Multifamily
Add charging your residents will actually use, without your property becoming a charging operator.
Solutions
EV charging solutions built around your property
Every property has a different electrical environment, parking layout, resident or visitor profile, capital budget and business objective. Govian develops charging programs around those realities.
By property type
Find the charging program for your property
Hotels & Hospitality
Charging while your guests stay, using parking you already have, without turning your staff into charging operators.
Workplace
Support the shift to electric for employees, tenants and visitors, while keeping control of access and charging economics.
Retail & Commercial
Turn dwell time into charging time, and give EV drivers another reason to choose your location.
Mixed-Use & Parking
One charging program across residential, commercial and visitor parking, with centralized visibility instead of disconnected installations.
Common concerns
The six questions that decide whether charging happens
These come up on almost every property, whatever the type. Straight answers below.
Who actually operates the chargers?
Govian does. The property provides the location and, depending on the structure, the equipment. Drivers use a QR-based self-service flow on their own phone, and Govian’s operating model includes charger monitoring and operational support, with maintenance responsibilities defined in the commercial agreement.
What does it cost the property?
The property funds and owns the chargers and the installation. Govian charges a monthly platform fee, a charge per active port, and a per-session fee, agreed in writing beforehand. Because the property is the seller, the charging revenue settles into the property’s own account.
How do we know the revenue numbers are right?
Charging sessions, payments, refunds and property settlement are kept as separate records, calculated from the versioned commercial agreement that applies to your property. When something doesn’t reconcile, the design preserves the exception rather than adjusting records to make them look matched.
Are we tied to one hardware manufacturer?
Govian’s platform is built on OCPP-based charger communication, so the business is not designed around a single vendor. Hardware still has to be evaluated and qualified for compatibility. We don’t claim every OCPP charger works out of the box.
Is the electrical work going to be the real cost?
Often, yes. Available service capacity, panel headroom, trenching distance and permitting frequently matter more than the price of the chargers. Govian assesses this before recommending a deployment rather than after, which is why the process starts with the property rather than a quote.
What if EV adoption at our property is slow?
That is an argument for phasing, not for waiting. Where the site and electrical design support it, deployments are structured so additional connectors can be added later as a planned step.
Commercial structure
One offer, whatever the property type
The property purchases and owns the chargers and is the seller of the charging. Driver payments settle into the property’s own account, and Govian is paid through a fee schedule agreed in writing before the site goes live.
Thinking about co-investment? Govian is developing structures in which Govian funds part or all of the equipment cost for qualified projects and recovers it through agreed fees. These structures are not open yet, and availability would depend on site evaluation, project economics, applicable approvals and a final written agreement. If that is the direction you want to explore, say so in your property assessment request and we will tell you honestly where it stands.
Which property types does Govian serve?
Multifamily communities, hotels and hospitality, workplaces, retail and commercial properties, and mixed-use or parking facilities. Each has its own page above with the concerns specific to it.
Do we have to buy the chargers?
Yes, under the current offer. The property purchases and owns the equipment, which is what makes the property the seller of the charging and keeps the revenue in your own account. Co-investment structures are in development for qualified projects but are not open yet.
What is OCPP, and why does it matter to us?
OCPP is the open communication standard between a charging station and the software that manages it. Building on it is what keeps a charging program from depending on one manufacturer’s roadmap. The glossary defines this and the other terms that come up.
How long does a deployment take?
It depends on site assessment, electrical work, permitting, equipment availability and utility requirements. Govian provides a property-specific implementation plan rather than promising a standard timeline.
What happens after we submit a property assessment request?
Govian reviews the property details, comes back with questions about the site and electrical service, and talks through how the commercial arrangement would work. There is no charge for an initial property assessment conversation.
