Ownership Structure: *

Owner Operated: The EVSE is owned and managed directly by the entity that owns the property/site where the charger is installed. The charging is provided directly by the owner of a property to benefit residents, employees, and community members, where cost recovery is limited to actual direct operating costs. Examples might include a local government that owns and operates EV chargers at a public library, or a local business owner who contracts with an EV installation company to install a charger in their carwash parking lot (the carwash owner will own and operate the charger and price of charging post-commissioning).Third Party Owner Operator: A site host or property owner leases space to another entity that operates and owns the EVSE. The third party sets prices for end users to charge their EVs, and is responsible for ongoing operation and maintenance. Examples might include charging-as-a-service providers, EV network providers, or another third party other than the site host or property owner.
