Qualification

Do you qualify to host a ~360 kW-class charging site?

Three non-negotiables we use before we spend your afternoon on engineering and title.

EV at a fast charging location

Lead volume is easy; qualified lead volume is what closes. We built this short lens so California property stakeholders can self-select: either you are a natural fit for a high-power, land-lease-backed host site—or you are better served by a different provider or product.

1. Land owner authority (about a 10-year land lease)

We are not asking who runs the cash register. We are asking who can grant use of the ground for a long horizon. If you are a tenant or franchisee, your fastest path is to bring the land owner (or their authorized leasing agent) into the first conversation—not after weeks of internal excitement.

2. High-power DC fast—not "Level 2 only"

Our deployments are in the high-power DC fast category—think on the order of a ~360 kW class site, not a small garage retrofit with 6–19 kW stalls for overnight resident charging. If your RFP is strictly Level 2 for a small multifamily building, you should shortlist multifamily EV specialists and your utility program—not a DC fast land host program.

3. Commercial-scale real estate

Strong fits usually look like retail pads, restaurant lots with dedicated parking fields, hotels, shopping centers, and travel-corridor parcels where throughput and visibility matter. Our standard scope includes a minimum of four DC fast dispensers per qualifying project, so the lot should support multi-stall layout and circulation—not a single-stall pilot. That does not mean every site works—utility and civil still decide—but it frames the kind of dirt we are built for.

Use the interactive checklist

We turned these ideas into explicit checkboxes so you can get a clear green, yellow, or red read before you ever open the application.

Final approval always depends on engineering, utilities, title, and underwriting. This article is plain-English screening, not a legal offer.
