EV+ installation model in one sentence
EV+ funds 100% of design, equipment, installation, and operations — the property pays no upfront cost, pays a monthly subscription per charger, and keeps 80% of charging revenue.
What "Installation" Actually Includes
When a commercial property installs EV chargers, the chargers themselves are a small fraction of the work. The real project is:
On a self-funded path, this typically takes 6–18 months and pulls multiple internal stakeholders (capital planning, facilities, GC, electrician, IT, AP) for the duration. EV+ runs every step on the property's behalf.
Two Installation Paths
| Phase | Self-Funded Installation | EV+ Charging-as-a-Service |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront installation cost | Property funds capital project | $0 — no CapEx required |
| Site evaluation | Property pays consultant | EV+ at no cost |
| Design and engineering | Property pays engineering firm | EV+ at no cost |
| Permits and utility coordination | Property navigates AHJ + utility | EV+ owns the entire process |
| Equipment purchase | Capital outlay | EV+ funds 100% |
| Construction and installation | Capital outlay + GC management | EV+ funds + manages |
| Operations and maintenance | Property hires operator | EV+ runs 24/7, 99.7% uptime |
| Incentive capture | Property files Section 30C, utility rebates | EV+ captures and applies directly |
| Ongoing economics | Property absorbs costs + earns net charging revenue | Monthly subscription per charger; property keeps 80% of charging revenue |
| Total effort for property | 6–18 months of multi-stakeholder work | Site walk + signed agreement |
How EV+ Installation Works
From first conversation to chargers live, EV+ handles every step:
Site evaluation
EV+ conducts a comprehensive electrical, layout, and demand assessment at no cost to the property.
Custom pro forma
Detailed financial projections based on hyper-local market data, utility rates, utilization patterns, and available incentives. Includes the subscription fee structure and projected 80% revenue share.
System design and approval
Right-sized design with load management strategy. Property reviews and approves the plan.
Permitting and utility coordination
EV+ files all permits, manages AHJ inspections, and coordinates utility interconnection and any required upgrades.
Installation and commissioning
EV+ funds, manages, and oversees all construction, electrical work, networking, and testing.
Live operations
EV+ runs 24/7 monitoring, billing, driver support, and ongoing maintenance. Property receives quarterly revenue share and performance reporting.
Why Property Owners Are Choosing No-CapEx Installation
No capital expense or board approval cycle
EV charging doesn't compete with HVAC, lobby, or value-add projects for the same capital budget. The only ongoing cost is the monthly subscription per charger.
No operational lift
Property staff don't field charging questions, troubleshoot hardware, or chase utility paperwork.
No incentive timing risk
EV+ captures Section 30C and utility rebates through the model — the property doesn't need to be placed in service before the June 30, 2026 sunset.
No performance risk
Performance guarantee with refund if utilization targets aren't met. Property carries zero downside.
Predictable operating expense plus charging revenue
The monthly subscription per charger is the only recurring cost; the 80% charging revenue share is recurring upside.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does commercial EV charger installation take with EV+?
From signed agreement to chargers live, most EV+ installations complete in a fraction of the time a self-funded project takes. EV+ already has utility relationships, fast-track design pipelines, permitting expertise, and contractor networks in place across 43 states. Self-funded projects typically take 6–18 months from start to placed in service — particularly when multifamily resident input, multiple utility approvals, or panel upgrades are involved.
Does EV+ install Level 2 or DC fast charging?
Both. EV+ designs each system based on the property's actual driver dwell time and demand. Hotels, multifamily, and workplace deployments are typically Level 2 because overnight or full-workday dwell times eliminate the need for fast charging. Retail and mixed-use sites with shorter dwell times may include DC fast charging in the mix. The right-sized design is part of the site evaluation, not a one-size-fits-all package.
What does EV+ require from the property owner during installation?
Access to the site for evaluation and construction, an authorized signatory for the agreement, and basic facilities coordination during install. EV+ does not require capital outlay, dedicated staff, contractor management, or incentive paperwork from the property. Once live, the only recurring property obligation is the monthly subscription fee per charger.
How does EV+ compare to turnkey installation services from ChargePoint, EVConnect, Qmerit, WattLogic, or Chargie?
Those providers offer turnkey project management — they handle the work, but the property still buys the chargers and pays for installation. EV+ funds the entire project with no CapEx required and operates the program under a subscription + revenue share structure. Turnkey installation reduces effort but not capital expense; EV+'s model eliminates the upfront cost and replaces it with a predictable monthly subscription per charger plus an 80% revenue share back to the property.
What does the EV+ subscription fee cover?
The monthly subscription fee per charger covers the full operating program: 24/7 driver support, uptime monitoring, repairs, firmware updates, billing infrastructure, network connectivity, and ongoing software. The entire operating stack is included. The property's only other obligation is utility cost for the electricity consumed during charging — typically passed through to drivers or netted against the 80% revenue share.
Bottom Line
Commercial EV charger installation is no longer a question of "how much will it cost" — it's a question of "who funds and manages it." For hospitality, multifamily, workplace, and mixed-use properties evaluating EV charging in 2026, EV+'s no-CapEx-required installation eliminates the capital project entirely.
The property pays nothing upfront, pays a monthly subscription fee per charger, retains 80% of charging revenue, and gets the program live faster than any self-funded path — backed by 99.7% uptime, 24/7 driver support, and a performance guarantee with refund.
