World EV Day reminds us that EV charging isn't just infrastructure—it's a revenue driver. ⚡=💲 Property owners are seeing charging stations enhance property values, improve tenant retention, and generate long-term income streams. The key is partnering with the right CPO who can deliver results without requiring massive upfront investment from property owners. Smart partnerships create win-win scenarios for everyone. 📖 Read our full research on scalable EV operations: http://cbre.co/3Ie9s1M #WorldEVDay #CBRESustainability #EVCharging #TenantRetention

⚡ Hot Topic: Should EV chargers be required in every new commercial development? Across the country, cities are starting to adopt building codes that make EV-ready infrastructure mandatory for new properties. The idea is to stay ahead of demand and avoid costly retrofits later. But it’s not without controversy: Developers argue the cost is too high compared to current demand. Property owners worry about ROI in markets with fewer EV drivers. On the other hand, drivers and sustainability advocates see it as a no-brainer. We’re debating this right now inside the EV Charging Solutions & Stories community group. 👉 Join the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gNyCz5j2 Your voice—whether as a driver, business owner, or industry pro—can help shape how the EV future unfolds.

The U.S. just doubled down on EV charging expansion — $2.5B in new grants are being rolled out to support nationwide infrastructure AEV is positioned to help property owners capture this opportunity: we align projects with rebates, compress payback, and keep uptime above 97% 📈 Property owners → earn recurring revenue 🌍 Drivers → reliable charging where they need it Together, we’re building the EV future #EVInfrastructure #EVGrants #SmartBusiness #EV

You wouldn’t build your own cell towers—so why take on EV charging?    Top apartment owners are turning to third-party ownership models to meet increasing resident demand for EV chargers. Owning and operating EV charging in-house can quietly strain teams, increase risk, and hurt financial metrics.    3V Infrastructure takes on the cost, risk, and complexity, so you don’t have to.    Read more: https://lnkd.in/eHHKds-s  

The $55 million “Fast Charge California Project” will cover as much as the entire cost of installing fast EV chargers at businesses and other public sites statewide. State of California #automotive #evs #evcharging #batteryelectricvehicles https://lnkd.in/gE7FPHgd

The gap in EV incentives across states is striking. Seeing Michigan step up with $70K per port is impressive, but it also makes me think about how different the landscape looks here in Oregon. We may not have one giant rebate, but we do have stackable incentives that, when pieced together, makes projects viable. The challenge is that most commercial property owners don't know where to start. That's where we spend a lot of our time at Charli Charging, helping owners navigate the funding maze so projects don't stall before they even begin. Incentives matter, but clarity matters even more.

Fleet electrification isn't plug-and-play; it's a process.   That's the essential thing I've observed while working on the National Grid team to help usher New York into the EV future. Every project is different. But whether we're working with a small light-duty fleet, trucking fleet or a school district electrifying their bus fleet, two things are clear.   The first: Earlier is better.   Electrification takes time, and a lot of assessment and design has to happen before chargers and EVs arrive at any facility. Understanding what it takes is key to making it happen, and a conversation with your utility can help identify capacity, flag timelines, and clarify where upgrades might be needed to support your EV charging project.   The second: Embrace the process.   Electrification doesn't just mean switching from one type of vehicle to another. It means working with new vendors, introducing new software, facility upgrades, and it means thinking in kilowatt hours (kWh) per mile instead of miles per gallon. It's not always quick, easy or simple, but committing to figuring it all out — together — ensures a smoother road ahead.   National Grid's Fleet Advisory Program isn't just about connecting customers to no-cost fleet assessments or incentives for EV infrastructure. We're here to act as an A to Z resource on electrification and to connect you with partners across the state so we can all navigate toward our electric transportation future.   What’s one thing you’ve learned — or wish you knew earlier — about taking your fleet electric? #ElectricVehicles #BigWork #UpstateNY

Navigating the landscape of electric vehicle (EV) charger installations can seem daunting, but substantial financial incentives are available. In Georgia, programs like Georgia Power cover 50% of the total cost. When combined with federal and state initiatives, property owners can recover around 90% of their investment for a typical 2-4 charger setup. Exploring and leveraging these incentives makes the transition to EV infrastructure more accessible and affordable. It's beneficial to stay informed about available resources to maximize savings on EV charger installations. #EVCharging #Incentives #GeorgiaPower #CleanEnergy #TaxCredits

What if the biggest barrier to your growth isn’t competition, but time? ⏰ Let's say it takes you 1 or even 2 years to get through planning, approvals, and integrations... Do you know what happens in that time? Europe rolls out over 300.000 new public charging points. That’s 300.000 opportunities your competitors capture while you are still waiting. And this timeline is not sci-fi, quite the oppostite, in fact 👽 In my experience, the average EV charging project includes 6–8 stakeholders before it goes live. Each handover adds weeks or even months. Multiply that across grid approvals, roaming agreements, construction companies, landlords, EV charger delivery times and many more... And suddenly, a launch that should take months stretches into years. Imagine the revenue lost in that gap. 📉 The most dangerous part is how easily this delay becomes accepted. Teams get used to long lead times. Meanwhile, your competitors cut the timeline in half and win the same customers you were aiming for. 👉 So let me ask you: What needs to change first if we want to cut project timelines in half ⚡⚡⚡?
