299: Accelerating Access to EV Charging for Real Estate Portfolio Owners with Benjamin Kanner

In this episode, Benjamin Kanner breaks down why EV charging has become a must-have amenity for multifamily properties. As EV adoption continues to rise, renters increasingly expect the ability to charge at home, driving demand, higher rent potential, and competitive differentiation for property owners. What once felt optional is quickly becoming essential infrastructure.

Benjamin also explains how EV charging delivers financial upside without burdening property owners. With reimbursement beginning on day one, the installation becomes a revenue opportunity rather than an expense. He shares real examples of owners who lost significant money by offering free charging and how shifting to a paid model ultimately aligned both tenant expectations and operational sustainability.

In this episode, you will hear:

Why EV adoption is reshaping renter expectations
How multifamily properties benefit financially from offering charging
Why home charging is becoming the new fueling norm
How reimbursement from day one reduces owner risk
Why free charging models are no longer sustainable
