA-RX is a local controller specifically designed to control high output alternating current (AC) charging stations that provide over twice the charging power of standard AC chargers. The extra power is needed to charge the much larger battery packs of electric school buses, both overnight and also during the day when the buses are idle while school is in session. AC Fast Charging (ACFC) is ideal for the medium-duty electric buses and trucks that travel less than 120 miles per day and are parked overnight in a central yard or depot. Coupled with Clipper Creek's high output basic chargers the HYDRA-RX provides quick recharging times at a fraction of the cost of DC Fast Chargers (DCFC). In addition to the ability to remotely monitor and control charging, LATs system will also load balance and collect data to receive Low Carbon Fuel Credits from the State of California.
The movement to electrify school buses is the result of significant funding from several state agencies such as the California Energy Commission (CEC) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) as well as several local air quality management districts including the South Coast AQMD and Bay Area AQMD. Approximately $70m from the state’s share of the Volkswagen Mitigation Fund has also been dedicated.

Liberty Access Technologies (LAT) Surpases $500K Milestone
about 2 months agoAs we pass the significant milestone of raising $500K in our StartEngine campaign, we want our current investors and our followers to fully understand what has led to our joint success. Most importantly, we are all in this together. Thanks to our investors we are able to add more and more fleet customers with our high amp AC system and LAT is launching a major push into multi-family residences, which is a massive market that has historically lagged workplace charging.
When we introduced our first product designed to optimize EV charging operations, we understood that 80% of EV charging happens where vehicles are parked for several hours. For that reason, we elected to focus on creating EV charging solutions for fleets, schools, workplaces, apartments and condos.

HID Global and Liberty Access Technologies Power Electric Vehicles at Cushman & Wakefield in Tampa, FL.
about 2 months agoSanta Barbara, CA – November 25, 2020: When Cushman & Wakefield decided to offer complimentary electric vehicle charging for tenants of their Tampa, FL office buildings, they knew it had to be:
- Secure to prevent unauthorized use
- Simple for authorized users
- Powered by HID Global credentials
Secure
The two buildings offering tenant charging are in the private but open parking garages of a large multi-use area. Since Cushman & Wakefield wanted to offer charging at no cost to tenants, vehicle charging stations would have to be secured for their use only.
Simple
Though security would need to be robust enough to keep out shoppers, visitors and anyone else tempted to use the stations, it also needed to be simple to use. Building management wanted to ensure easy onboarding and continued use, without constant calls to the office for forgotten passwords or user error.
Powered by HID Global
The building already used HID Global credentials for access to physical spaces like front doors and elevators. These credentials were working well for tenants and management alike, and neither group wanted an additional credential just for vehicle charging.
Solution: Liberty Access Technologies + HID Global
Liberty Access Technologies (LAT) proved the perfect solution. Its Hydra system allows for centralized monitoring and control of electric vehicle charging and integrates with existing HID Global credentials. These systems are proven effective and have long been in use by organizations across the country, including UCLA Harbor Hospital and several multi-tenant residences across the country.
Building management simply adds vehicle charging privileges to a user’s existing access credential, then the user presents their card or mobile phone each time they pull up to charge. That’s it — no complex passcodes to remember, and no complicated provisioning process to manage.
“We have always felt that allowing access to EV charging should be simple and easy. Integrating our keypad access solution with the ubiquitous HID Global proximity card reader has proven to offer many advantages not only for our large corporate customers but also for multi-tenant residences.”
—Chris Outwater. CEO- Liberty PlugIns, Inc./Liberty Access Technologies
Impact: Simple Steps to a Greener World
Approximately 30-40 people regularly use the four available charging stations, for sessions lasting around two hours each. Everyone has been thrilled. Users save about $30-$40 every month, as well as eliminate the hassle of nightly charging, and building management appreciates the Hydra’s centralized monitoring and simple provisioning to HID credentials. Best of all, the system makes the commitment to a more energy-efficient and less fossil-fuel filled world easier than ever before.
Users and building management are also pleased with the ease of use, especially that there are no complicated passwords to remember or additional credentials to carry.
