Can operating electric vehicle charging stations make money?

I am an operator of electric scooter charging stations myself. I have been operating for almost two years since 2018, using a decentralized charging station from my city of Xiamen, Mofang. There aren't many troubles, but there are always some difficulties in doing business. Otherwise, it wouldn't be our turn to do it. With resources, we have basically solved the problem. The rest is to negotiate with the property management about the fees. One is the electricity bill, and the other is the setting of charging time, both of which need to be within a reasonable range to ensure that users can use them without any objections. We also have a certain proportion of profit margin.

In general, you can calculate that charging an electric vehicle consumes 0.2 kWh per hour without losing money.

For example, if the property provides you with 1 yuan per kilowatt hour of electricity, and the electric vehicle charging station is set to charge 1 yuan for 4 hours, it consumes 0.8 kWh of electricity in 4 hours, which means the electricity cost is 80 cents. The profit is 1 yuan minus 80 cents, and there is still a profit of 20 cents. The 5 devices I purchased have an installation cost of less than 1000 yuan, which can charge 10 electric vehicles. Charging once a day, the net profit from 5 charging stations is 2 yuan per day, which is 730 yuan per year; If calculated based on 1 yuan for 3 hours, the annual income is 1460 yuan. For electricity costs like this, it usually takes no more than 3 hours to recoup in about a year.

Generally, when you make charging piles for us, you won't only install 5 units. It's not a big problem to gradually release 500 units in a cycle of one year. If you produce 500 units, the annual revenue is 146000 yuan. After deducting the 6000 yuan maintenance fee (if any), the annual revenue can be 140000 yuan.

Nowadays, electric scooters have become popular in thousands of households, and electric scooter charging stations are one of the essential infrastructure in every community. Putting electric scooter charging stations into operation is like establishing a water pipeline. Once the pipeline is built, it can earn income after sleep and increase the family's living security
