Infrastructure Strategy Consulting

Cost Modeling & Hardware Selection

The biggest mistake property managers make is overbuilding. We provide guidance on selecting the right hardware based on actual resident needs, helping you avoid the $100,000 panel upgrade that you might not actually need.

• Level 1 Strategy — Evaluating when the "one-outlet-per-spot" approach is the most cost-effective way to serve 80% of your residents.
• Level 2 Deployment — Modeling the costs and electrical requirements for dedicated circuits and determining the right balance of ports.
• L1 vs L2 Trade-offs — Analyzing the real-world value of Level 2 vs the dramatically lower cost of Level 1 for typical residential daily driving.

Infrastructure Optimization

Load management is the difference between a manageable upgrade and a financial disaster. We provide guidance on how to distribute available electrical capacity to maximize port count without overloading your system.

We focus on:

• Dynamic Allocation — How to serve more vehicles with less capacity by staggering charging speeds.
• Panel Capacity Analysis — Determining if your current electrical service can handle the load or if targeted upgrades are necessary.
• Software Integration — Evaluating which load-management systems actually work and aren't just marketing promises.

Financial & Operational Models

You don't have to own the equipment or take on all the risk. We help you analyze the three primary ways to bring charging to your property:

• Charging-as-a-Service — Analyzing zero-capex models where vendors own the hardware and handle maintenance.
• Property-Owned Hardware — Modeling the ROI and maintenance burden of owning and operating your own equipment.
• Utility-Funded Programs — Navigating regional utility incentives and rebates to reduce upfront costs.

Legal & Regulatory Compliance

The "don't provide charging" strategy is increasingly risky. We provide guidance on the evolving landscape of "Right-to-Charge" laws and how they affect your property.

We can help you understand:

• Landlord Obligations — What you can and cannot legally block regarding tenant-installed chargers in your state.
• Installation Standards — Defining the requirements for licensed electricians and reasonable installation standards.
• Approval Frameworks — Creating a fair and legal process for reviewing and approving tenant requests.

Vendor Selection & Analysis

The commercial charging landscape is fragmented and confusing. We provide an objective, no-sales-pitch analysis of the key players to help you choose a vendor that fits your specific property type and budget.
