Your Parking Lot Is Leaving Money on the Table and We Have the Fix

If you own or manage commercial real estate, you're sitting on an asset most property owners haven't figured out yet: your parking lot is a revenue-generating infrastructure site.

We're not talking about adding a few Level 2 plugs in the corner. We're talking DC fast charging — the kind EV drivers actively seek out, the kind that generates real income over a 10-year horizon — and we've partnered with 3V3i to bring it to qualifying commercial properties across the region at zero cost to you.

Let me break down exactly what this is and why now is the time to pay attention.

The Market Is Moving Whether You're Ready or Not

Electric vehicles are no longer a coastal trend. They're mainstream — and the infrastructure to support them in the Midwest is years behind demand.

The DC fast-charging market is projected to grow from $15.8B to $72.1B by 2036. Kansas and Missouri remain significantly underdeveloped relative to markets on the coasts. That gap is the opportunity. First-mover commercial properties that lock in long-term agreements today will capture the traffic, the dwell time, and the income that latecomers won't.

The average EV charging session is 32.5 minutes. That's a customer sitting in your parking lot — or walking into your tenant's space — for over half an hour. That's not incidental foot traffic. That's captive dwell time.

What 3V3i Brings to the Table

3V3i is a vertically integrated design-build-and-operate company. They don't just install equipment — they build the hardware, run the network, and hold contracts with the leading EV charging networks nationally.

What that means for a property owner:

✅
  • $0 cost to you — 3V3i funds, installs, owns, and maintains all equipment
✅
  • $0 utility burden — they cover all electrical infrastructure and ongoing utility bills
✅
  • 5-day deployment — versus a 10+ day industry average
✅
  • Semi-annual revenue payments with full usage reporting

You provide the space. They handle everything else.

The Revenue Model: Simple, Transparent, Scalable

You earn $0.05 per kWh dispensed. That's it. No management headaches, no maintenance calls, no capital at risk.

Here's what that looks like in real dollars over a 10-year agreement:

Revenue grows as EV adoption accelerates. The back half of the 10-year term pays significantly more than the front half — which means the property owner who signs today is positioning for the growth curve, not chasing it.

The Agreement — What You're Actually Signing

This is a 10-year initial term with one optional 5-year renewal. Key terms you should know:

  • 3V3i owns and operates the equipment throughout the term
  • You can exit without cause on 60 days' written notice at any point
  • If you exit before month 60, you reimburse installation costs — standard provision, not a hidden trap
  • Your obligations: provide the space, maintain the surrounding area, notify 3V3i of malfunctions

That's it. This is designed to be a passive income layer on your existing asset — not a new operating responsibility.

Who Qualifies

Not every property is the right fit, and that's intentional. 3V3i targets sites that will drive real utilization — because their business model only works if drivers actually show up.

Target property types:

  • Strip retail centers and big-box outparcels
  • Hotels and travel-oriented properties
  • Gas stations and convenience stores
  • High-visibility commercial properties with strong road frontage
  • Office and mixed-use developments
  • Industrial and flex properties with excess parking

Site requirements: Strong visibility from major roads, easy ingress/egress, safe 24-hour access, sufficient parking, and adequate electrical capacity. The evaluation is free — you submit the address and we run the analysis.

Why This Matters for CRE in Kansas and Missouri Specifically

The national institutional capital chasing EV infrastructure is concentrated in coastal gateway markets. The Midwest is an emerging opportunity — which means less competition for sites, longer-term agreements, and first-mover advantage on what will become standard amenity infrastructure within 5 years.

Tenants are already asking about EV charging. Municipalities are starting to incentivize it. Insurance carriers are beginning to underwrite it. The operators who move now lock in preferred terms before this becomes a crowded market.

This is the same dynamic we saw with cell tower ground leases 15 years ago. The property owners who moved early captured the best terms. Everyone else caught up later — on the operator's timeline, not theirs.

Next Steps

If you own or manage a commercial property in Kansas or Missouri that fits the profile above, the conversation starts with a free site evaluation.

Submit your address → we run the evaluation → if it qualifies, you review the agreement and decide.

No commitment required to find out if your property qualifies.

This opportunity is presented by Midwest CRE Advisors in partnership with 3V3i. Site advisory fees apply at execution as described above.
