Socket Based EV Chargers for Multi-Dwelling Units – MDUs: Benefits and Business Models
Owners and operators of multi-dwelling units face growing pressure to provide EV charging that is affordable, flexible, and easy to manage—but traditional corded chargers often fall short. A surprising benefit of plug-in chargers is that they are 30–40% smaller than wall-mounted cabled units, making installation simpler and more acceptable to landlords and property managers. This podcast will explore key challenges—such as high upfront costs, limited electrical capacity, and the incompatibility of corded chargers with multiple EV connector types—that make charger selection so difficult for apartment and condo communities. Join us to learn how Socket Based EV chargers can deliver universal compatibility, lower costs, and easier load management, helping multi-dwelling units meet resident demand while preparing for the future of mobility.
