Commercial EV Site Planning Tool
Tesla V4 Supercharger
Site Pro Forma
Estimate your site's profitability with real Georgia Power tariff data, Tesla Model Y charging curve modeling, and invoice-calibrated utility fees. Built for business owners considering their first EV charging investment.
ESTIMATE ONLY. Projections generated in good faith using published Georgia Power tariff schedules, real customer invoice data, and industry-standard assumptions. Results are not guaranteed or promised. Actual results vary based on site conditions, utility approval, equipment pricing, real-world utilization, and factors outside the control of Car Charger Specialists, LLC. This tool is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a contract, commitment, or formal proposal.

Site Information
Site Address
Where will the chargers be installed?
Enter the street address of the site you're considering. As you type, suggestions will appear to help you select the exact location. We use the address to estimate expected customer traffic and charging demand based on the property type and surrounding area.

Site Type
What kind of property is this?
Different property types attract different amounts of charging traffic. An airport-adjacent site sees rideshare drivers all day; a hotel sees mostly evening charging from overnight guests; a highway corridor sees road trippers in a hurry. We'll automatically detect this when you pick an address above, but you can override it manually if you know your site better than the map does.

Price You Charge Drivers
What will you charge EV drivers per kWh?
This is the price drivers see at the pump, so to speak. In Georgia, public fast charging typically ranges from $0.42 to $0.58/kWh. Tesla's own Superchargers average around $0.52/kWh. Lower prices attract more traffic but reduce margin per session. Higher prices mean better margin but you may see reduced utilization in competitive markets. Default of $0.52/kWh is the current Tesla Supercharger national average and a fair middle-ground starting point for ROI modeling.

Equipment Configuration
Select cabinet size
V4 Cabinet / 4 Posts
1 Tesla V4 Cabinet with 4 charging posts. Best for smaller properties or as an initial installation with room to expand. Peak demand scales with how many cars charge at once (see below).
CAPEX (Installed)
Adjust if you have a specific quote
Installed cost for a 4-port V4 site.
Includes the Tesla V4 Cabinet, 4 V4 Posts, concrete pads, trenching, conduit, wiring, bollards, signage, engineering, permitting, labor, and project management. Default of $250,000 reflects typical CCS project pricing for a standard single-cabinet site in Georgia. Your actual number will depend on site conditions (trenching distance, pavement restoration, utility scope). If you have a firm quote, enter it here.

V4 Cabinet / 8 Posts
1 Tesla V4 Cabinet with 8 charging posts. Best for high-traffic sites where you expect multiple simultaneous charging sessions. Higher throughput, same cabinet, double the revenue potential.
CAPEX (Installed)
Adjust if you have a specific quote
Installed cost for an 8-port V4 site.
Includes everything in the 4-port package plus 4 additional V4 Posts and their associated trenching, conduit, concrete, bollards, and signage. Default of $500,000 reflects typical CCS project pricing. The cabinet itself and service entrance are the same as the 4-port option. Most of the extra cost is the additional posts and the site work to reach them.

Financial Assumptions
Projection Period
How many years to project revenue and costs?
Tesla V4 hardware has an expected useful life of 15+ years with proper maintenance. A longer projection shows more total revenue but also introduces more uncertainty about future market conditions, EV adoption, and equipment replacement. Default of 15 years matches standard infrastructure investment analysis and the typical warranty life of charging equipment.

Discount Rate
The "time value of money" rate.
A dollar earned ten years from now is worth less to you than a dollar earned today because you could invest today's dollar and grow it. The discount rate represents your required return: if you could safely earn 10% a year investing your money elsewhere, that's your benchmark. This tool uses your discount rate to convert future cash flows into today's dollars (Net Present Value, or NPV). Default of 10% is a standard benchmark for commercial infrastructure investments. Use 8% for conservative long-term capital, 12-15% if you have higher-return alternatives available.

Annual Utilization Growth
How fast will charging volume grow year over year?
EV adoption is still accelerating in the US. As more EVs hit the road, a busy charging site will see growing demand. This setting assumes your daily charging volume grows by this percentage each year. Default of 7% is a moderate assumption reflecting current EV market growth forecasts. Use 4-5% for a conservative case, 10%+ if you believe in aggressive adoption.

Fuel Cost Recovery ($/kWh)
Georgia Power's fuel pass-through charge.
This is what Georgia Power charges to recover the cost of natural gas and coal burned to generate your electricity. It's adjusted quarterly and has ranged from $0.02 to $0.05/kWh over the past few years. Default of $0.045876/kWh matches the rate on real Georgia Power commercial invoices from August 2025.

Env. Compliance (%)
Environmental compliance cost recovery.
A percentage-based charge Georgia Power adds to cover costs of meeting state and federal environmental regulations (emissions controls, water treatment, coal ash management). Default of 13.23% reflects actual Georgia Power commercial invoices from August 2025.

Demand Side Mgmt (%)
Demand Side Management schedule.
A small line-item charge that funds Georgia Power's energy-efficiency rebate programs (the same programs that gave you the $30k EV business rebate, ironically). Default of 1.29% matches real commercial invoices. This is one of the smaller adders.

Municipal Franchise (%)
Your city's cut for letting the utility operate in their jurisdiction.
Cities charge the utility a franchise fee for using public rights-of-way, and the utility passes it through to you on your bill. Rates vary by city - Atlanta is around 4%, smaller cities may be 3% or less. Default of 3.5% is a reasonable Georgia middle-ground.

Sales Tax (%)
State + local sales tax on your electric bill.
Georgia state sales tax is 4%, plus county/city add-ons typically 3-4%. Total usually lands between 7-9% depending on jurisdiction. Default of 8% is typical for Metro Atlanta counties.

Excess Facilities ($/mo)
Monthly fee for dedicated utility equipment.
If Georgia Power installs dedicated equipment that serves only your site, they may charge an ongoing monthly fee. Per guidance from Georgia Power, this charge only applies when the cost of distribution equipment exceeds a revenue ratio calculation specific to your customer account. Most sites will not have this charge. Default of $0/month reflects the typical case. Only populate this field if Georgia Power has specifically told you your site will be assessed an Excess Facilities charge.

Methodology validation: Rate structure, tier breakpoints, and adder percentages validated directly against Georgia Power's official Power and Light Calculator at georgiapower.com. Both PLM (Medium, 30-499 kW demand) and PLL (Large, 500+ kW demand) rate structures are implemented. Tariff selection is automatic based on actual peak demand (pre-BDAF). Results from this tool match the GA Power calculator to the penny across scenarios from 50 kW / 5,000 kWh up to 998 kW / 500,000 kWh.
Peak demand modeling: Tesla Model Y is used as the reference vehicle (peak ~250 kW brief, average ~150 kW sustained during the 30-minute billing demand window). Cabinet demand scales with how many cars charge simultaneously during peak hour, capped at the 998 kW cabinet rating.
