Study of multifamily property owners shows 8% of MDU owners/operators currently have EV chargers installed in their largest property
DALLAS, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — According to Parks Associates’ new research study, 8% of MDU owners/operators report having EV chargers installed in the largest property in their portfolio. Nearly one-third (32%) plan on deploying, upgrading, or replacing EV charging stations within the next 12 months. The research firm will highlight this research and more at its upcoming Smart Spaces: Apartments, Hospitality, and Community Living in Dallas, September 24-25 at the Renaissance Dallas Richardson Hotel.
The EV charging market is still in its early stages but expanding, driven by the challenges of retrofitting existing properties and the significant investments needed. Many buildings lack the necessary infrastructure, but as demand continues to rise, EV charging will become a key differentiator for multifamily properties.
Smart Spaces hosts building executives and hardware, middleware, and software providers enabling the next generation of tech solutions in multidwelling and hospitality environments. This research-focused event explores deployment and support strategies that ensure ROI while delivering quality experiences for both the end users and property managers. Event sponsors include ADT Multifamily; Cox Communities; Nice; VANTIVA; Xfinity Communities; Kwikset; Calix; Homebase, a Quext Company; SkyBell; DojoNetworks; WireStar Networks; Zentra Access; and Salto.

“Reliable connectivity is vital for EV charging, and having EV chargers is a major differentiator for properties,” said Daniel Holcomb, Sr. Analyst, Parks Associates. “EV charging in multifamily housing serves as a catalyst for the broader deployment of virtual power plants (VPPs) and energy storage solutions. As more residents adopt electric vehicles, the need for smart energy management grows, turning multifamily properties into critical hubs for energy distribution and storage.”
