I have the site, let ADZE fund it
You just provide the area. Charger, build, electricity subscription, maintenance and operation are entirely ours. Without committing any capital, an unused area of yours starts producing income.
Who it suits
Shopping centres and supermarkets
A few square metres of your car park turn into a service that keeps customers in store longer.
Housing estates and residences
A service for your residents at no cost to the service charge, and steady income for the management.
Hotels and venues
Guests who drive electric choose the property that charges. It shapes the booking decision.
How the money reaches you
Collection, the electricity bill and every operating cost are ours. At month-end the electricity cost is deducted, your share of the remaining gross profit is calculated and paid into your account.
Driver pays by card
Charged as soon as the session ends
We pay the electricity bill
Subscription held by ADZE
Gross profit is calculated
Sales − electricity cost
Your share is paid
At the end of the following month
The collection risk is not yours
Because the charger is ours and so is the sale, uncollected sessions do not affect you. Your share is calculated on realised collection; chasing the shortfall is entirely our job. Beyond providing your area and waiting, you carry no obligation.
Your share is calculated on gross profit
Unlike the other two models, the share here is not on turnover but on the gross profit left after the electricity cost is deducted. Because we pay for the electricity, that cost comes off first and the remaining profit is shared.
This may or may not beat a lower percentage of turnover — it depends on the site's electricity tariff. After the survey we show both methods using your own figures.
- Energy sales (excl. VAT)
- turnover
- − Electricity cost
- ADZE's
- = Gross profit after electricity
- the share base
- × Site owner's share
- of gross profit
- = What's left for you
- monthly settlement
A charger that pays for itself
For those who have the area and want to make the investment themselves, there is another route: buying the charger on a lease. At a suitable location the revenue the charger produces can cover the lease instalment; what's left on top passes straight to you as profit. In that case you have moved to Model 1 and our share is calculated on turnover.
You don't tie up capital
A monthly instalment instead of paying up front. Your cash stays in your business.
Charger ownership is yours
When the lease ends the charger is entirely yours; the income continues.
We run the feasibility together
We calculate whether the revenue covers the instalment using your site's own figures — with no guarantee, as two scenarios.
We don't present this as a commitment
Whether the charger covers the instalment depends entirely on the location. Between our own sites, monthly sales differ by up to 20×. That is why we only give the figure after the survey, for your own site.
What your area earns you
Because you make no investment in this model there is no such thing as a «payback period» — you receive income from the first month. The real question is how much your area will earn.
BUSY LOCATION
From month 1
Areas with high daily traffic. The highest monthly settlement.
AVERAGE LOCATION
From month 1
Steady traffic. Settlement that grows over time.
WEAK LOCATION
We don't build
We won't install a charger; it would cost both of us.
Four-year trend at a busy location
Energy sold per year (kWh). A band derived from the real trend of our own DC sites; on average a 1.8× rise from year one to year two, then a plateau.
Payback in this model
Your settlement is calculated on gross profit after the electricity cost and rises as the site grows. Because you commit no capital the payback risk is not yours; you only allocate your area.
Electricity cost varies by region
We pay the bill, but the tariff directly affects the share base: the same sales leave a higher gross profit at a site on a cheaper tariff. We establish your site's tariff during the survey and show the settlement calculation on that basis.
Questions specific to this model
Do I really put in no money at all?
Yes. Charger, build, electricity subscription, maintenance and operation are entirely ours. You provide the area; the investment risk stays with us.
Who pays the electricity bill?
We do. That is why your share is calculated not on turnover but on the gross profit left after the electricity cost — the calculation is set out line by line above.
Would leasing and investing myself be more profitable?
It might be. At a suitable location the revenue the charger produces can cover the lease instalment and the profit on top passes to you. But that depends entirely on the location; we don't present it as a commitment, and after the survey we show two scenarios using your own figures.
What happens to the charger when the contract ends?
The charger is owned by ADZE. Renewal, transfer or removal options are defined in the contract from the outset; your area is restored to its original state.
If a customer doesn't pay, is my share affected?
No. Because the charger and the sale are ours, the collection risk is entirely ours. Your share is calculated on realised collection and chasing the shortfall is our job. This is the only one of the three models that carries no collection risk for you.
Let's see whether your area can produce income
The survey is free. If your area isn't suitable we'll say so — since you commit no capital, the risk is ours, not yours.
Assess my areaMODEL 1
I have the site, I fund it myself
You put up both the space and the capital. What you get from us is the sub-licence, the network software and the day-to-day operation. The charger is yours, the revenue is yours; we are simply the operator.
MODEL 2
I have capital, not a site
You put up the capital, we find the location. The site contract is held by ADZE; every dealing with the area, the rent and the risk stay with us. You look only at the return on the investment.
