299: Accelerating Access to EV Charging for Real Estate Portfolio Owners with Benjamin Kanner
Monday, 1 December, 2025
On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Benjamin Kanner, CEO and co-founder of 3V Infrastructure, a company focused on delivering long-term, scalable EV charging solutions for multifamily portfolios. With a background spanning commercial real estate, renewable energy project finance, and multiple startups, Ben brings a uniquely holistic view of how electrification intersects with property ownership and investor demand. His company's model—installing, owning, and operating EV chargers at no cost to property owners—creates a compelling new amenity for renters while helping owners stay ahead of rapidly shifting consumer expectations. Throughout the conversation, Ben and Jonathan discuss the accelerating adoption of electric vehicles, why multifamily properties sit at the center of this transition, and the economic forces shaping the need for reliable, long-dwell charging infrastructure. Ben explains the cost drivers behind EV ownership, how modular battery technology is evolving, and why Level 2 charging is the most practical option for home-based needs. He also breaks down how 3V underwrites utilization, diversifies risk across large portfolios, and helps property owners increase rents and tenant satisfaction—all without capital outlay. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how EV charging impacts NOI, what's really happening with power demand, why used EV markets will expand rapidly, and how owners can prepare their buildings for the next decade of transportation needs. Whether you're an LP, a multifamily operator, or simply curious about electrification, this episode highlights the strategic advantage of early adoption. In this episode, you will hear: Why EV adoption has crossed a national inflection point and what that means for multifamily owners. How 3V Infrastructure finances, installs, and maintains EV chargers with no upfront cost to operators. The economics of EV ownership—including maintenance, fueling costs, and battery modularity. Why Level 2 charging is ideal for long-dwell environments like apartment communities. The role of data, utilization modeling, and EV "rent rolls" in determining charger counts. How electrification, grid demand, and infrastructure investment will shape the next decade of CRE.
