Solving EV charging challenges in multifamily buildings

EV charging for multifamily properties comes with a different set of challenges than single-family homes. Shared electrical capacity, shared parking, and growing EV demand can make installation and management difficult without the right system in place.

Limited electrical capacity

Many multifamily buildings don’t have enough electrical capacity to support multiple EV chargers at once. We use dynamic load management to distribute power across chargers, making room for more stations.

Charging downtime and service risk

When chargers go down, property teams are often left dealing with service calls and frustrated residents. Ampaway monitors, maintains, and services the system, so reliability and uptime are handled without adding work for your team.

Scaling as more residents drive EVs

EV adoption continues to grow, and installing just a few chargers today may not be enough tomorrow. Ampaway systems are designed to scale over time, so you can add more chargers as resident demand increases.

Operational Burden on Property Teams

Managing billing, access, maintenance, and resident questions can quickly become a full-time responsibility. Ampaway handles operations, software, and support, so property management teams don’t have to run the system.

Upfront costs and investment concerns

Installing EV charging infrastructure can require significant upfront investment. We help offset this by finding available rebates, incentives, and funding programs to lower initial costs and improve long-term return on investment.

We install and run the system for your multifamily property

Evaluate the property site

We start by reviewing your property, including electrical capacity and parking layout. This helps us decide where chargers should be placed and how the system can grow.

Install and activate the system

Ampaway handles permitted installation, equipment setup, and system activation. Chargers are installed and set up with minimal disruption to residents and property operations.

Operate and scale over time

After installation, we operate and maintain the system, manage the software, and provide support. As EV adoption increases, more chargers can be added over time.

Why choose Ampaway for multifamily EV charging

Adding EV charging solutions for multifamily housing is a long-term decision. Ampaway helps property owners add EV charging in a way that is practical, manageable, and ready for future demand.

Load management without electrical upgrades

Many multifamily buildings don’t have extra electrical capacity available. Ampaway manages how power is shared between chargers to make way for more.

Predictable operating costs

EV charging should not create financial surprises for property owners. Ampaway manages the system, maintenance, and service so operation costs stay stable.

Infrastructure that scales with tenant demand

More residents will switch to EVs over time. Our system makes it easy to add more EV chargers later without starting the process from the beginning.

Code-compliant installation and operation

Electrical work, permits, and inspections can be complicated. Ampaway deals with installation and operation according to local codes and requirements. 

Multifamily properties types we support

Apartment buildings with shared parking

EV charging works well in apartment buildings where residents share parking areas. Ampaway helps install and manage EV charging stations for multifamily buildings without creating extra work for property teams.

HOAs managing resident-owned EVs

HOAs often need a fair and manageable way to provide EV charging for residents. Ampaway handles access, billing, and system management so HOA boards don’t have to run the system themselves.

Mixed-use residential developments

Properties that combine residential and commercial spaces often need flexible multifamily EV charging solutions. Ampaway systems can support both residents and visitors while managing power across the property.

Properties preparing for resale or refinancing

Adding EV charging can increase property value and make buildings more attractive to future buyers and residents. Ampaway helps install a system that supports long-term property planning.

Ampaway operates a unified software system that connects chargers, payments, and monitoring into one managed platform.

1000+ EV Chargers Installed

We are pleased with the decision to install Ampaway EV chargers at our properties. Ampaway has taken care of all the paperwork, installation was seamless and the app UI is very intuitive. The uptake in usage has been very fast, and we see more tenants switching to electric vehicles due to availability of EV charges at the property. Level 2 EV charger availability is a key tenant benefit in the current environment and an important retention tool.

What stood out most about Ampaway was their zero-capital-upfront model. From start to finish, the process has been straightforward. Ampaway handled the engineering, permitting, installation, and ongoing billing — essentially a turnkey experience. Their team has been professional and responsive throughout the process, and I've appreciated that they've approached the relationship as a partnership rather than a transaction. For any property owner looking to add this amenity without tying up capital, I'd definitely recommend having a conversation with them.

Electrifying our fleet was a strategic decision, and choosing the right charging partner was central to it. Ampaway understood the operation before they talked about equipment, and they built for the fleet we're becoming rather than the one we had. A year in, our vehicles are ready when our drivers are and our energy costs are predictable. They've been a partner in the transition rather than a vendor we manage, and we're expanding to a second site this year.

FAQs

Get answers to common questions about charging installation, operation, and support.

What type of EV chargers work best for multifamily properties?

Level 2 chargers are the most common choice for multifamily properties, as they provide a balance between charging speed and cost. Shared charging setups with smart access control are often more efficient than assigning one charger per parking space.

How much does it cost to install EV chargers at a multifamily property?

Costs vary depending on the number of chargers, electrical capacity, and installation complexity. However, with load management and scalable infrastructure, many properties can install chargers without major upgrades, significantly reducing upfront costs.

Can multifamily properties install EV charging without major electrical upgrades?

Yes, in many cases they can. With load management and power-sharing technologies, properties can install multiple chargers while staying within existing electrical capacity, avoiding costly upgrades.

How do property owners recover EV charging costs?

Property owners typically recover costs through resident usage fees, monthly access charges, or premium parking. In many cases, the return also comes from higher occupancy, improved tenant retention, and increased property value.

Are incentives or rebates available for multifamily EV charging?

Yes, many regions offer incentives such as utility rebates, government grants, and tax credits. These programs can significantly reduce upfront costs and improve the overall return on investment.

What is the difference between shared and assigned EV charging?

Shared charging allows multiple residents to use the same chargers in common areas, making it more cost-efficient and scalable. Assigned charging provides a dedicated charger for a specific parking space, offering convenience but requiring more infrastructure and higher investment.

How long does multifamily EV charging installation take?

Installation timelines depend on the scope of the project, but most range from a few weeks for simpler setups to several months for larger or more complex properties.
