How It Works

EV charging stations can be a profitable investment for businesses, property owners, and municipalities. Level 2 chargers cost $3,000-10,000 installed and work well for workplaces, apartments, and retail locations where cars park for hours. DC fast chargers cost $50,000-150,000 but generate more revenue per session. Revenue comes from per-kWh fees, per-session fees, or monthly subscriptions. Beyond direct revenue, charging stations attract customers (EV drivers spend 25-50% more time at retail locations while charging) and increase property values. Federal and state grants can cover 50-80% of installation costs for qualifying locations.
