How a $0 EV Program Actually Works
Where the money comes from when the owner doesn't pay, and what to watch for in the network contract.
We plan, bid and oversee EV charging, renovation and turn programs for apartment and student housing owners. You get the upgrade and the premium. We chase the rebates, level the bids and keep the contractors honest.
Four steps, one point of contact. We stay on the project from the first site walk until the last punch item is signed off.
We walk the asset, pull comps and model what the project should earn. For renovations that means market rent premiums by unit type. For EV it means electrical capacity, resident demand and every incentive the property qualifies for.
We write a scope contractors can price the same way, then line up utility, state and network incentives against it so the numbers are real before anyone mobilizes.
We run the RFP through our national contractor bench, level every bid line by line and walk you through the tradeoffs. You pick the contractor and sign directly with them.
We track schedule, change orders and quality through completion, close out the rebate paperwork and keep tracking premiums after the units are back online.
Built for owners and operators of conventional multifamily and student housing, from a single asset to a regional portfolio.
Charging is becoming a leasing expectation, and the incentives to install it are strongest right now. We handle the whole program so it costs you little or nothing.
Know what a renovation will earn before you spend on it. We plan the program around what the submarket will pay and then prove it out unit by unit.
Student housing turn is a few weeks where every bed changes hands at once. We plan it, staff it and run the vendors so move-in day happens on time.
Roofs, amenities, exteriors, building systems. If it needs a scope, a bid process and someone watching the contractor, we can run it.
Most EV programs cost the owner nothing out of pocket. Our fee comes from incentives and partner fees, so we only win when the project pencils. Renovation and capital work is a flat project fee, quoted up front.
We have spent years building relationships with installers, GCs and turn vendors across the country. Every one is vetted on real projects before they see one of your RFPs.
Every bid is leveled side by side, every change order is logged and every renovated unit is tracked against its projected premium. You see the same numbers we do.
RS Property Advisors was started by multifamily and student housing operators who spent their careers on the owner's side of capital projects.
We have run national turn programs, managed renovation pipelines and coordinated vendors across large portfolios. We have also watched owners overpay for scopes nobody leveled, miss rebates nobody filed and fund renovations nobody tracked.
We built RS to fix that. We bring an operator's eye for what actually matters on site, a contractor network built over years of real projects and the financial discipline to show you what each dollar earned.
We work in all 50 states. These are the markets where we see the strongest EV incentive stacks and the deepest installer benches today.
The most active charging incentive market in the country, with utility and state programs that can cover most of a multifamily install.
Utility-backed programs and strong resident EV adoption make charging a leasing amenity, not an experiment.
Generous make-ready programs for multifamily, plus older building stock where electrical planning really pays off.
Fast-growing apartment and student housing markets with expanding charging programs and room to get ahead of demand.
Somewhere else? Incentive programs change often, so we review every property against current utility, state and federal programs before quoting anything.
