See the model in action
See how charger deployment, usage, pricing, and costs connect.
Watch the walkthrough, then open the screenshots to review the deployment assumptions, one-time and subscription revenue, direct costs, financial statements, valuation, return analysis, and operating visuals.
What the model includes
A connected rollout model for EV charging infrastructure.
Build deployment and utilization from the bottom up, test pay-per-use and subscription economics, and follow the results through a complete financial forecast.
Model deployment and operations over time
Run a detailed forecast for as many as 10 years and see how rollout timing shapes revenue, cash flow, and returns.
Scale through as many as 120 tranches
Schedule charger additions in cohorts so installation timing, operating activity, and cash requirements build progressively.
Configure up to three charger types
Use different deployment cost, pricing, usage, and direct-cost assumptions for the charger formats in the rollout.
Connect vehicles, sessions, and kWh demand
Adjust vehicle counts and kWh usage per session by tranche to create a transparent operating-volume forecast.
Offer four membership pricing tiers
Forecast tier mix, subscriber utilization, available network capacity, and the percentage of monthly kWh limits used.
Separate fixed and energy-driven costs
Model a fixed cost per charger per month plus a variable cost for each kWh transmitted through the network.
Review monthly and annual financials
Follow the operating assumptions through connected Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement views.
Evaluate DCF, IRR, and equity multiple
Review project-, operator-, and investor-level economics, including an optional terminal value based on trailing-12-month EBITDA.
Bottom-up operating framework
Build each deployment cohort around the assumptions that drive station economics.
The tranche structure lets timing, installation economics, demand, usage, pricing, and costs vary across the charger network.
Deployment timing
Schedule when each tranche is installed and begins operating so infrastructure spending and revenue ramp in the intended months.
Deployment cost
Set the capital required for the charger type and cohort instead of relying on one blended network-wide cost.
Vehicle activity
Define the vehicle counts associated with each tranche and use them as the operating base for session demand.
kWh per session
Estimate energy delivered during a charging event and connect session behavior directly to transmitted kWh.
Customer pricing
Set charging prices by tranche and test how pricing changes affect revenue, customer economics, and operator margins.
Energy and fixed costs
Combine cost per kWh transmitted with recurring fixed cost per charger to calculate the direct cost of operating the network.
Revenue, reporting, and returns
Test the business from customer monetization through investor outcomes.
Use flexible revenue assumptions, integrated statements, valuation tools, and visual outputs to understand the network at multiple levels.
Forecast one-time charging revenue
Link charger activity, kWh usage, and pricing to the revenue generated by non-subscription customers.
Model recurring membership revenue
Set tier pricing and participation while constraining demand by capacity, subscriber utilization, and monthly kWh allowances.
Review project, operator, and investor views
Evaluate performance through the operating asset, the network operator, and the capital provider perspectives.
Value the business beyond the forecast
Use trailing-12-month EBITDA as the basis for an optional terminal value at the end of the modeled period.
Review annual results in one place
Use the annual executive summary to communicate core operating, financial, and return outputs.
Track unit economics and performance
Review key statistics including average revenue, cost, and profit per charger per month alongside other operating and financial trends.
How to use it
Move from rollout assumptions to value and returns.
Define charger types and deployment cohorts
Configure the charger formats, rollout tranches, installation timing, and deployment cost assumptions.
Build customer activity and energy usage
Enter vehicle counts, session behavior, kWh usage, capacity, and utilization assumptions by tranche.
Set pricing and operating costs
Model one-time charging fees, four subscription tiers, cost per kWh, and fixed monthly cost per charger.
Review statements, valuation, and returns
Use the monthly and annual statements, executive summary, DCF, IRR, equity multiple, terminal value, and visualizations to test the plan.
Who gets value from it
Built for teams planning and funding EV charging networks.
EV charging operators
Plan station rollout, utilization, customer pricing, energy throughput, operating costs, and network profitability.
Infrastructure developers
Test site-by-site or cohort-based deployment timing, capital requirements, ramp-up, and long-term value.
Investors and lenders
Review cash requirements, financial statements, DCF value, IRR, equity multiple, and exit economics.
Advisors and financial modelers
Use a detailed, editable framework for feasibility studies, fundraising, scenario analysis, and client planning.
