Turn parking stalls
into a paid amenity.
Tesla V4 Superchargers on your lot: drivers routed to you by in-car navigation, 20–40 minute dwell times, and a charging asset you control the price of. We qualify the site, package it for Tesla, and coordinate the licensed build.
Know which path you're on before anyone quotes you a number.
These get confused constantly. They have very different economics, and the honest answer for your site depends on which one you're a candidate for.
You own the chargers. Tesla runs the network.
Tesla sells the V4 hardware to the property owner as a turnkey package: hardware, a dedicated Tesla project engineer for design, software, payment processing, driver support, preventative maintenance and 24/7 network operations — for an all-inclusive per-kWh network fee. You set the price drivers pay and keep the margin. Your logo or white-label.
- Best for: owners with strong traffic and dwell time who want the upside, not just rent
- Capital: you (or a lender / partner) fund the equipment and construction
- Islander's role: qualify the site, model the economics with real utility data, coordinate the licensed electrical build
Tesla builds and operates. You lease the stalls.
Tesla selects, funds and operates its own network sites and pays the property owner for the parking and access, typically as a lease. Tesla decides where these go based on network gaps and traffic; you don't buy equipment and you don't set pricing.
- Best for: owners who want zero capital exposure and steady, modest income plus foot traffic
- Capital: none from you
- Islander's role: package your site (power, layout, traffic, tenant mix) so it's easy for Tesla's real-estate team to say yes
V4 post · 1 m flood tolerance · IP54The five things that decide it.
Power
Available electrical service, or a realistic path to it, within roughly 100 m of where posts would go. This is the number one filter.
Traffic and visibility
Corridor counts, freeway proximity, and whether a driver would choose you over the next exit.
Dwell time
Tenants that hold people 20–45 minutes — grocery, fitness, dining, medical, hotels — beat tenants people run in and out of.
Layout
Eight or more contiguous stalls with room for the power cabinet, ideally at the front or side, away from building faces.
Competition
Nearby DC fast charging thins utilization. Gaps in the network are worth more than crowded corridors.
Not all commercial property behaves the same.
Retail strip & shopping centers
The classic fit. Anchor tenants with dwell time turn chargers into a foot-traffic engine for every store in the center.
Hotels & hospitality
Overnight guests plus highway travelers. Charging becomes a booking reason, not just a line item.
Auto dealerships
Service customers wait anyway. Fast charging on the lot serves your own inventory and pulls in the public.
Office & industrial parks
Daytime demand from employees and fleets; solar canopies over stalls can offset the demand charges chargers create.
Solar canopy over charging stallsChargers create demand charges. Canopies and batteries fight back.
A DC fast-charging site can spike a property's peak demand. Solar canopies over the same stalls plus a battery can shave that peak, keep tenants shaded, and turn dead pavement into generation. We model this per site with your actual tariff — FPL, Duke, TECO, JEA or a co-op each price demand differently.
How much does a Supercharger for Business site cost?
It depends on the number of posts, the utility work needed to bring adequate power to the site, and construction conditions. Tesla publishes an online configurator with hardware and typical installation tiers for Path 1; the utility interconnection is usually the biggest variable. We'll walk through the real ranges for your site on the first call rather than publish a number here that becomes wrong.
Who does the construction?
A state-licensed Florida electrical contractor. Islander Solar coordinates site qualification, design inputs and the project; the licensed contractor performs the electrical and civil work under its own license and permits.
Is Islander Solar affiliated with Tesla?
No. We're an independent advisory and technical sales firm that helps property owners evaluate and pursue Tesla's commercial charging programs. Tesla and Supercharger are trademarks of Tesla, Inc.
Do drivers of non-Tesla EVs use these?
Yes. V4 posts support the NACS connector standard that most manufacturers have adopted, and Tesla's Supercharger for Business one-pager notes access for both Tesla and non-Tesla EV drivers. Utilization projections should include both.
How long does it take?
Site qualification takes days. Utility service upgrades, permitting and construction are the long poles and are highly site-specific — months, not weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we see the utility situation.
