Your parking lot is already a neighborhood charging station.
Over half of Chicago’s community areas have zero public EV chargers. Thousands of EV owners need somewhere close to charge overnight. Your property could be that place — and we’ll handle everything to make it happen.

The charging gap
Chicago’s EV infrastructure is concentrated downtown and in higher-income neighborhoods. Only 7.8% of public chargers are in environmental-justice communities. If you don’t have a garage with a wall outlet, charging an EV means driving across town.
Meanwhile, 44% of U.S. consumers say public charging in their area is insufficient. Apartment and condo residents can’t install home chargers. They need neighborhood-level overnight charging within walking distance.
That’s where private property comes in.
Why this matters for property owners
A new income stream from space you already have.
Steady recurring revenue
Charging fees generate monthly income from parking spaces that would otherwise sit empty overnight. The U.S. EV charging market is valued at over $5B and growing 30%+ annually.
We handle the deal
We identify qualified properties, broker partnerships with charging operators, and manage the process. You don’t source equipment or manage installations.
Serve your neighborhood
81% of EV owners say charger availability drives loyalty. Hosting chargers brings foot traffic, goodwill, and positions your property as a community asset.
Property value lift
EV-ready infrastructure is a differentiator for commercial real estate. Early movers lock in operator partnerships before the market matures.
What makes a good charging site
If your property has parking, it probably qualifies.
Parking spaces (4+)
Dedicated off-street parking. Level 2 chargers fit in standard parking stalls. No special construction needed.
Electrical service
Existing 200A+ panel preferred. ComEd offers up to $2,500 per Level 2 install through 2026 programs.
Dense residential nearby
Apartment buildings, condos, townhomes within walking distance. The best sites serve EV owners who can’t charge at home.
Ideal property types
Church lots, strip mall parking, school grounds, small commercial lots, condo visitor parking, municipal lots, and vacant paved parcels.

Common questions
How does this work financially for property owners?
Typically a monthly lease payment or revenue share on charging fees. We negotiate the best structure for your situation. Many properties see steady income from spaces that previously generated nothing after hours.
Who pays for the charger equipment?
In most partnerships we broker, the operator covers equipment and installation. ComEd also offers up to $2,500 per Level 2 charger through its 2026 Beneficial Electrification Program.
Do I have to manage the chargers?
No. The charging operator handles maintenance, software, payment processing, and customer support.
Why overnight charging instead of fast charging?
Level 2 overnight charging costs $3,000–$7,000 per port vs. $40,000–$150,000+ for DC fast charging, puts less strain on your electrical service, and fits how residents actually use it: plug in at night, wake up to a full charge.
Is this just for Chicago?
