How EV charging helps community housing

  • Make your community a better place to live

    With free installation and all inclusive, lifetime maintenance, we give your residents high quality, near home charging whatever their housing situation.

  • Get charge points wherever residents park

    Build a local EV network at no cost to the council. We take on the risk while you get a share of the revenue.

  • Monitor performance for easier reporting

    Get real time insights from your data dashboard. Show your stakeholders how chargers are making a difference for residents.

  • Get an income that grows with demand

    We take on the risk while you get a share of the revenue. As more residents make the switch to electric vehicles, you get more to invest in your community.

  • Give your residents a greener choice

    Our chargers make it easier to charge overnight when there’s spare capacity on the grid. It’s the greenest way to charge.
