The XLR8 Process - XLR8 America

The XLR8 America Process illustrates the complete partner journey from initial site review to income opportunity. It integrates our Commercial Partnership Phase and Infrastructure Deployment Phase into a disciplined, two-part model designed to validate feasibility, define charging solutions, and execute disciplined deployment. Together, these phases ensure each site is positioned for long-term performance.

Commercial Partnership Phase

Commercial Partnership Phase is a structured approval designed to evaluate each site opportunity, define the EV charging project. Details for each step are listed below, these process steps can often overlap.

Site Review

Opportunities primarily originate through direct outreach, inbound inquiries, channel partners, parking operators, Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chains, or municipalities. Each site is qualified based on the following metrics at a minimum:

Property control/ownership alignment
Traffic volume & vehicle dwell time
EV density & adoption trends
Host alignment with revenue potential

Initial Feasibility & Business Case Proposal

During the Commercial Partnership Process we conduct a structured site review and confirm commercial feasibility. The following are considered:

Revenue modeling and utilization projections
Revenue share framework development
Consideration of capital requirement
Charger mix recommendation

Intent & Negotiation

Master Host Agreement, then Site License will define the following details:

Term
Rent or revenue share
Exclusivity
Rights and remedies
Deployment framework

Partnership Secured

Upon execution of the Master Host Agreement:.

Contract value is secured
Capital planning and deployment schedule began
Project advances to Site Development

Infrastructure Deployment Phase

Infrastructure Deployment Phase is an orchestrated execution model that transforms signed agreements into EV charging assets. The steps below outline each phase; while presented sequentially, certain activities may overlap to accelerate timelines and maintain project momentum.

Due Diligence Review

At each individual site we conduct a comprehensive technical and to confirm site viability prior to capital deployment. This review includes but is not limited to:

Site inspection, parking layout potential, and ADA-compliant accessibility assessment
Electrical proximity and preliminary infrastructure requirements
Utility load capacity analysis and service or transformer upgrade requirements
Interconnection cost analysis and incentive validation
Timeline feasibility and permitting risk review

Planning & Mobilization

Following the completion of Due Diligence, the project advances into coordinated pre-construction planning. With major risks identified and addressed, the focus shifts to contractor, equipment, and scheduling to prepare for efficient deployment. Mobilization includes:

Permits
Final design development and engineering coordination
Capital allocation and budget confirmation
Incentive application finalization and compliance documentation
Contractor selection and construction scheduling
Equipment procurement and logistics coordination

Construction

Once planning and mobilization are complete, the project advances into the construction phase. Execution is disciplined and schedule-driven, ensuring the site is delivered on time and prepared for activation. Key construction activities include:

Civil work, electrical upgrades, and network configuration
Charger installation.
Inspection and commissioning to confirm operational readiness

Site Activation (In Service)

The final and ongoing stage of deployment is Site Activation. XLR8 America ensures each site and charger operates at peak performance, with active oversight to maximize utilization. Key actions include:

Charger activation and implementation of pricing strategy
Continuous monitoring of utilization and performance
Ongoing operations and maintenance to ensure long-term reliability
Initiated revenue share aligned to commercial performance
