JF 4200: EV Charging as a Multifamily Amenity, Financing Infrastructure and Future-Proofing Assets

John Casmon interviews Ben Kanner, founder of Three V Infrastructure, about the growing intersection between EV charging and multifamily real estate. Ben shares his journey from subprime mortgages to Deutsche Bank portfolio management and eventually into renewable infrastructure, where he identified a major financing gap in EV charging for commercial properties. He explains why EV charging should be viewed primarily as an amenity rather than a direct NOI driver and how operators can use it to attract higher-income renters, increase rents, and reduce turnover. Ben breaks down EV adoption trends, noting that while U.S. penetration still trails global markets, adoption continues to rise—especially with more affordable EV models and a wave of used Teslas entering the market. For multifamily owners, the key isn’t just installation, but proper underwriting based on EV registration data, demographic trends, and projected utilization. Three V Infrastructure offers a no-upfront-cost model where they fund, install, own, and manage the chargers, taking utilization risk and only profit-sharing after recouping their capital and a threshold return. ============================================ Join 50K+ investors reading the Best Ever Newsletter each week: https://bit.ly/3SKhb7K STAY IN TOUCH ➤Newsletter: http://bestevercre.com/newsletter ➤Facebook Group: https://facebook.com/groups/BestEverShow ➤Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/bestevercre ➤Twitter: http://twitter.com/bestevercre ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bestevercre ➤Website: http://bestevercre.com ➤Book: https://amzn.to/3rXBfrA ➤iTunes: https://apple.co/3CxEyLe ➤Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3etJngD ➤Stitcher: https://bit.ly/3T8MAkD
