HOW EV CHARGING CAN INCREASE FOOT TRAFFIC FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Imagine a local café offering EV charging through a Rise Energy solution. While customers stop
in their vehicles, they naturally spend more time in store ordering extra coffee, enjoying a
meal, or browsing retail offerings.
EV charging isn’t just a perk: it’s a growing demand in local communities that gives businesses
a location advantage. With Rise Energy, this opportunity becomes a reality. We partner with
businesses to design and deliver charging solutions that attract new customers, increase dwell
time, and grow revenue.

TURN EVERY CHARGING SESSION INTO
A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.
On average, EV drivers spend 20–40 minutes on site while charging time spent shopping,
dining,
or using services.
EV charging stations attract EV drivers who often choose where to shop, dine, or exercise based on charging availability. Customers typically spend 20-40 minutes on site while charging , which means more time and more money in your business.
Cafes, gyms, hotels, retail stores, and service stations are ideal locations. Any business with parking can turn EV charging into a
revenue opportunity and customer magnet.
Revenue depends on factors like charging fees, foot traffic, and customer dwell time. Many businesses combine
direct revenue (charging fees) with indirect revenue (increased sales) from EV drivers spending more time on site.
In most cases, commercial EV chargers only require standard electrical compliance. Our team manages the entire process,
including any council approvals if required.
