The Shift to Electric Vehicles Creates New Revenue Opportunities for Property Owners
Most people already understand that parking and EV charging go hand in hand. Unlike combustion-engine cars, electric vehicles can “refuel” while they’re not in use — typically at home or at work. Leveraging idle time for charging is a brilliant strategy from a system-wide perspective: charging can happen at lower power levels, allowing the available electrical capacity to be shared efficiently across many users instead of prioritizing high-power charging for only a few.
This shift opens the door to an entirely new business model where traditional parking evolves — and property owners become the new charging providers. Parking spaces are the strategic asset that makes this possible, and property owners already have them.
“For property owners, this is a major opportunity to drive societal benefit while increasing net operating income.”
EV adoption is accelerating — and demand for charging points is skyrocketing
The number of electric vehicles in Sweden is rising rapidly (half of all new cars registered in 2022 were rechargeable), and demand for charging points is already high. As more drivers expect seamless charging where they park, demand will surge even further.
This creates a massive opportunity for property owners:
- Install EV chargers on existing parking spaces
- Include charging as part of the subscription parking agreement
- Invoice both parking and charging in one unified bill, based on actual consumption
For drivers, this means one contract, one bill, one app — simple and intuitive.
The biggest barrier today: lack of digital infrastructure
Many property owners still lack the technical capability to offer EV charging because their parking operations are not digitally managed. Without a structured system, it becomes impossible to:
- Track chargers
- Manage access
- Connect billing
- Offer consumption-based charging
- Provide a seamless user experience
The first step for any property owner who wants to leverage EV charging as a revenue stream is therefore clear: Digitize all parking processes.
With digital parking management, property owners gain control over:
- All parking spaces
- All EV charging points
- Digital contracts and automated onboarding
- Unified invoicing for all mobility services
- A user-friendly app for tenants and parkers
From static parking to a future-proof mobility hub
Once digitalized, parking facilities can evolve into full-scale mobility hubs offering:
- EV charging integrated with the parking contract
- Car-sharing services
- Micro-mobility (e-bikes, scooters)
- Smart access and automation
- Delivery and pick-up points
This transition boosts revenue, increases asset utilization, and enhances the tenant experience — all while contributing to societal goals like reduced emissions and expanded charging infrastructure.
EV charging is not just a service — it’s a strategic business opportunity.
