Multi-Family Properties

Installing charging equipment at a multi-family property is a collaborative process between the Home Owners Association/ Property Manager, tenants, and Austin Energy.  Currently, plans are underway to provide a rebate to assist with installation.

Benefits to Multi-Family Properties

• Power up with GreenChoice®-All stations are powered by renewable energy; a great amenity for your employees, customers or tenants.

Steps to Get Ready
Follow the steps below to plan how your property can get ready for plug-in electric vehicles.

1. Poll your residents. Evaluate the interest level within your multi-family community. Questions to ask include “Who already owns a PEV?” and “When might a tenant buy one?”
   
2. Contact Austin Energy. Email us your request and we will help get you on your way to understanding electric vehicles, their charging technology and the costs involved. We can also guide you through charging business models and help you find a licensed and experienced contractor.
3. Understand Restrictions. Review the codes, covenants, and restrictions to make sure your property allows PEV charging equipment.
   
4. Join our network. Become a part of Austin Energy’s Plug-In EVerywhere™ network and your station will be connected to our network of over 100 stations at more than 50 locations.
