Service Description:
Initial EV Infrastructure Assessment
What it is
The Initial EV Infrastructure Assessment is a structured review of the building's existing conditions and available documentation, completed before any planning, design, or vendor work begins. The purpose is to establish a defensible baseline. After the Assessment, the board knows what is in place, what is missing, and what has to happen before EV charging infrastructure can be planned in good faith.
Who it is for
Boards of homeowner and condominium associations, property managers, building owners, and asset managers responsible for shared-parking environments in multi-family buildings. The Assessment is the right first step whether the board has been asked about EV charging for the first time or has been wrestling with the question for years without forward progress.
What is reviewed
Available architectural and electrical documentation relevant to parking areas, electrical service, and common infrastructure
Existing electrical capacity and distribution serving the parking areas, at a preliminary level
Building configuration and physical constraints that affect EV infrastructure deployment
Information gaps that must be closed before an EV Infrastructure Strategy can be developed
What the Client receives
A completed assessment checklist documenting existing conditions and the materials reviewed
A written assessment report identifying information gaps, constraints, and the additional data required prior to development of an EV Infrastructure Strategy
What this service is not
The Assessment is not an engineering study, an electrical load calculation, a site survey, or a permit-ready design. It does not produce a charger count, a vendor recommendation, or a cost estimate. Those outputs come from the EV Infrastructure Strategy and subsequent services. The Assessment exists to make those later services efficient and defensible.
Typical timeline
One to two weeks from receipt of the documentation requested by Ready EV Now to delivery of the written report. Timeline depends on the completeness of the documentation the Client provides at intake.
How a Qualifying Introduction is documented
A resident, owner, or other party introduces Ready EV Now to the property owner or to a sitting board member by email or by telephone with follow-up email. The thread is the documentation. When the introduction qualifies, the Assessment is free. When it does not, the Assessment is provided for the standalone $500 fee. See the Engagement Letter for the controlling definition.
How this leads to next steps
The written assessment report names the gaps that have to be closed before strategic planning can proceed. When the Client elects to proceed, the EV Infrastructure Strategy is authorized through a Statement of Work that references the signed Engagement Letter. Closing the gaps identified in the Assessment is often the first phase of the Strategy.
