Own or rent mobile fast charging equipment?
Own equipment
For many businesses, there isn’t an obvious answer. Here are some reflections that can help you make the right choice.
Owning gives you long-term control. You invest in your own equipment, build up in-house expertise and can adapt solutions to specific needs. In the long run, this can be cost-effective, especially if you know that the need is stable and long-term. Ownership gives you the freedom to scale and adjust capacity without being bound by external agreements.
Rental equipment
Renting, on the other hand, gives you flexibility and lower entry costs. You avoid large initial investments and can scale up or down quickly according to project duration and requirements. Renting also gives you access to up-to-date technology without worrying about resale or loss of equipment value. At the same time, you reduce your responsibility for maintenance and upgrades, freeing up time and resources.
Advice
The key is to consider the project’s timeframe, liquidity, uncertainty and how quickly the technology is developing. Also consider future demand – will the need change?
