What are the benefits of multifamily property chargers?

The number of EV owners is growing, and more existing and prospective tenants are expected to start requesting EV charging as an amenity. Potomac Edison’s rebates help offset the cost of this investment to provide charging benefits to multifamily residents. Home charging currently makes up 75% of all EV charging, so multifamily property managers and owners are influential in increasing EV adoption.

Are these charging stations energy efficient?
