Fleets switch to Electric - Guide on EV Charging Solutions.

Key Selling Points - Multi-Unit Housing

Information to know:

  • L2 Opportunities

  • MUH’s can increase the value of their property with EV charging stations

  • MUH’s can improve the attractiveness of their property for higher-earning tenants by offering EV charging onsite

  • Convenience for their tenants to charge onsite and not solely rely on public charging options

  • Be aware that some municipalities mandate specific requirements for EV charger installation in new multi-unit housing construction projects. It's important to research or inquire about these requirements to ensure compliance/opportunity.

  • Understanding connectivity options is crucial for Smart EV Charging Deployments, particularly in parking garages and subterranean parking areas. Since electric vehicles frequently require software updates, ensuring that parking facilities offer connectivity access for tenants is considered a best practice anyway.

ZEF Features

    ZEFNET’s Driver Grouping feature allows for the assignment of specific EV chargers to designated drivers, such as tenants, in either assigned parking spaces or open parking areas. This ensures that individual charging stations are protected and cannot be accessed by unauthorized drivers.

  2. Power Sharing
    Unique Power Sharing functionality at the Panel and Breaker-level to allow properties to install chargers within existing electrical limitations and maximize # of plugs for future growth.

  3. Charging-as-a-Service
    Charging-as-a-Service options allow owners to manage cashflow and allow for easier adoption.
