Mixed-use properties have two kinds of drivers: residents who park overnight, and shoppers, diners and hotel guests who stay a few hours. Shared chargers serve both, giving visitors one more reason to choose your property.
Mixed-use properties have residents who park overnight, visitors who stay a few hours and a commercial meter with demand charges. Charging has to serve all of them without driving up the electric bill, and it can turn spare electrical capacity into revenue.
On a commercial rate, a few chargers running at the building's peak can set a demand charge that sticks for the whole month.
MatchaOS shifts and throttles charging away from the building's peak and responds to utility demand response events, keeping demand charges down.
Residents, shoppers, diners and hotel guests share the same parking, but they shouldn't all pay the same way.
Every session is submetered by driver. Guests pay per session with a QR code, and residents can be priced separately.
Commercial services are sized for a peak that rarely happens, so capacity sits unused most of the day.
Matcha puts that spare capacity to work with charging, and with storage where it fits, and the property shares in the revenue.
Visitor parking only works for retail and hospitality if cars move once they're done charging.
Rates are set per site in MatchaOS, so visitor charging can be priced to keep spaces turning over.
Commercial and multifamily properties qualify for different Make Ready programs, and each has its own rules and deadlines.
Matcha finds the programs your property qualifies for, applies for them and builds the incentive into the project.
Retail tenants and front desk staff shouldn't be fielding charger questions from customers.
Matcha monitors every charger remotely and handles maintenance, repairs and driver support for the full term.
Matcha funds, installs, owns and operates the chargers, and your property can share in the charging profits. Visitors see the price before they plug in and pay through MatchaOS. Matcha applies rebates where programs exist and handles maintenance, repairs and driver support.
