EV Chargers for Car Parks

Car-park EV charging revenue estimator

Rough out what an owner-operated charging scheme could earn on your car park — bays, charger type, utilisation and tariff to an indicative annual margin and simple payback. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere, and there's no form to fill first.

INDICATIVE REVENUE ESTIMATOR

Rough out what owner-operated charging could earn

A back-of-envelope model for the owner-operated route — you own the chargers and keep the margin. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere. Treat every figure as indicative: real numbers come from a site survey.

Indicative energy delivered — kWh / year
Indicative gross margin — per year, before O&M (retail − energy cost)
Indicative simple payback — after a ~45% deduction for O&M, standing & back-office

Rough model only. It derates AC power to what cars actually accept, then deducts ~45% for maintenance, standing charges, payment and back-office fees to estimate payback — but still excludes grid-connection upgrades and any grant or 100% first-year tax relief. On a fully-funded deal you’d instead take a share of this revenue at £0 capital. Real utilisation is location-driven; a site survey is the only way to firm up the number.

How to read the number

The estimator multiplies charger power by hours in the year, your utilisation and the number of bays to get indicative energy delivered, then applies the margin between the retail price and your energy cost. It deliberately excludes grid-connection upgrades, ongoing maintenance, back-office fees and any grant or 100% first-year tax relief — all of which move the real figure. Utilisation is the sensitive input: UK chargers average around two hours' use a day, and roughly 15% is break-even while 30-35% is clearly profitable.

On a fully-funded deal you wouldn't bear the capex at all — you'd take a share of this revenue instead. Which route wins depends on your site, and a proper feasibility (with a real utilisation read and a grid check) is the only way to firm up the number.
