EV Charging That Works Day to Day
Jay Jaffa of Poweral
EV chargers only matter if they’re working.
In many properties, chargers go down, connections fail, or systems aren’t maintained. When that happens, tenants stop relying on them — and the value of having charging on-site, drops quickly.
Here is where Poweral can make the difference.
Jay Jaffa and his team work with multifamily buildings, hotels, hospitals, and office properties to install EV chargers — and keep them running. The focus isn’t just adding charging capacity — it’s making it reliable.
“EVs don’t go to gas stations,” Jay said. “They have to charge where they are.”
As more drivers switch to EVs, charging is becoming part of how buildings run day to day — not something tenants or users plan around elsewhere. For property owners weighing the cost, utility and government rebate programs can reduce or eliminate installation expenses — and Poweral handles the application process.
Poweral installs chargers compatible with all vehicle types, from Tesla to non-Tesla models — but installation is only the start.
Once installed, when chargers go offline, Poweral responds within 24 hours. But the more telling detail is what happens when nothing is wrong; the team visits every site on a regular schedule to inspect equipment and catch problems before drivers run into them. In buildings where chargers are used throughout the day, that kind of consistency matters.
In some cases, Poweral isn’t starting from scratch. Older or underperforming chargers get replaced and brought into the same monitored network.
Chargers are listed across major EV apps so drivers can find and plan around them. Property owners share in the charging revenue while Poweral handles installation, monitoring, and day-to-day operation.
That approach is already showing up in real projects. At OJBA, Jay pointed to one relationship that started at last year’s show — a large property owner whose buildings include one right next door to the venue. That connection has turned into work across multiple properties, with a value Jay estimates at a couple hundred thousand dollars over the life of the deal.
“Every year, there’s more value to it,” he said.
