Electrify with confidence

Most property managers want one thing from EV charging: for it not to land on their desk. That's achievable, but only if the hardware, the billing platform, and the tariff are all chosen up front. We created The Property Manager's Guide to EV Charger Payments to set out how shared-parking billing actually works, and how to design it so nobody has to run it.

This isn't theory. The guide comes from conversations with managing agents living with setups that work, and with setups that quietly turned them into the block's utility provider.

What's inside the guide?

  • Why residential home chargers cannot simply be installed in an apartment block, and how early adopters can lock everyone else out
  • How EV charging as a service works in shared parking, and the three roles that keep it running
  • How billing should be designed differently for new-builds and for retrofits
  • Tariff options that make charging affordable for residents, including communal EV tariffs and why a markup cap matters
  • What residents see when they plug in, and the friction points that generate complaints
  • What to look for in a billing solution, from MID-certified metering to five-year total cost of ownership

How will it help property managers?

Get those three decisions right and the system can run itself for years. Get one wrong and the admin comes back every month. This guide helps:

  • Cut your involvement to a typical handful of resident activations a year
  • Set a resident rate you can show is fair when a leaseholder asks
  • Stay free to change billing platform later, rather than being locked to one for the life of the chargers
  • Compare suppliers on their real five-year cost rather than the brochure price
