The EV Value Index: the numbers every commercial landlord should know

We’re excited to share the launch of our new research publication, the Be.EV EV Value Index - a comprehensive, data-led report that quantifies the commercial and strategic value of EV charging infrastructure on commercial property sites.

As electric vehicle adoption accelerates across the UK, EV readiness is no longer a nice-to-have - it’s a critical differentiator. Our research highlights how landlords and developers can leverage EV charging to drive significant returns, improve asset performance, and future-proof their portfolios.

Key findings include:

  • Up to £1.25 million in revenue over a 25-year lease through bay rentals
  • 15% higher rents and 40% lower vacancy rates at sites with EV infrastructure
  • 50% increase in customer dwell time, boosting retail performance
  • A clear path to improved ESG scores and green building certifications
  • Real-world case studies showing market uplift, stronger tenant retention, and increased property valuations

Crucially, most of these benefits are achievable through fully funded models - delivered by charge point operators (like Be.EV!) - which means no upfront capital investment is required from the property owner.

Download the report to see how you can turn your sites into high-impact, future-ready destinations that drive real commercial value.
