Los Angeles is the largest EV market in the United States. With roughly 350,000+ registered EVs in Los Angeles County and major demand drivers around LAX, downtown, and West LA shopping corridors, EV charging sessions at office buildings here run 10-18 per day per Level 3 charger.

Office Building sites combine 6-9 hours of dwell time with the EV-driving demographic Los Angeles attracts. Local utility rates of about $0.25/kWh through LADWP / SCE, paired with the property's predictable 8-hour weekday charging anchored by tenant demand. make this combo one of the highest-ROI opportunities in Southern California.
