DESCRIPTION:
In this episode, I’m joined by Jeremy Cohen, Director of Real Estate Partnerships at SWTCH Energy, to talk about the challenges and opportunities of deploying EV charging in multifamily and commercial properties. Jeremy explains how SWTCH works with property owners and developers to install charging infrastructure while minimizing costly electrical upgrades. We dive into their smart energy management platform, how load balancing allows more chargers to be installed on existing electrical capacity, and why Level 2 charging is often the best fit for residential environments.
Jeremy also walks through the process of evaluating a property, from site assessments to determining the right mix of chargers and power allocation. We discuss different revenue models available to property owners, including charging by time or energy and even implementing idle fees. The conversation also covers practical challenges like vandalism, uptime monitoring, and ensuring a reliable experience for drivers.
Finally, Jeremy shares his thoughts on how EV infrastructure has evolved over the past decade and why collaboration between property managers, utilities, and cities will be critical as EV adoption accelerates. If you’ve ever wondered how EV charging works for apartments and shared spaces, this episode offers a fascinating look behind the scenes.
