Common fair-use resident billing basis
Industry benchmarkMultifamily & Residential
Fair resident EV charging billing without turning charging into a building-wide cost.
WAI EV helps multifamily operators meter usage per session, apply resident-friendly billing policies, and use load management to scale charging capacity.

Operational benchmarkGoal: avoid charging costs on shared common-area budgets
Property operations targetThe problem multifamily operators run into
Resident demand is rising, but unmanaged charging creates fairness and infrastructure pressure.
Common-area bill burden
Unmetered charging can shift private usage cost to all residents.
Limited electrical capacity
Older buildings often cannot support many simultaneous sessions.
Billing disputes
Without clear statements and policy controls, resident support issues rise.
Access control gaps
Shared parking requires controls to prevent unauthorized usage.
How WAI EV helps
- Driver-level billing. Meter each session and assign costs to the charging resident user.
- Dynamic load management. Balance available capacity across chargers in real time.
- Resident and guest policies. Set pricing and access by user group and operating window.
- Access controls. Manage who can use each charger and when.
- Hardware compatibility. Operate OCPP-based mixed hardware in one platform.
What this looks like in practice
For representative communities with limited electrical capacity, per-resident billing and load management improve feasibility.
Session metering and billing by driver account
Use constrained capacity more efficiently through load sharing
Reduce common-area charging subsidy pressure

Multifamily EV charging FAQ
Who pays for EV electricity in multifamily charging?
With metered workflows, charging cost can be assigned to the resident user rather than pooled to common-area budgets.
Can buildings add chargers without major electrical upgrades?
Dynamic load management can often increase charger usage on existing infrastructure before major upgrades are required.
Does WAI EV support mixed hardware?
Yes. WAI EV supports OCPP-based mixed-hardware operations.
