Three ways to bring EV charging to your property
Every property is different, and so is every owner's approach to capital. EV Energy Group offers three paths to the same result — reliable, revenue-generating EV charging — so you can choose the one that fits how you want to invest, own, and operate.
CapEx: own your charging investment
Leasing: a path to ownership, with predictable payments
CaaS: fully managed charging, and shared revenue
CapEx: buy your charging infrastructure
Own it outright. Keep everything it earns.
If you have the capital and want maximum long-term return, purchasing your charging equipment outright is the most direct path. EV Energy Group sources, installs, and commissions the hardware — you own it from the moment it’s turned on, and you keep 93% of the charging revenue it generates (less your electricity cost).
What’s included: Hardware, standard installation, and permitting at time of purchase, backed by the manufacturer’s standard warranty.
What’s optional: Extended warranty, ongoing network operations (EVXY), and a maintenance service plan are all available as add-ons if you’d rather not manage software, driver support, or repairs yourself.
The trade-off: You’re responsible for the full upfront cost, and for anything that isn’t covered by an add-on service plan — troubleshooting, part replacement, and driver support all fall to you unless you’ve opted into ongoing support.
Leasing: own eventually, without the upfront cost
All the benefits of ownership, spread over time.
Leasing gives you a path to eventually owning your charging infrastructure without a large capital outlay today. EV Energy Group (through our financing partners) supplies and installs the equipment; you pay a predictable monthly lease payment instead of a lump sum, and you keep 93% of the charging revenue along the way.
What’s included: Hardware, 5-year warranty, and 5-year network operations are bundled into your lease payment. Installation is scoped and quoted based on your site’s specific conditions.
At the end of the term: The equipment is yours outright, free and clear — or you can roll into a new lease with upgraded equipment and start fresh.
The trade-off: Because you own the asset (even if it’s financed), day-to-day maintenance and driver support are your responsibility unless you add an ongoing service agreement — similar to financing a vehicle versus leasing one with a maintenance plan included.
Charging-as-a-Service: fully managed, zero hassle
We own it, run it, and maintain it. You collect 90% of the revenue.
Charging-as-a-Service is the simplest path: one flat monthly subscription per port, and EV Energy Group installs, owns, operates, and maintains everything — including anything your specific site needs. You never touch a service call, a firmware update, or a maintenance bill.
What’s included: Everything — hardware, installation, permitting, 5-year warranty, 5-year network operations, signage, and ongoing maintenance — all for $200 per port, per month.
The trade-off: Because EV Energy Group is carrying all the infrastructure risk and cost, we keep 10% of the charging revenue as the cost of that service. You still keep 90% — with none of the operational burden.
Charging-as-a-Service is available for Level 2 charging only. Each property is evaluated individually, and participation is subject to site qualification, project feasibility.

Business Model FAQs
If the lease payment and the CaaS subscription are close in price, what's actually different?
Ownership and involvement. With Leasing, you own the equipment at the end of the term and keep 93% of the revenue along the way, but you’re the one responsible for anything outside the warranty and network bundle. With CaaS, EV Energy Group owns and manages everything for the life of the contract — including anything your site specifically needs beyond the basics — in exchange for a larger share of the revenue. Similar monthly cost, very different level of hands-on involvement.
Can I get EV Energy Group's network and driver support if I buy or lease my equipment?
Yes. Network operations (EVXY), extended warranty, and maintenance service are available as add-ons for both CapEx and Leasing customers who want the software and support without giving up ownership.
Why is there a revenue share on CapEx and Leasing if I own the equipment?
It’s a smaller share than CaaS — 7% versus 10% — that covers the payment processing and platform costs behind every charging session, regardless of who owns the hardware.
Can I switch between models later?
Yes — for example, a CaaS host can buy out their equipment at the end of the term and move to self-ownership, or a lease can convert to a purchase early. Ask us during your site assessment or at any renewal point.
Do all three options use the same hardware and network?
Yes. Every option uses the same 48-amp Level 2 charging stations on our OCPP-open network — no proprietary lock-in, regardless of which model you choose.
Is DC Fast charging available under any of these models?
These three programs are built around Level 2 charging. If your site has the traffic to support DC Fast charging, ask us during your site assessment.
