JOLT Ignites Economic Growth for Commercial Landowners, Tenants and Local Businesses

Published on

As a private landowner, your property is your most valuable asset. But what if you could turn it into an even bigger economic engine? By partnering with JOLT to host free, fast, and clean EV charging stations, you can increase foot traffic, attract high-quality tenants, and boost your property value—all while positioning yourself at the forefront of the green revolution.

And the best part? JOLT covers the cost of all equipment, installation and ongoing maintenance. You gain premium EV charging infrastructure with zero investment required—instantly enhancing your property’s value and driving growth without the financial burden. Let’s explore how JOLT’s charging stations can ignite economic growth for your tenants and property.

1. Free Charge and Dwell Time: Keep Visitors on Your Property Longer

JOLT’s free charging service offers EV drivers 45-50 km of daily range at no cost, making your property a highly attractive and convenient destination. With an average dwell time of 34 minutes, drivers optimise their visit by spending time and money with nearby shops and businesses before getting back on the road.

JOLT’s Level 3 DC fast chargers deliver an efficient charge that benefits both drivers and property owners. They allow drivers to complete a quick charge and shop without a long wait while positioning your property as a high-demand stopover. This increased traffic enhances tenant satisfaction and boosts overall footfall, creating more opportunities for on-site businesses to thrive.

Many JOLT customers have noted that the presence of a charger near local businesses makes them more likely to visit those businesses. As one Sydney-based professional, aged 35-44, explained:

“Having an EV charger near local businesses makes me patronise the business more often.”

According to the most recent JOLT customer survey, 57% of respondents perfectly align their charging time with engaging in local retail activity. This means over half of JOLT users are actively intending to spend while charging, bringing direct financial value to businesses on your property. Another JOLT customer, a 35-44 year-old Sydney-based professional, emphasised: 

“I can’t emphasise enough the fact that I wouldn’t spend a cent at the locations of the chargers IF the chargers weren’t there. They take me to places I wouldn’t otherwise visit.”

By hosting JOLT’s fast chargers, you get the best of both worlds: an efficient service that draws visitors to your property and keeps them spending while fostering tenant engagement and creating a steady stream of potential customers. 

2. Increased Foot Traffic and Basket Size: More Visitors, Bigger Sales

One of the biggest challenges for property owners is getting visitors in the door. JOLT’s fast-charging stations solve that problem. EV drivers specifically seek out locations with chargers, meaning your property could be a first-choice destination. In fact, two-thirds of JOLT customers say they’re less likely to visit a location without an EV charger.

But it’s not just about attracting visitors—it’s about what they spend. 87% of JOLT customers spend money while charging, leading to a direct increase in revenue for businesses on your property. This increased basket size is a powerful selling point for current and prospective tenants, making your site even more desirable. 

3. Spend Stats: $25 per Charge Session, Potential $90K Per Year in Incremental Revenue

Let’s talk numbers. Each JOLT charging session generates an average of $25 in spending at nearby businesses. Over a year, a single JOLT charging station can generate up to $90,000 (based on an average of 10 charging sessions per day) in additional revenue for your tenants. Imagine the impact that could have on the success of your business, on-site retailers and the value of your real estate.

By hosting a JOLT station, you not only offer a free and highly valuable service to EV drivers but also give your tenants a competitive edge. This translates into happier tenants, more lease renewals, and higher rental income for you. 

4. Loyalty and Trust Halo: Build Long-Term Value and Brand Recognition

Beyond the immediate financial benefits, hosting JOLT EV chargers fosters customer loyalty and trust. JOLT customers are creatures of habit—once they’ve found a reliable, convenient place to charge, they return regularly. This loyalty translates into repeat visits to your property and a consistent revenue stream for your tenants.

Data shows that people specifically visit locations with EV chargers, so offering this amenity sets you apart from competing properties. As a result, you build long-term value and brand recognition, positioning your property as a premier destination for tenants and customers alike.

By partnering with JOLT, you support the shift to sustainable mobility and bring customers to your front door, boosting your bottom line. Ready to future-proof your property? Contact us to learn more through our dedicated Commercial Partnerships page.
