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.

Electrifying fleets in the United States can be complicated and costly, creating hesitation for many public and private operators. Yet, the payoff can be remarkable—medium- and heavy-duty EVs deliver around 40% lower maintenance costs compared to their diesel counterparts. Still, the road to electrification is full of obstacles: internal maintenance teams often lack EV-specific skills, charging infrastructure projects can take 12–24 months to complete, and a patchwork of state and municipal regulations creates operational headaches.
