Charge-Zero is a specialty finance and EV charging systems integration company. We are the first company that offers the entire range of services necessary to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain a portfolio of EV chargers and solar microgrids.
EV Charging presents several challenges to station hosts
Demand for investment from already stretched budgets
Increased electricity bills
Ongoing maintenance
Charger up-time
Inadequate grid infrastructure to accommodate increased demand
Grid upgrade charges
Demand surge risk
The solution we offer - bundled project management and specialty finance - addresses each of these challenges.
Incentives
There are many incentives available to help finance tomorrow’s electrical infrastructure. Unfortunately, most are tax credits and deductions that require low-carbon approaches to EV charging. We offer specialty financing solutions, including “tax equity finance,” combined with low-carbon approaches to enable organizations to ‘clip all coupons’ offered for building clean energy infrastructure.
EV Charging DEMAND
America now has over 1.6 million electric vehicles
EV percent of total new car sales in the US forecast at 50% by 2030
Public charging station buildout has seriously lagged EV adoption. There are only about 48,000 public chargers in the US, most being level 2 (charge 5+ hours to “fill-up” speed). This is about 40 cars per charger
Our Value Proposition
We strongly believe that EV charging infrastructure should rely on clean energy; otherwise the transition to electric vehicles is largely pointless. Therefore we help organizations be fully incentivized to build their EV charging infrastructure powered by on-site generated solar energy.
