The equipment need

The company installs and operates electric vehicle charging infrastructure on behalf of a charging network operator.

The pace of rollout was limited by its capacity to invest, since each site requires equipment and grid connection work.

Operating revenue only starts once a site is commissioned, which creates a cash gap on every site.

  • AC and DC charging stations
  • Electrical cabinets, connections and protection devices
  • Remote monitoring and control
  • Civil works, pavement marking and signage

The support described in the project

Leaseworld structured an equipment lease with a purchase option covering the chargers, electrical cabinets, monitoring system and related civil works.

The term was set between 60 and 84 months to bring payments in line with the economic life of the installations.

A multi-year facility was put in place so that each new site can be drawn down without a full new application.

The end-of-term purchase option leaves the operator in control of what happens to its network.

The reported operational outcome

The pace of rollout is no longer dictated by the cash available when the work is done.

Lease payments are matched to the revenue generated by the charging points once in service.

The company was able to take on new locations without renegotiating its financing site by site.

Applying the experience to a new project
