Case Study

Retail / Landlord

THE BRIEF

Convert two underused bays into destination charging. Capture the EV-driver demographic on routes through the park. Surface the footfall uplift in service-charge and turnover-rent. Avoid CPO contracts that lock out future options.

THE SOLUTION

Two 50kW DC chargers, owner-operated rather than CPO revenue-share. Time-of-day tariff with idle fees defending margin. The dwell-time uplift compounded into turnover-rent through year two.

"We expected dwell time to rise. We didn't expect the 12-minute uplift on the comparison parade tenants alongside. The chargers paid back twice — once on margin, once on rent."
