How to estimate revenue from your EV chargers
- Select ‘Choose AmpUp Plan’ in the top right corner to determine which SaaS plan you will be using at your site.
Most customers choose AmpUp Core, as it provides them the revenue collection and user access management features they require. - Choose the charger kW output. Most customers purchase a Level 2 charger for their workplace, multi-unit dwelling, hotel, community, or other commercial property.
Level 2 chargers for these commercial applications typically output 11.5kW and can charge a vehicle in 6 to 8 hours. - Select the average electric rate per kWh that your property pays the utility by moving the sliding bar.
- Select the desired price you would charge EV drivers to use your stations, either by $ per kWh OR by $ per hour, by moving the the appropriate sliding bar.
- Estimate how many hours the charger will be used per day by moving the sliding bar under ‘Estimated Utilization’.
Note: Utilization can vary due to many factors such as public availability of the charger and the number of tenants driving EVs. - Enter the total number of ports measured by the number of charging cables to be installed at your site in the bottom left corner.
Example: Four dual-port charging stations = 8 ports
