Turn charging visits into customer value.Turn charging visits into customer value.
Our goal is to make EV charging a natural extension of the Kneaders guest experience—serving current guests, attracting new ones, and giving drivers a warm, welcoming place to spend their charging time. In doing so, the project can create measurable restaurant visits and sales while adding a valuable new amenity to the property.Kneaders Bakery & Cafe | 1960 N State Street, Orem, Utah | Proposed 8-port DC fast-charging station

01 / SITE SNAPSHOT
One site. Three levers.
The system is sized around how this store actually operates — long retail hours, a big refrigeration load, and a parking lot that stays busy.

Why bundle it?
Coordinated construction reduces schedule risk, keeps lender and tax records consistent, and gives the store one point of accountability when scopes overlap.
07 / GRID PARTNERSHIP
Unlock value beyond the meter.
The battery can serve the store every day and become a flexible grid resource when the utility needs it.
