EV Charging for Affordable Housing: How Buzze Supports Communities from Installation to Launch Day

As the shift to electric vehicles accelerates—1 in 4 vehicles sold in 2025 is expected to be electric—the need for EV charging infrastructure is becoming critical. For affordable housing developers, the challenge is clear: how to offer EV charging as an amenity that empowers residents without breaking budgets or overburdening property management teams.

Launch Day Support: Educating and Empowering Residents

Installing EV chargers is just the beginning. Ensuring residents know how to use them—and understand the benefits of EV ownership—is key to adoption. That’s why Buzze offers full Launch Day support for affordable housing communities.

On Launch Day, we focus on:

• Resident Education: Interactive sessions to explain how EV charging works, how residents can access it, and how EV ownership can save them money—equivalent to a 5% raise in disposable income, thanks to lower fuel and maintenance costs.
• Property Team Training: Hands-on guidance to help property managers and maintenance staff understand how to oversee and troubleshoot the chargers.
• Ownership Insights: Demonstrating how EV charging boosts property value, attracts eco-conscious tenants, and future-proofs developments.

Partnering with Local Organizations for Maximum Impact

To make Launch Day even more meaningful, we collaborate with Electric Vehicle Associations, local nonprofits, and sustainability-focused organizations. These partnerships allow us to bring experts to your community, providing additional resources and expertise to support residents and property teams.

Ride & Drives: Making EVs Accessible

For many residents, the idea of owning an electric vehicle might feel out of reach. That’s why Buzze can incorporate “Ride & Drive” events into Launch Day. Residents can test drive EVs, experience their benefits firsthand, and ask questions in a supportive, hands-on environment. These events not only demystify EVs but also help residents feel confident about transitioning to greener transportation.
