EV charging station management and repair would be a profitable business. If the number of charging stations increase, the possibilities to start and run a complete charging station management are high.

A group of different charging stations might be installed together and localized repair and maintenance would be the best solution.

#5 Electrical workshop for electrical vehicle

The electrical workshop to repair and do electrical-related work on an electric car is good business. Electrical motor, circuits, etc. would be parts covered by the workshop.

The electric car charging station setup training center can be started to teach EV charging station service. Charging station setup training service shall be started along with charging station repair business.

#8 Electric Car Rental Service

Electric car rental services can be started. This would be a successful business in the tourist locations if you could promote the green mobility solutions that you offer in that area. People might be conscious of the environment, especially in tourist locations.

Electric vehicle spare parts manufacturing or selling is another business that can be started. It’s also good to sell spare parts after importing from the manufacturing units.

Battery replacement is necessary for electric vehicles in almost 5 to 10 years. Electric car battery sales shop would be a profitable venture as the number of EVs increases.

If you are from a region where electric two-wheelers are common and you could go hand in hand with the manufactures (eg. startups) then you may think about the battery manufacturing unit itself.

The electric car battery business expects to go gain momentum soon since the arrival of a large number of EVs to the market.

Electric car washing can be started as part of other car washing stations. This is another add-on to the electric car business opportunities.

Electric car repair stations that can be availed at the location where the car brakes down would be helpful. The person who knows electric car repair can easily start the business and promote the business through advertisements.

Electric car franchises and reselling businesses have a bright future since the number of EVs increases. World’s best vehicle manufacturers already started EV manufacturing. The reselling and franchising opportunity is there for EVs.

You can search for the best electric car dealership opportunities and set up one for you.

#14 Portable Charging Station

Electric car charging stations are not available in all places. There is a place for a portable charging station to charge electric cars in emergencies. The business can be started along with other businesses.

An electric vehicle charging station that uses energy from the sun is a solution for the high electricity demand of charging stations. Installation of solar-based home or private charging stations requires expertise. There is a good business opportunity.

This is another updated version of the electric charging station business. The time taken to charge an electric vehicle is more than the time to fill the fuel of the IC engine vehicle.

The EV charging and Chill stations would be some infrastructure where drivers can drink coffee, watch a movie, have a meal, play games, etc. while their EV charges.

#19 Battery Scrapping

Batteries of electric cars would be unusable after 1000s of charge-discharge cycles. The Lithium might cause water and soil pollution if not disposed of properly.

A battery scrapping station can be set up to reuse the old battery parts and dispose of the waste.

The battery of EVs can be used for some other electrical storage purposes once the capacity reduces.

Think about this smart business!
