Increase Your Profitability with Public EV Charging

Elevate your business's bottom line with public EV charging solutions. Discover why you should take advantage of the financial rewards and sustainable growth opportunities.

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, innovation and forward-thinking planning are key to staying ahead. As states like California continue their drive toward becoming zero-emission states, businesses play a pivotal role in supporting the electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure by installing public charging stations.

The EV Revolution and Business Opportunities

The global shift toward electric vehicles is undeniable. According to the Department of Energy, “California had approximately 906,620 light-duty electric vehicle registrations in 2022”[1]. With governments and consumers alike prioritizing eco-friendly transportation options, the electric vehicle market is booming. This presents a unique opportunity for businesses to tap into a growing customer base and elevate their profitability.

Exploring the Rewards

As the number of EV cars on the road continues to rise, businesses stand to gain by providing EV charging services such as:

• Diverse Revenue Stream: Such services can draw more customers to your location and offer flexible payment methods, including the option to bill users directly for their hotel room, thereby bolstering your bottom line. A key leader in the hospitality industry, Holiday Inn, is a great example as they have installed EV charging stations at nearly 800 locations worldwide.
• Customer Loyalty/Branding: Customers are more likely to return to businesses that align with their values. By providing electric vehicle charging stations, your business not only showcases its dedication to environmental responsibility but also establishes a brand known for championing a greener and more sustainable tomorrow.
• Cost Savings: Installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure today can yield long-term cost savings, especially as electric vehicle policies become more prevalent. According to Energy.Gov, “…EV drivers pay $1.22 to drive the same distance a conventional car could go on a gallon of gasoline”[2]. Businesses that look ahead are integrating towards an electric fleet, positioning themselves for long-term financial savings.
• Government Incentives: Furthermore, expanding your EV infrastructure can qualify your business for various government incentives, such as the LADWP Commercial EV Charging Station Rebate and tax credits. Leveraging these opportunities can make the installation of EV charging stations even more cost-effective.

Incorporating public EV charging solutions into your business strategy is not just an environmental responsibility; it's a savvy financial move. By doing so, you can elevate your business's bottom line, attract more customers, and position your brand as forward-thinking and eco-conscious.
