Yes. A publicly accessible fast charger at a well-reachable location - at a gas station, retail park or hospitality establishment - can be a serious revenue model. You set the rate yourself, EV drivers find your location via the Powerland app and charging passes, and you monitor revenues via the management platform. Powerland calculates the expected ROI based on your location profile and traffic intensity.

This depends on how long vehicles stop at your site and how many need to charge simultaneously. For a retail parking with shorter stops, 50 to 150 kW is often sufficient. For logistics depots or public charging plazas with high rotation, capacities of 150 to 400 kW are common. Powerland determines the right capacity based on your vehicle profile, stop times and grid capacity.

Not necessarily. Whether you need to upgrade your electricity connection depends on your current connection value (single-phase or three-phase), the desired charging capacity and how many other consumers are running simultaneously. In many cases an upgrade is not needed at all: with dynamic load balancing the charging station automatically adjusts the power based on available capacity, so your fuse box never gets overloaded. Combine charging infrastructure with battery storage or solar panels and the available capacity is used even smarter. Powerland first examines your electrical installation for every project - at home or at work - and only then advises whether an upgrade is necessary.
