Costa Rica has fast-growing electric car adoption but few chargers outside the cities. A remote charging station fills that gap and can be a small business you own.

How the station works

Overhead solar panels make the power and shade the cars like a carport. Batteries store daytime energy so drivers can charge in the evening, and card or app payments with remote monitoring mean no staff on site.

Where to place it

Roadside lots, beach towns, farms, trailheads or hotel parking. Any sunny plot you own where cars stop can work, with no utility hookup or trenching.

Set expectations

Revenue depends on location, traffic, sun and your pricing, and returns are not guaranteed. We size each station with you during a free consultation.
