On this week’s episode, Kent is joined by Ben Kanner. They dig into why EV charging has quickly shifted from a “nice-to-have” sustainability feature to a real, capital-efficient value-add for multifamily owners. Ben explains how growing EV adoption, renter demand, and rent premiums are creating a compelling NOI opportunity—especially when paired with a no-upfront-cost infrastructure model. The conversation breaks down how EV charging can reduce vacancy, improve resident retention, and generate incremental revenue without adding operational burden for owners.

Where to find Ben:
