Refuel Electric Vehicle Solutions
Multi-family owners are going to observe a significant change at their properties over the next few years as more and more of their residents will be driving electric vehicles. Refuel Electric Vehicle Solutions (or REVS), a Houstonbased electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) startup founded by commercial real estate veteran, David Aaronson, offers turn-key solutions for deploying EV charging stations on multi-family properties.
Some of the primary services in REVS turn-key solution include: • Electrical capacity analysis of property to determine infrastructure necessary for EVCS deployment • Research and application management of grants & financial incentives to reduce costs • Coordinate & work with electrician and property management to install the station(s) • Post-installation management of the stations, including data collection & reporting requirements With the increasing adoption of consumer electric vehicles comes a centurial opportunity to generate a new stream of income for owners of commercial real estate portfolios. Charging stations generate revenue by reselling electricity to the user as well as generate additional income by reselling carbon credits in certain areas of the country. REVS’ data implies that EV charging stations can generate an accretive return by servicing only 4 electric vehicles (subject to the make-ready expenses of providing, or upgrading, the existing electrical infrastructure to supply electricity to the charging station). In addition, one dual station can serve up to 20 residents who own electric vehicles.
REVS currently offers 3 options to owners who want to deploy and/or host EV charging stations on their property: • REVS will sell, install, and manage the station(s) • REVS will own the station(s), many times at no expense to the owner, and provide a share of revenue to the property owner • REVS will lease equipment and install and manage the station(s) REVS mission is to work with property owners to develop this new income stream by effectively installing EV Charging Stations (i.e.“modern” gas stations) on existing properties.
