When a hotel company moves from “we should have a charger” to “standardize charging across the portfolio,” that’s a signal to the broader CRE market. Kinseth Hospitality Companies’ new partnership with TurnOnGreen does exactly that—pairing a management/ownership platform with a turnkey charging provider to roll out networked EV infrastructure at scale.

EV headlines look contradictory. On one side, automakers are tapping the brakes. On the other, U.S. EV sales just hit a quarterly record. The takeaway for corporate and commercial real estate (CRE): tighten your filters, but don’t stall shovel-ready sites that already pencil on dwell economics and power.

The New York Times Upshot’s state-by-state breakdown of EV charging costs confirms what many of you see on the ground: home charging is almost always the cheapest way to drive an EV, hybrids come next, and public DC fast charging (DCFC) is often the most expensive—unless you’re in a few lucky states. That mix, plus local gas and electricity prices, explains why driver behavior (and your utilization) can look totally different in Seattle vs. St. Louis vs. Miami.
