Multifamily and Commercial Properties

Benefits of Installing Electric Vehicle Charging

  • Attract and retain tenants and customers: EV charging is an amenity that many tenants seek. Installing EV charging at a multifamily building can increase the property’s appeal and keep tenants satisfied. Installing EV charging at a commercial property allows employees and customers to charge while away from home. 
  • Remain competitive: The number of properties with EV chargers is growing. EV chargers are required at most new buildings built today. Installing EV chargers helps property owners remain competitive and meet growing demand. Getting ahead now means you won’t be playing catch-up later.
  • Good for business: The presence of EV charging stations can boost customer spending at nearby businesses.
  • Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability: Properties that install EV chargers show leadership in their communities and help meet local climate action goals.

Fixit Clinic @ Half Moon Bay Library

Fixit Clinics are fun community-based workshops where neighbors, friends, and families work collectively to learn how to repair broken items. We’ll provide a workspace, specialty tools, and volunteer Fixit Coaches to help you troubleshoot and provide routine maintenance to your household items and appliances! Register at https://bit.ly/itemcheckin. 

Interested in being a Fixit Coach?
It’s easy! Provide participants with 1) guidance on tools and 2) encouragement to investigate their broken item. Let them talk about how they used it and how it broke. That often provides valuable hints as to what’s wrong. See how much you can do without actually handling the item. Empower the item’s owner to do the troubleshooting and disassembly. Register to be a Fixit Coach here.

This event is hosted in partnership with the San Mateo County Libraries.
