Find out how much you can earn by renting electric chargers
The type of charger must be chosen taking into account the typical use case you expect.
For example, in hotels and accommodation it is expected that drivers will have 6 or 8 hours to charge the car all night, so a charger with lower power will be the best option.
On the other hand, in commercial spaces a fast charger is more recommended as users are expected to be there for only 2 or 3 hours.
The cost of electricity has a direct impact on the profitability of your rental.
The cost of electricity may vary depending on the type of consumer (private, commercial, industrial), the size of the customer, the type of contract, the contracted power, the time of year, etc. As an indication, the average cost of electricity in the US in 2024 is around 0.16 USD per kWh.

With Killswitch, you set your selling price per hour.
Defining your sales price can be done in several ways - for example, based on the cost price of energy plus a margin, or on the sales price charged by other competitors.
As an indication, the selling price per kWw charged at public charging stations - considering the cost of energy and use of the station, etc. - varies between 0.50 and 0.65 USD per kWh.
Considering an equivalent sales price of EUR 0.55 per kWh, your rental price per hour should be $3.85 / hour for a 7 kW charger; $6.05 / hour for an 11 kW charger and $12.10 / hour for a 22 kW charger.

The average number of hours per rental will depend on the typical use case in your operation and the power of the charger.
For example, in hotels, accommodation or office parks an average rental period of 6 to 8 hours is expected, while in a commercial space the average rental duration should be around 2 or 3 hours.

The frequency of charging sessions may depend on a number of factors. However, it is certain that with the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, the number of charges will only tend to grow.
