So smart to get in at the early stages before too much competition!
Exactly!!
That’s like saying don’t open a hair salon lol
You going to need just as many gas pumps. Make sure you get an app and mobile chargers so you can charge a subscription for people to get charges brought to them in fear of not having a charge to make it where you are going
I need this in my life. I’ve lost my lending company during Covid and went totally broke. This is something I have been looking for for two years. Lord knows I need this. Thank you thank you thank you! 👍🏾✊🏾
Glad it was helpful!
good info! thank you!!
Welcome!
Very well done! I learned more from you than I did from the manufacturers! They were lost! You answered all of my questions before I could ask you! Thank you for such an informative video. See you next time..subscriber forever!
Happy to know that I was able to help. Much appreciated. Thanks!
Well done 👍🏾 You just earned a new subscriber. This presentation was well put together. I’m a seasoned professional in the renewable energy space and have been looking into starting my own EV charging business. State rebates coupled with utility rebates and federal tax credits, makes this business very lucrative.
I appreciate that! Worked hard on it.
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
Welcome!
Great presentation! Thank you for the helpful tips ✔️
My pleasure!
Wow! Really good information. Thank you so much heart heart❤
Glad it was helpful!
❤❤❤❤❤ I’m so very proud of you! Great work, and very informative!
Thank you so much!!

You're welcome
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤
Welcome!
Much Respect My Sister tha k you for this information
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing !! Great Video!
Much appreciated!
I appreciate you taking the time to break this down black Queen!👑💯👌🏿
Thank you!
My company is in the renewal energy space. And we sell and install EV chargers. My company does all the investigative work to make sure the space is compatible with the EV chargers. Also, takes care of the maintenance and permitting as well. All you do is refer.
Thanks for sharing!
Are you in the US?
What’s the company reffer me
Can you ship to NZ
What’s the company please
Thanks
Welcome!
Excellent video
Glad you liked it.
Interesting.
Thank you for this information!
My pleasure!
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
I signed up to start selling these. This is the way our future is moving so I am on board from the start so I will be able to help lots of people to get this set up easily. We all need a way to make an extra income also. Ready to get started helping others get these. I am doing the home one to plug in to save on my electric bill also.
For sure, this is where the future is heading. Unlike the petroleum industry, only a selected few were able to get in, completely dominate, and benefit with great wealth. In my opinion, the EV industry is an open door to anyone who is hungry and willing to do the work. I wish you the best of luck and much success!
Great, I subscribed for more on how to start this type of business
I am so happy to have found this channel!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome!
Awesome information thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Excellent, excellent video!

This is GREAT! information. I definitely intend to research EV more. Just saw on news about EV deserts. Looking forward to see how it goes supplying these areas.
Awesome! Thank you and best of luck!
Well done sister, you enlightened me on how to get everything started.
Thank you for your help and May GOD bless you for freely pouring into others.
You are so welcome!

Ruihua is a professional and experienced EV charger manufacturer, specialized in AC charger, DC charger and Split Type DC fast chargers since 2006. Our factory located in Ruichang city covering nearly 80,000m²and 400+ workers
Thanks.
Thanks ❤️
You're welcome 😊
Great video, I'm super excited to get in, while it's relatively still in it's infancy. I'm doing my do delegence, by research all aspects. However, I'm not running across videos , or information for just an everyday individual like myself getting into this industry.What I do see is, videos, and information given to established businesses, corporations, & entities to acquiring government assistance, with grants, that they say is ready and available funding. But I don't see anyone giving information for individual to get this type of funding. It would be helpful if you could provide some info, or direction on how to apply for this funding for just ordinary folk, who would like to start an EV Charging business. Thanks.💜💞💚
Welcome!
Great info
Thanks for watching!
Excellent am also there stay strong 2023 and growing up god bless
Thank you!
Yeah you sold me, def looking into this, I got two gas station locations and looking into chargepoint for chargers. Blessings🙏🏽
Go for it!
You said charge point. You want to get into the ev charge business invest in charge point stock. Just saying. I’m about to buy a Tesla and I invest in Tesla. I basically invest in almost everything I buy. Inwant to own a piece of everything I use. Blessings to your business that you thinking about starting
im in california were can you learn more on how to start this business or buy a course?
What permits for having the cables run tp the location? Can i ask for for section of parking lot? How to run wires? Break the parking lot and rebuild?
You'll need to check with that city or county's license and permit department.
Greetings Sister. I’m play to come across your videos. I’ve been in planning phase of developing an ev charging station center for my location, the last 90 days. You have done extensive research. I’ve learned a few things from you. The research continues for both of us I am certain. I am available if you ever want any additional information you want to share with your audience. Please continue discussing this industry with our culture so we can have extensive knowledge in its infancy stage. Thank you for putting this together.
Will do....Thanks and good luck!
I would love to connect please let me know!
Hi I’ve been discussing this with my husband after hearing about the mandate California put in place a few years ago. I think this is going to be very lucrative. I would love to get more information from you ladies if you’re willing to pass and share information.
Hi, Hi I was wondering how to find the GOV fund to start a EV charge Business. any suggesting thanks
If you live in the U.S., you can visit the website for the Department of Transportation to see what's available. You can also call them directly. Good luck!
Look for justice 40 programs
Any electrical supply house will sell EV chargers
I get flyers for credit cards, non credit cards, residential, or commercial or industrial.
Thank you so much for this video, very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I see this as the first step in my journey to becoming a billionaire.
Great!
Is there any company in Australia who can take potential Commercial applications for Public EV Charging station businesses from start to finish please ?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with the market in Australia.
Well done. Please do how do I get the compliance for the EVC. Do you have some recommendations on companies to contact ?
Thanks! I recommend watching my other video for EV Newbies. Definitely start with a business plan if you don't have one first. Next, search for an experienced EV consultant. Best of luck! See link here: th-cam.com/video/lQoo4PQJTiM/w-d-xo.html
Does the size of the battery for example a e-bike compared to an electric car impact the time it takes to charge?? And also I'm sure when people are stuck in traffic especially in Houston, u don't have 90 mins I can easily see people charging it up for 20 mins and getting back home or where they need to be. I'm wondering bc I don't think a e-bike would take 8hours to fully charge on a level 2. Im thinking maybe 1-2 hours. Maybe get your batter Half charged in 30 mins on a level 2. Just as a vape compared to a cellphone vapes will be fully charged in 20 mins phones usually take an hour.
Yes, the size of the battery has an impact on battery life. Another EV charging service in the works is EV mobile charging services which is similar to roadside assistance.
The business model that works has a store attached. Gas stations can't survive without the profit from the store. Also, travelers need air pumps for tires, windshield waster tools, bathrooms, food drinks etc. Just because you drive an EV doesn't mean you don't need these things. At attendant is important so you have someone to inform when stuff is broken. Also, 15% of gas buyers pay in cash. How are those folks going to be able to go EV?
Having a store attached is beneficial. We will see how things play out over the next 5-10 years. It will be interesting.
Thank you for this! Is there anyway I can speak with your directly?
I only provide general information on this channel. I can try to answer your question(s) here as best as possible. If you're looking to start an EV charging business then you'll definitely want to seek a licensed professional within the EV space.
@@platinumblackserviceslike who? and where trying to buy a course can't find nothing
Good Morning Queen, with the prime location setup, do we need permission to establish our charging station at any of the locations listed on Tip#3 ? Do we need any specific licenses or permits to operate this business? Or are we just able too select a supplier, installer to help establish our charging system once we’re able too find a location
As mentioned in both videos, you definitely want to contact an EV Consultant who is highly experienced within the EV space first. That's the best place to start. Good luck!
I greatly appreciate you taking the time out of your day to equip us, with the knowledge that’s going benefit us here on out. Stay gracious, stay blessed & repent for your sins daily. Have a happy new year queen.
Why go thru all of these steps, when about 98% can be done FOR YOU?
@@teamgregsain how show the steps
@@milliongrand I'm not into "cross recruiting" or recruiting at all for that matter!
Great information, thank you. I hope i can keep putting this together to make it a business.
The way I’d like it to be set up is almost off the grid but still interconnected in case of bigger needs but I would like a big land with either big arrays of solar or solar tracking systems for maybe 8 solar modules w 400w each, total 3.2kwh per tower. The tracking systems also gives you between 15-30% better production throughout the day then have inverters from dc to 3 phase 480v coming out to some batteries connected in series being able to hold at least 2 days of full production from solar, now the 3 phase would also allow me to put level 3 charging stations as well as level 2 if I wanted to, try to sell car charges for limited quantity and little by little keep adding batteries and solar if there’s still space until maxed out then next location. I plan on doing all the electrical and solar work myself I’m just halfway through my electrical contractors license.
If this was my case, is there a regulation of prices to sell electricity or do I fully have control over that?
Also looking for ideas to make it more appealing than teslas charging stations, any suggestion helps
Congrats on the process of obtaining your electrical license! Generating and selling renewable energy for EV chargers is a great idea. You will have the upper-hand in controlling your pricing. However, keep in mind that the contracts you enter into and the consumers you sell to want to pay "reasonable rates" for energy. As the EV industry continues to grow, I'm sure that pricing rules and limitations will be more of a concern. Check with your state's energy department for more info (see link below). From what I've learned, to become more appealing is to ensure that your charging stations are adaptable to charge various EVs. The more flexible and adaptable the better. Good luck!

@@platinumblackservices thank you!
I'm interested in this, I'm in New Zealand. I have a site by a main road and I have a massive power supply that I'm not using that I am fairly sure ideal for a 4 bay fast EV charger, be interesting to see how it goes, in NZ I think the grid connection is the most expensive part....
I wish you great success. Thanks for watching!
💯
Thanks!
Are you in this business which one would you go with
At this time no. I've been doing a lot of research and wanted to share with others who may be considering it but are either intimidated, overwhelmed, or confused about it.
@@platinumblackservices you are incredible and VERY intelligent!! I am VERY happy I came across your TH-cam channel.
I have notes in my phone dating back to Sept 2020...
Yep, i aint gon say it.. but.. iykyk
About EV charging stations becoming a budding industry
Many of us saw this coming. The next 5-10 years are going to be very interesting due to the speed and need of it!
Hello. Im a technician installing level 2 ev chargers in Fl. Any business partners?
I actually overheard someone talking about EV Charging stations as a business and decided to do my own research, and in doing so I landed on your video, which I found extremely insightful. However, I do have some more detailed questions that I would like to ask you. Is there a way to contact to you directly? Once again your video was super helpful and I definitely encourage you to keep doing your thing this video was amazing. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you! Glad it helped you. I just post videos on what I've learned. No direct one-on-ones. Please continue to do your own research. This industry is still very new and will continue to evolve. Best of luck!
I’m very interested! I will be writing a business plan this week❤
Wonderful! Wishing you great success...
Hello, I hope you have completed the business plan. I was thinking the same. How can I reach you? I would like to know more about EV charging stations.
Can a small private charging station compete ChargeHub and Tesla? They have economies of scale.
Yes 10O %
Yes!
Can one add a charging system with their car wash business? or it would be too dangerous
Interesting question! I'm not sure but you definitely want to check with an EV installation company to see if it's safe and/or possible. Best of luck!
You could install the charge station if you complied with the regulation of space. AOR
I do have to say I knew about the adaptors, but I didn't think of adding one at the station for others to use.
I just thought of adding two different types of machines. But That was a great tip. This is a very new business so not that many teachers you just have to learn on your own. I hope to build a small community we can all learn from each other these videos help
I agree, its very new with a lot of information that will constantly change over time. Lots of trial and error. Great idea about building a small community!
Yes. Me too. I am learning every day. I became owner in the company so I am ready to earn shares while I help others save and earn.
@@carrieloyer4290 What do u tell the land owners so they allow you to set up a station. The ones that I ask tell me to pay $500 😭 like u don't even make that much in profit every month unless you're in a really good spot
What does platinum black services mean? Great info!
No one has asked that before. The name just came to me 15+ years ago and I liked it....LOL. Thanks for watching!
My question is do you have to buy land or can you make a deal with a business or just put in a parking lot?
Yes, someone has to buy/own the land outright first. The land owner can either pay for all of the upfront costs to install and maintain their EV charging stations or they can become a site host. A site host leases their land to a third-party EV charging provider (such as ChargePoint or Electrify America who pays 100% of the upfront costs and ongoing upkeep) while collecting a fee........For example, a business owner (who happens to own a building and/or parking lot area) could either buy and install EV charging stations out-of-pocket or enter into a contract with a third-party EV charging provider and collect a fee.
Great question!
a friend of mine just bought 5000 ft² foot of parking lot space would like to put some charges on it anyway I can get some information from you or call you?
Unfortunately, I do not offer consultation services. Just sharing information that I've extensively researched. Please check out my "EV Newbies" video for a step by step plan on how to start and EV charging station business and obtain the right resources. Best of luck and much success!
Moving away from fuel?
Install a EV charging station.
Let see
Ok let see.
First need a location. Upgrade a service need a bigger transformer, a buy product of fossil fuels. Because each transformer has a tub of oil.
If you want to dig and burying the insulation need a excavator that need fossil fuel to dig and bury the PVC pipe that a buy product of oil .
Then to run the wires to each station. Installation on copper wire is oil base. Not to mention the copper was mine with big oil digging machine. Then the product were ship by truck to the supply house you buy it from. The workers driving gas vehicles back forth with there vans truck to install the equipment.
And they can used there bye product of oil a plastic credit card and to power the car with fossil fuels power plan
Note the rich are starting to install 100 amp residential charging station at there houses and taking out there old 48 amp charging station that charge at and upgrade a lot of electrical service.
We install a extra 600 amp panel with a new transformer for just the EV in a underground parking lot.
Had to upgrade a transformer on a power pole because that neighbor hood was tripping it . Luckily the utility company was upgraded another transformer and moved that one to that neighbor hood.
How do you put yourself in front of your information
Used OBS Studio and a green screen! Learned through TH-cam tutorials on how to set it up.

Thx!
Hello hello Platinum Black Services, I am looking into starting my own business. However, I am having difficulty on where to finding a place to partner with or allow me to place a EV charger in their premises. Should I buy land or a parking lot stall then do it. I got rejected by 5 businesses so far so I thought to ask you
Generally, you will need to own the land/property yourself. If a business owner wants an EV charging unit on their premises, they will either pay or buy it themselves or lease it from an EV charging manufacturer/provider directly such as ChargePoint or EVgo. Try to find an experienced EV consultant who can give you better direction. Best of luck!
Hey do you mentor ppl in this
Thanks for watching! Hopefully, you've watched the other videos for more assistance. Not a mentor. Just enjoy sharing information.
Help me get infrastructure the Bussiness and get grants related to open this business..
This video was posted to help those who want to get started. Good luck! th-cam.com/video/lQoo4PQJTiM/w-d-xo.html
Level 2 chargers are around $800 and level 3 around $80,000
$80000 for how many ?
Many say that Level 3 chargers are very expensive.
The pricing that I saw for Level 3 Fast Chargers started at $55,000 for one that can charge 2 cars simultaneously and went up to $220,000. That didn’t include the fact that they require a 480v electricity service which is much more expensive than residential electricity service is. Installation plus rent for commercial real estate on top of buying the equipment and paying for the electricity and I can’t see getting a commercial EV charger site with a capacity to charge 6-8 cars at a time for less than $500k up front. It takes a lot of electricity to recoup that investment plus pay your operating costs!
Hey do I need any certifications for this business
If the goal is to be an Electrical EV Installer then yes and I posted a good video on that....... However, if the goal is to own an EV charging station business then you are required to pull (or apply) for a permit within the city/jurisdiction you plan to install the EV chargers. The hired Electrical EV Installer(s) must be stated-licensed or certified and the EV charging units are required to be certified and pass specific federal and state codes.
Thanks for watching!
There’s no such thing called Level 3. Please don’t mislead the public. There are Level 1 and 2 AC chargers, which use EV onboard charge controller. Then there is DC fast charger which uses heavy duty silicon carbide charge controller inside the station, not the controller in the vehicle.
I personally install Level 3 no long a go for a bus line with my company
Thanks for sharing.
Maybe also include "for complete beginners" in the title because anyone seriously searching for ev charging business already knows everything you went over in this video.
Thanks for the suggestion!
do you have a course?
Unfortunately, I don't.
I want to get in.
Thanks for watching! Here's a video for "EV Newbies." Helpful resources are provided. Best of luck!

@@platinumblackservices Thank you for responding..
Tip number 1 don’t do it. Skip 2-4.😊😊😊
Don’t forget colleges and schools and gas stations especially mom and pop gas stations
Facts, those as well!
Level 3 cost more than the car lol.
lol!
The revenue will pay for the machines. If strategic
I'm interested
Great!
I currently represent an Ev charger company and I am the manager for strategic partnerships. I would love to connect if you have time.
That is awesome. Unfortunately, this channel is the best way to stay up-to-date with what I post regarding various business topics. Please stay tuned/subscribed for more content coming next week. Thanks for sharing.
