Which property types are deploying EV charging?
Post-2024 EV charging is table-stakes in multifamily Class A, Class A office, shopping-center anchored by Walmart / Target / Wawa / Buc-ee's, hotel + resort, parking + parking-garage, fitness-center, condo-hoa luxury, medical-office, and campus. New construction increasingly required to be EV-ready. Older buildings retrofit during repositioning. EV charging is also its own property type — see /resources/glossary/ev-charging.
What is the difference between Level 2 and DC fast charging?
Level 2 (7-19 kW) takes 4-8 hours to charge an EV from empty — appropriate for workplace, multifamily, hotel overnight, residential. DC Fast Charging / DCFC (50-350 kW) charges 80% in 20-45 minutes — appropriate for highway corridors, retail co-located, gas-station-adjacent. The two have very different unit economics: L2 is amenity-priced or low-margin; DCFC is monetized at $0.30-0.60/kWh.
How does EV charging affect property valuation?
In multifamily, EV charging adoption is now demanded by Class A renters — its absence is a competitive disadvantage. In office, tenant RFPs increasingly include EV charging as required amenity. In retail, charging-station co-location drives 15-25% lift in dwell time + ancillary spend (Wawa data). NEVI grant funding covers 80% of project cost for highway corridor stations meeting design + access standards.
