Welcome back to Peak Property Performance! In today’s episode, co-hosts Drew Hall and Bill Douglas sit down with David Aaronson, the founder of Refuel Electric Vehicle Solutions (REVS), to dive into one of the biggest shifts happening in multifamily real estate: the rise of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. With society quickly transitioning towards EVs, David Aaronson shares why apartment owners need to take EV charging seriously, not just as an amenity, but as a strategic move for attracting and retaining tenants.
Together, the trio explores the practical realities of installing EV stations, whether via retrofits or new builds, and breaks down the financial models owners are considering. They talk candidly about the challenges, the evolving data landscape, and the emerging benefits, including how charging stations can impact occupancy rates and future-proof properties. From operational headaches to the promise of grants and incentives, this episode is a masterclass for real estate professionals considering how to turn what many see as a cost center into a competitive advantage.
Plus, stay tuned for the “Extra Floor,” where David Aaronson shares a bit about his life, leadership lessons, and favorite ways to recharge outside of work.
