FOCO vs COCO: Choosing the Right EV Franchise for Your Real Estate

Commercial landowners, petrol pump operators, and retail hub managers have an unprecedented opportunity to monetize unused parking space by hosting EV charging infrastructure. DNG Infra offers two flexible partnership models tailored to different investment appetites: Franchise-Owned Company-Operated (FOCO) and Company-Owned Company-Operated (COCO).

In the FOCO model, the property owner invests in the charging hardware while DNG handles all licensing, software management, billing, customer support, and maintenance. In the COCO model, DNG invests in and operates the charging hardware, while the property owner earns steady rental revenue or a percentage of charging turnover.

• FOCO: Higher capital investment, maximum ROI (up to 35% annualized), ideal for business owners with capital.
• COCO: Zero hardware investment, risk-free lease income, ideal for prime highway land and mall parking lots.
