Executive Summary

EV charging is no longer an amenity; it is a utility. Commercial properties without sufficient charging capacity are seeing devaluation and higher vacancy rates.

The New "Location, Location, Location"

For retail and office assets, "dwell time" is currency. Installing DC Fast Chargers attracts high-income EV drivers who spend 30-40 minutes shopping while they charge. CRE owners are transforming parking lots from cost centers into revenue-generating energy assets.

Cap Rates & Future Proofing

Institutional investors are discounting properties that lack the electrical capacity for future charging needs. Upgrading transformers and switchgear is expensive; properties that are "EV Ready" command lower Cap Rates (higher value). EV.NET could host the global MLS for EV-ready commercial assets.

Multifamily Retrofits

Right-to-charge laws are forcing apartment complexes to install chargers. The management of billing, access control, and load sharing in older buildings is a massive prop-tech opportunity. A centralized platform is needed to bridge the gap between property managers and energy providers.

Strategic Opportunity

Own the Digital Infrastructure

As the market for Real Estate matures, authoritative digital real estate becomes scarce. EV.NET is the category-defining asset for this sector.
