Want more, better tenants?
Provide more places to plug in.

Gyms. Game rooms. Pools. These are great draws when you own or manage a residential property and want to attract (and keep around) tenants. But what about amenities that aren’t so obvious–like EV charging stations? As more and more car owners invest in EVs, a growing number of apartment dwellers need a place to charge their electric cars. And if you want to continually impress and draw more tenants, you’ll want an EV charging partner.

EV Is On The Rise.

As more and more car owners invest in EVs, a growing number of apartment dwellers need a place to charge their electric cars. And if you want to continually impress and draw more tenants, you’ll want an EV charging partner.

The generation buying the most electric cars–Millennials–also happens to be the demographic that is most likely to live in apartment complexes. (As a side note, EV owners also tend to be more affluent, since electric cars are typically more expensive than gas-powered vehicles–so if you want to draw tenants to, say, your luxury downtown apartments, EV charging stations are the way to go.)

Attract more tenants by investing in EV charging stations

As more and more consumers become conscious of the downsides and environmental impact of a gas-guzzling vehicle–and EVs become more attainable for the average American–there remains only one major issue for most considering switching over to electric. Charging logistics.

Between 70 and 80 percent of EV owners currently charge at home or work–so you can easily attract more tenants by investing in EV charging stations, and reducing the hassle it takes to charge when you live in an apartment complex.

While many states now have right-to-charge laws giving tenants the right to install charging stations, the cost falls on them anyway to install–so it’s a consideration when looking for a property. Does the building have charging stations, or will they have to install their own or go elsewhere? Make it easier not only for current tenants, but for future electric car owners, too.

EV charging stations are a future-proof investment.

Today, nearly 14% of vehicles on the road are EVs. That number is expected to jump to 50% by the decade’s end. And by 2050, it’s expected that well over 80% of people will own electric vehicles.

That means having on-premise chargers is no longer a nice-to-have – it’s a need. Rather than driving away to a charging station, make it accessible for your tenants to charge right at their apartments.

And it’s also a revenue driver. When you partner with Zeplug, we operate, maintain and install your property’s EV chargers at little to no cost – but because you’re the host, you share in the revenue they generate – with little to no effort or disruption to you.

A Win-Win Solution.

Providing residents with all the facilities they need and want right on site is a great way to not only achieve and retain happier tenants, but improve the quality and character of your property. So why not include EV charging stations among those facilities? You get happier tenants who are more likely to renew or remain and more revenue in your pocket, not to mention the benefits to the environment. Partnering with us is a win-win.
