§ 01 · EV Charging

Pick the profitable parking lots first.

EV deployment is a margin game disguised as a real-estate game. Allometry scores every site against utility cost, fleet adjacency, install economics, and demand curves — so you stop building stations that don't earn back.

What goes wrong

The three ways EV deployments quietly lose money.

We've seen the same patterns across nine networks. Site selection, install pricing, and utility contracts all leak margin in predictable ways.

§ 01 · Site selection

Building where utilization is below break-even

Lots get picked on traffic counts and broker pitches. Allometry models actual session demand against utility tariffs — most sites don't pencil.

"Forty percent of the sites we'd already approved failed Pulse on day one."
§ 02 · Install pricing

Quoting installs against last year's costs

Trenching, transformer, switchgear costs move quarterly. Reps quote from outdated templates and the project loses 8 points before it ships.

"We were losing eight points on every install just from stale cost data."
§ 03 · Utility contracts

Demand charges nobody modeled

Tariffs, demand windows, and curtailment rules vary by utility. Allometry models the operating cost over 10 years, not just install day.

"Demand charges in two utilities killed margin we hadn't even shipped yet."

Where the margin lives

A site portfolio, scored stall by stall.

A 60-site DCFC network is not one number. It is 60 different IRRs driven by utility tariffs, traffic patterns, and demand charges. Allometry scores each stall before lease — so the sites that won't pencil get killed before steel hits ground.

EV economics are brutal because the cost curve is asymmetric. A 4% utilization mistake on a $400K stall is a 5-year IRR killer. Most operators discover this at site #15 — after they've already signed leases for sites #16-30.

Allometry pulls live utility tariffs, traffic counts, EV registration density, and adjacent-site utilization curves into every site score — before the lease is signed. The 6 levers on the right are what the kill/proceed decision actually hinges on.
