As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, multi-family buildings and apartment complexes face growing demand for on-site charging. However, installing chargers is only the first step. Property managers and HOAs must answer critical operational questions: Who can use the chargers? How do we split the electricity costs fairly? How do we prevent unauthorized usage?
The Challenge of Shared Infrastructure
Without proper tracking, shared charging stations often lead to disputes. Some residents may use more than their fair share, while others foot the utility bill. Traditional solutions rely on expensive, closed charging marketplaces that take a massive cut of every transaction. This drives up costs for residents and delays ROI for property owners.
A Smarter Way to Track and Settle
By implementing a peer-to-peer tracking and access system, properties can cut out the middleman. With Gundro, site owners can approve building residents, track exact energy delivery (kWh) per session, and automatically generate clean monthly reimbursement reports. This ensures that only authorized tenants plug in, and they pay exactly for the electricity they consume—directly to the property utility account with zero transaction fees.
Proven ROI for HOAs
By removing marketplace surcharges, residents pay less per charge while properties recover 100% of utility expenses. A typical 10-unit building sharing 2 chargers can achieve full payback on installation costs 40% faster simply by eliminating platform commission fees.
