Greenspot

Greenspot develops, installs, operates and maintains electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Greenspot is a Charge Point Operator (CPO), so we own the charging stations and network. Our business model is to invest in technology to sell electricity to EV drivers. Greenspot provides everything property owners and managers need to monetize their parking lots without CapEx and the headache of ownership. Greenspot does this by installing charging stations on the property, operating and generating revenue, covering the cost of expenses and then sharing profits. Greenspot will continue to make the investment in the technology (e.g. Upgrades to faster and wireless charging) and expansion to provide drivers with more access to EV charging spots. Over time there will be many more EVs coming to your property and, as the charging stations expand, the NOI will grow significantly.
