The SONAR.EV franchise, in full detail.
Everything a partner needs to know: how the model works, what we provide, what you bring, the revenue split, maintenance, and the contract terms.
How the SONAR.EV franchise works
Five steps from investment to recurring revenue — with SONAR.EV accountable for the tech and operations spine.
You invest in the charging station and secure a suitable site.
SONAR.EV supplies chargers, software, and driver app.
We install, commission, and connect the station to our network.
Customers charge their EVs — payments captured automatically.
Revenue is shared transparently, monthly.
