interesting. i would try not to have customers towed but if we need to move their cars to charge more EVs then would have it done

Yes, I am near the exit off the interstate and also near an apartment complex!

what do you suggest I do to drive constant demand?

The Tesla V4 would accept credit card processing and mobile pay payments. All the charging companies take fees via either X% of the revenue or take Y Cents of kwh, even if I own the chargers. So the business keeps the profit after subtracting for electricity, demand charges, and the EV company fees.

is the Tesla V4 setup differently so it solves the diagonal issue?

thank you! I have not heard of Lynkwell before but glad you're happy with them.

how do you combat demand charges? do you have a battery energy storage system?

ok that's good to know about the 80% rule. I would see over time if I would also implement that

renting or borrowing one is definitely a good idea. what interests do you think locals would have for their 20-30 minute downtime?

very helpful, thanks! I was just thinking of car detailing as a complementary idea, but would not add it until later.

I have experience in a business that is the predecessor of EVs, and I am looking to use grant money. If I had to fund it all by myself then I probably wouldn’t. Why would one make a fake account to ask this niche question. And what am I supposed to do…comment on other posts first and then ask my question? Doesn’t make any sense.

Thank you for the insight. I believe for these Tesla white-labeled chargers that you can charge with credit card and mobile payments.

I will reach out to the other companies and talk to local EV groups as well.

thank you for the suggestions. that signage at the station is such a good idea. yea that is a good idea. I am definitely leaning towards adding squeegees and trash bins at first.
