Quick napkin math I ran before building CRON (a marketplace for peer-to-peer EV charging):

A Level 2 home charger delivers ~7kW. If it sits idle 20 hours a day and you rent out even 3-4 of those hours to a neighbor or commuter who needs a top-up, at $0.30-0.40/kWh over your utility cost, that's roughly $60-120/month from a device you already own and aren't using.

Multiply that across a street, a parking garage, an apartment complex — and you start to see why public charging infrastructure struggling to keep up with EV adoption isn't actually the real bottleneck. The chargers already exist. They're just sitting behind driveways and gates with no way for drivers to find or book them.

That's the gap CRON is built to close — list your charger, set your own hours and price, get paid per session, no different than renting out a spare room.

If you own a home or workplace charger and have ever wondered what it's "worth" sitting idle, I'd genuinely love to hear your charger setup (connector type, hours it's idle) in the comments. Building the founding host list right now.
