What This Webinar Covers:
Deploying EV charging stations on a multifamily property is not as simple as picking a product and plugging it in. In this webinar, REVS Founder and CEO David Aaronson walks through the decisions property owners need to make before installation — and the mistakes that cost the most when they get overlooked.
Why EV Charging Is No Longer Optional
Residents are already making housing decisions based on whether a property offers charging. Properties that don't have stations aren't losing prospects to a competitor with better amenities. They're losing them to single-family homes where charging is easier. The conversation has shifted from "should we add charging?" to "how do we add it correctly?"
Choosing the Right Hardware and Accessories
Not all charging stations are built the same. Level 2 chargers range from 7.2 kWh to 19.2 kWh, and the right choice depends on your residents' driving habits, parking layout, and electrical capacity. David explains what to look for in hardware durability, cord length, mounting options, and weather resistance — and why the cheapest option on paper often turns into the most expensive decision long-term.
Software Matters More Than You Think
The real difference between EV charging products is in the software. Can residents reserve a charger? Can the property charge a connection fee to prevent someone from sitting on a station after their car is full? Can billing rates adjust based on time of day? These features directly affect whether charging stations generate revenue or create headaches for your property team.
How Financial Incentives Work
Federal, state, and local programs offer grants, tax credits, and utility rebates that can significantly offset installation costs. But these programs have deadlines and limited funding. David breaks down what's currently available and how to apply before the money runs out.
Selecting the Right Partner
Most EV charging companies come from a technology background, not a real estate background. That gap shows up in how they plan deployments, how they handle resident issues, and how they think about long-term infrastructure needs. David explains what to look for in a partner who understands both the charging technology and the realities of managing a multifamily property.
