With the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), access to reliable, affordable, and safe chargers is in high demand. Since 80% of charges happen at home or work, workplaces across the country have a unique opportunity to meet these demands while also receiving added long-term business benefits.
Added Long-Term Benefits:
Greater Tenant Attraction and Retention
Offering chargers at work can be a great way to optimize tenant retention and attract top talent. According to a report by Plug America, a survey of over 1,000 drivers found that 98% of respondents who currently lack access to charging at work said they would be interested or very interested in having access. For drivers without adequate home chargers, having stations at work can make a world of difference. Charging solutions at the office allow drivers to charge while they work, mitigating range anxiety and ensuring no personal time is wasted searching for public stations.
Future Proofing Your Property
Electric (EV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), and Battery-Electric (BEV) vehicles are here to stay. As EV infrastructure, battery technology, and models continue to advance, the adoption of EVs is likely to rise in tandem. According to the California Energy Commission (CEC), as of May 2025, nearly 2.5 million zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) have been sold in California alone. Installing chargers enables properties to meet current needs immediately while also preparing for future demand.
Building a Sustainable Community and Meeting Company Environmental Goals
Electric vehicles also offer numerous environmental benefits that offices can capitalize on. Providing EV charging solutions allows more drivers to switch to electric if they desire. Access to EV charging should be universal, providing everyone with the ability to drive an EV if they choose to. EVs help build a greener, healthier community through reduced noise and air pollution. Companies that support EV adoption by increasing access to charging infrastructure at their properties can help contribute to building a greener community and improving public health. Additionally, properties offering green solutions can help companies meet their goals and enhance their brand image as environmentally friendly, thereby attracting and retaining more eco-conscious tenants.
Increased Property Value and Greater Online Visibility
EV charging as an added amenity can increase property value while also strengthening the property’s visibility online. Many online platforms now include filtration systems that allow business owners to quickly and easily narrow down their search for workplace rentals to only properties that provide EV charging. Additionally, specifying EV charger requirements in web and AI searches can completely filter out properties that don’t offer charging as an amenity. In these cases, not providing EV charging solutions can entirely remove a property from search results, making it undiscoverable to prospective clients.
Consistent Revenue Stream
A lucrative benefit of EV chargers for workplaces is that they can quickly become a new, consistent stream of revenue. With Chargie’s Management Platform, property owners can adjust their station rate, determining overall profit. As for installation costs, many properties are eligible for incentive and rebate programs, which often completely offset these costs - making chargers an easy new source of revenue.
