As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates, multifamily housing communities face growing pressure to provide residents with convenient, reliable charging infrastructure. In this month’s customer spotlight, we highlight how autel ev charger is helping apartment complexes across the country meet this challenge with cutting-edge EV charging solutions tailored for multi-unit dwellings.

• Limited parking spaces
  
• Shared electrical infrastructure
  
• Budget constraints
  
• Complex billing and access management

Real-World Success: Autel at Lakeside Heights Apartments

Lakeside Heights Apartments, a 200-unit complex in Austin, Texas, recently installed eight Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallboxes. Before installation, the management team was concerned about both energy consumption and tenant billing.

After consulting with Autel’s deployment team, Lakeside Heights opted for a dynamic load balancing solution, enabling the chargers to operate efficiently without overloading the property’s electrical system. Using Autel’s cloud-based management platform, the property manager can now:

• Monitor energy usage in real time
  
• Manage user access for residents
  
• Generate usage reports and billing summaries
  

The result? Increased tenant satisfaction, improved property value, and enhanced sustainability metrics. Several residents have already listed the availability of EV chargers as a deciding factor in renewing their leases.

Sustainability Meets Modern Living

Installing EV charging infrastructure isn’t just a perk—it’s becoming an expectation. According to a recent report from the National Multifamily Housing Council, over 70% of renters say EV charging availability influences their housing decisions. By investing in Autel’s smart charging solutions, apartment complexes can future-proof their properties while supporting green transportation goals.

Moreover, many cities and states now offer grants and incentives to support EV charger installations in multifamily units. Autel partners with property owners to navigate rebate applications and ensure projects are both cost-effective and compliant with local regulations.
