Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) is a new, low-risk, cost-effective business model that provides EV owners with a more reliable charging network and reduces their range anxiety. The lack of EV charging infrastructure also presents a growth opportunity for the charging-as-a-service market. The Emergency mobile EV charging system is a specialized device for this purpose. Today we will discuss how it will save your business money.
Lower initial costs
The hardware costs for public DC electric vehicle charging stations range from $40,000 to $100,000 per charging station. In addition to the high hardware costs, installation can also be costly given the frequent need to install 480V transformers, upgrade power supplies, and the required permits and added labor hours for the project. You can avoid these costs by choosing an Emergency mobile EV charging system.
Save maintenance costs
EV charging stations typically require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and safety. Maintenance tasks may include cleaning and inspection of the charging equipment, software updates, and replacement of worn parts.
The frequency and cost of maintenance will depend on the type of charging station and usage level, as well as the manufacturer’s recommendations. On average, a Level 2 charging station (220V) may require maintenance once or twice a year, costing between $100 to $500 per visit. Fast charging stations, which are more complex and used more frequently, may require more frequent maintenance and higher costs.
The Emergency mobile EV charging system is installed on the minivan to avoid the complicated environment. It is less difficult to maintain than fixed charging facilities, so the cost is significantly reduced.
Staggered electricity consumption to reduce operating costs
The Emergency mobile EV charging system has an energy storage system, so it can replenish its power during off-peak hours when electricity is cheap. This can significantly reduce operating costs and provide an advantage in service pricing.
EV Charging as a Service business model for providers
The basic EV Charging as a Service business for a provider and the source of revenue is the subscription fee he will receive from EV CaaS users. The entire investment in the project and the estimated running costs are calculated against the duration of the contract and divided into monthly or annual fees. He receives regular payments, and if his calculations are correct, he will generate a profit. This model is most common in EV Fleet Charging as a Service. It is used primarily when a company uses charging stations for its own needs.
Many companies have considered offering electric vehicle charging services to their customers to ensure their business is future-proof. But especially for smaller companies, the extensive list of tasks and responsibilities can be intimidating, along with many electric vehicle owners with range anxiety. These bode well for the potential market for EV Charging as a Service, and what if you could become a service provider right away? With SETEC POWER’s solution, you can do it.
