So long as you purchase power with Chateau, we'll cover the costs of developing and maintaining charging stations at no cost to you, with the simple requirement of a contract renewal at the end of each term.
A charging station can cost anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the station itself as well as the installation costs. This can likely represent the biggest operating costs associated with implementing charging stations. We believe this option addresses the charging station costs directly because the station isn’t going to cost Chateau anything. We consider Chareau to be one of the leaders, with a top of the line station. We also believe our station, with the DC charging capability, can be the leading charging station on the market.
A minimal charge could also be applicable and depend on the station selected. Outside of this, the station will at least break even on all the charging that is done, and we suspect that the station will likely pay for itself through charging the electric vehicles.
