One asset, three value streams.
Charging pays in three places, and only one of them is the meter: incremental revenue from the session and from what the visit is worth inside, property value because that income capitalizes at appraisal like any other NOI, and attraction — drivers filter for charging before they choose where to stop, shop or stay. Which of the three leads depends on your property. Most properties get some of each — what changes by lane is which one pays the bill, and which one shows up later.
Fast charging · metered income
$3,000–7,000 / mo charging NOI
On sites that score well — recurring income from parking you already own, on a customer base that grows every year. The income is NOI, and NOI capitalizes into asset value at appraisal.

Level 2 · value beyond the meter
More room-nights, fewer turnovers
For hotels, EV guests filter for charging when they book; you win and keep those nights, and they charge while they stay. For apartments, charging is a filter renters use — it supports lease-up, a rent premium, and retention, and each turnover avoided is thousands kept.

Asset value · what shows up later
~$515K–1.2M appraised value, at a 7% cap rate
Both lanes beside this one end up here: charging income is NOI like any other, so
it capitalizes at appraisal whether or not you ever sell. Power already in the ground
reads as a modern property to a buyer, a lender and a tenant too — and it is
the expensive half of ever doing this again.

Fast-charging figures are calibrated against real operating stations; your address's own come from the free evaluation and your actual utility tariff. Level 2 is a directional value framework, not a metered underwrite.
