How much does a future-proof retrofit cost?

Phase zero (LPR + integrated payment) is no-capital-cost under Full Service. Phase one (electrical backbone) is 10-25% premium during planned asphalt renovation. Phase two (charging) varies with scale. Phase three (AV readiness) is modest. Net cost after incentives is typically 30-50% lower than gross.

How long is the typical retrofit horizon?

5-15 years across all four phases for most commercial assets, sequenced around the asphalt renovation cycle. Phase zero can go live inside 90 days. The pace of later phases is calibrated to demand growth and incentive windows, not to a fixed schedule.

Does Wins Parking handle financing?

We bring institutional capital partners to the table for asset owners who prefer not to fund retrofits from balance sheet. Our data stack and operational history provide the underwriting inputs lenders and equity investors need to fund charging, AV, and software infrastructure.

What if I sell the asset in 5 years?

A future-proof retrofit increases asset value at exit. Charging, AV PUDO, and data revenue streams are underwritable by acquiring institutions. Phase zero data alone (LPR-derived utilization) typically supports a higher cap-rate-driven valuation than legacy operating data.

Do you operate outside the major metros?

Yes. Wins Parking operates across all 50 states, with senior team members on-site for design and feasibility regardless of geography. Local execution is supported by vetted regional partners under Wins Parking quality control.

Electrical Capacity, Geofencing, and Modular Build-Out

Future-proof design starts with electrical service sized for full-lot DC fast charging, geofenced AV pickup zones at the curb, conduit stub-outs for phased charger installation, and a modular striping plan that can flex from 9-foot human stalls to 7-foot AV stalls. The marginal cost during initial construction is small; the retrofit cost later is enormous.
