At current growth rates, there will be more than 30 million electric vehicles (EVs) on U.S. roads within a decade, and that was projected before California and New Jersey called for a ban on gas car sales by 2035. So, the question is — where will they all charge?
There are a number of efforts underway to increase public charging, especially fast charging along major highway corridors by companies like Electrify America, EVgo, and Tesla. But if today is any guide, more than 80% of charging will continue to take place at home. That’s great news for homeowners since most “fueling” won’t even take a trip to a station across town; instead, drivers can pull into their own garage and charge up overnight.
But what about the 40% of Americans who rent or live in multi-unit dwellings (MUD)? Most of these buildings were designed (and built) long before EVs hit the mainstream. As a result, they lack adequate electrical infrastructure for EV charging, and many retrofitting options today are prohibitively expensive for the owner’s or HOA’s budget. As more and more tenants make the switch to electric cars, they will demand charging at their multi-unit dwelling.
EVmatch* is the affordable EV charging solution for apartments and condos, up to 60% less than other options on the market. We combine networked charging stations with our management software so that property owners can recoup electricity costs, add a new revenue stream, and attract valuable tenants with a charging amenity. Check out this one-minute video of our EV charging solution for multi-unit dwellings.
