Intelligent charging infrastructure for any building or garage:
the carefree solution from ENIO
Electric mobility is booming, yet many property owners, property managers and owners' associations face the same question: how can efficient and profitable charging infrastructure be provided in a garage without extra administrative work or monthly fees for the tenants?
ENIO offers a solution aimed at exactly these problems.
The usual problems with charging infrastructure in garages
- A great deal of administration: property owners and property managers do not want to deal with billing or with managing charge points — particularly when there is no direct financial benefit for the manager.
- High investment cost: individual tenants or owners often cannot carry the cost of the installation.
- Complicated contracts: drawing up individual agreements with tenants or owners takes time and invites mistakes.
- Unpaid bills: when individual users do not pay, the administrative effort rises sharply.
- Limited electrical capacity: the existing supply is often not enough to serve every parking space with adequate power.
The smart solution from ENIO
Together with installation partners, ENIO has developed a complete solution that makes running charging infrastructure in a garage simple and economically sound:
- Turnkey installation: an ENIO partner installs the charging infrastructure — cabling, cable routing, building work and all — while ENIO takes over the day-to-day operation.
- Cost carried by the owner or the owners' association: the investment is carried by the owner or the association and is refinanced through the sale of electricity.
- Automated billing: no individual contracts with tenants or owners are needed — every payment is made simply at a debit or credit card terminal by the garage entrance, for instance at each stairwell where the garage can be left.
- High charging power with intelligent load management: every space gets the highest power possible at that moment (up to 22 kW), so the available electricity is used efficiently. Hyperchargers can be included as well where a particular case calls for it.
- Transparent billing: owners' associations get a clear cost structure, while building owners can earn an additional return on their property.
- Pricing: the association or the building owner sets the selling price per kWh — and the owner of the metering point can change that price at any time.
Here is an example of what such a solution can look like in a garage:
What makes this solution different
Because charging sessions are paid for exclusively at the central ENIO card terminal by the garage entrance, no individual contracts with tenants or apartment owners are needed.
- The property manager therefore has no work to do
- An owners' association gets completely transparent billing
- In a rented building the owner earns an additional return on the property
- Thanks to the integrated load management, every car always gets the highest charging power possible, up to 22 kW
A model that pays
An example project shows what the solution is worth:
- A garage with 40 spaces and one entrance
- Installation cost: around EUR 115,000, complete with supply line, load management, Payment Station, wallboxes, installation and acceptance
- Cost of electricity per kWh: EUR 0.21
- Selling price per kWh: EUR 0.40
- Electricity sold per month and charge point: 400 kWh
- Estimated gross return per year: around EUR 30,000
- Payback period: around 4.5 years
Once the investment has paid for itself, the association can lower the price per kWh — or the owner can keep earning a return of that size.
