I’m an entrepreneur based in LA and recently moved from a house with a Tesla charger to an apartment in WeHo without a charging station.

I’ve realized there’s a large gap for fast charging in the West LA area. There’s only one Supercharger in WeHo (plans to build a second but unclear on timeline).

I’m curious what the viability is to set up a new fast charging station. I’m still in the research phase (talking EV Box to get a better understanding of startup costs etc) but curious if anyone here has first hand experience.

This area is very underserved - many apartments tons of Tesla & EVs.

    I’m tempted to buy an old self car wash and install chargers where the vacuums are. Feel free to take my idea. Also a way to pay cash to charge would be cool. Or maybe a full service place called “Charge and Wash”.

      It’s a good idea, but you need to be sure that the grid will be there…
