Program covers hardware, permitting, installation and maintenance, while shops earn a share of charging revenue
Redmond, Wash.—1stMILE has announced 1stMILE EV Charging, a turnkey program that puts Level 3 fast chargers at multi-location tire dealers and independent repair shops.
1stMILE covers the hardware, permitting, installation and maintenance, so shops pay nothing up front. Shops earn a share of charging revenue, and that share grows as utilization grows.
Typical charging sessions bring a vehicle to 80% in 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the vehicle, which gives service teams time to greet drivers and suggest routine work like tires, brakes, cabin filters, and battery checks.
“EV drivers need two things: a fast, reliable charge and a shop they can trust with their vehicle,” said Kyle Lindor, VP of EV Charging at 1stMILE. “Until now, most shops couldn’t offer the first, so those drivers rarely had a reason to discover the second.
“EV charging changes that. It brings new drivers onto the lot, gives service teams time to build a relationship, and turns every charge into a chance to earn a customer for life.”
1stMILE’s flexible financing options help shops win bigger jobs. The loyalty program helps shops earn the next visit, and now, EV charging is one more way 1stMILE helps shops grow revenue.
