Electromobility in retail: turning a car park into a revenue-generating service
Article contents
Customers already spend time in your car park. Charging lets them replenish energy while shopping and allows you to add a service without building a separate charging business.
Choose charging power based on visit length
AC charging may be sufficient for regular longer parking. If customers stay briefly and need to replenish energy faster, consider DC. Available capacity, the mix of vehicles and investment also matter, alongside the station's maximum power.
Set simple rules
- Free charging as a customer service or charging at your own price.
- Benefits for a selected group using a supported identification method.
- Time conditions to keep spaces available for other customers.
- Clear signage and instructions for starting charging.
Operation under your control
MyAgeVolt gives you an overview of stations, charging sessions and billing information. Energy management can adjust charging to the site's consumption. Integration with a loyalty or parking system is designed around its interfaces.
Calculate returns using realistic usage
Revenue depends on usage, price, parking time and electricity and operating costs. A calculator helps compare scenarios, but the result is not a guaranteed return.
