EV charging site underwriting
Underwrite EV sites against what actually happened.
Find the site, design it, model the returns and produce the plan set. Then track every bid, utility milestone and month of charging against the forecast, so each project you build makes the next forecast better.
Free for 3 projects. No card needed.

One workspace, five stages.
Each stage feeds the next, from the first search to the first year of charging revenue. Nothing gets re-keyed.
Everything about a site on one page.
Competing chargers and their prices, traffic, demographics, EV registrations, the serving utility and incentives. Score a whole spreadsheet of addresses at once.
Draw the site. The estimate keeps up.
Stalls, chargers, transformer and switchgear on the aerial, with a live takeoff by division and design checks as you draw.
A pro forma built from the site.
Utilization forecast, the utility's real tariff with demand charges, a competitive price, incentives, IRR and payback.
04 DeliverDrawings and renders.
Site plan, riser, one-line and load calculation sheets, DXF for your engineer and a 3D render for the client.
Every forecast gets graded.
Lock what a project was underwritten to. As it gets built and opens, add the bids and final cost, the utility's dates and upgrade costs, and the charger network's monthly export. The track record rolls every project up, so you know how your estimates and forecasts really perform.
- Construction cost vs. estimate, line by line, from contracts and final invoices.
- Utility lead times and upgrade rates for each utility you work with.
- Energy and revenue vs. forecast, aligned to the month each site actually opened.
Most tools stop at the proposal.
Design and estimating tools hand you a layout and a number, and the returns go into a spreadsheet nobody checks again.
