I’m an entrepreneur based in LA and recently moved from a house with a Tesla charger to an apartment in WeHo without a charging station.
I’ve realized there’s a large gap for fast charging in the West LA area. There’s only one Supercharger in WeHo (plans to build a second but unclear on timeline).
I’m curious what the viability is to set up a new fast charging station. I’m still in the research phase (talking EV Box to get a better understanding of startup costs etc) but curious if anyone here has first hand experience.
This area is very underserved - many apartments tons of Tesla & EVs.
Give ChargePoint a call. That’s their whole business, helping private businesses/individuals become hosts for charging stations, and then handling the software/billing/services aspect of it for you after the install. Financially there’s no ROI, no fast charging network is profitable. The upfront costs are too great and paid utilization too low.
