Fast Charging Stations:

Fast charging stations for electric vehicles are an essential solution for electric vehicle drivers, allowing the battery to be charged relatively quickly. While regular/home charging stations may take several hours, fast charging stations for electric vehicles can complete the process in just 20-40 minutes. This technology makes charging stations especially attractive for drivers looking for efficient and fast solutions. A lack of energy and electricity in private homes and workplaces requires drivers to charge in public places.


Cost of kilowatt consumption at public stations:

At fast charging stations, the turnover is high, and therefore the rate of income from electricity sales generates significant revenue for the station owner. The station owner determines the charging cost they want to price for all customers. As of 2024, the cost of electricity paid by the station owner to the Israel Electric Corporation is 0.6 NIS per kilowatt.

At a fast DC station, the collection price paid by drivers per kilowatt is always more expensive compared to a home station. For example, 2-2.5  NIS per kilowatt at a fast DC station, compared to 0.6 to 1.5 NIS per kilowatt at a slow/home AC station.

 

How to generate passive income from a charging station?

 

One of the biggest advantages of charging stations is their potential to generate passive income. After the initial investment in installation, the station can continue to generate revenue without significant maintenance. To maximize passive income, it is important to choose a strategic location where there is high demand for charging stations, such as commercial centers, large parking lots, or central intersections.

Essential locations for installing public charging stations

Shopping centers and entertainment complexes

Shopping centers and entertainment complexes are among the ideal locations for installing public charging stations. Customers who spend hours shopping or socializing can use the time to charge their vehicles, which increases satisfaction and encourages a longer stay. Installing charging stations can attract a new audience of electric vehicle drivers, thereby increasing the venue's revenue.

Public parking lots and train stations

Public parking lots, especially those adjacent to train stations, entertainment centers, commercial areas, football stadiums, etc., are strategic points for installing charging stations. Many drivers leave their vehicles in the parking lot for long hours, which makes the location convenient for charging. Installing charging stations in parking lots can also reduce environmental pollution, as it encourages the use of electric vehicles instead of internal combustion engine vehicles.

Hotels and guesthouses

Hotel and guesthouse owners can make their guests' stay more comfortable by installing charging stations. Guests arriving with an electric vehicle will be able to charge it overnight, ensuring a smooth ride the next day. This service can serve as a unique selling point and help attract additional guests.

Employment areas/workplaces and office buildings

Employment areas and offices are other places where installing charging stations can be highly valuable. Employees who arrive with an electric vehicle can charge it during the workday, which reduces range anxiety and encourages the use of electric vehicles. In addition, installing charging stations can improve the company's green image and attract quality employees. The supply of electric vehicles in companies is growing daily due to lower electricity costs compared to fuel. A great solution for all employees and cost savings provides legitimacy to the company itself for charging stations it owns, both for personal and economic needs.
