Different utilisation levels can result in different monthly energy delivery for your franchise station.
How this number is made
120.0 kW × 720 hours in a 30-day month= 86,400 units
The absolute ceiling — every charge point busy, every hour of every day.
86,400 units × 10% utilisation= 8,640 units
The estimate at the level you have set.

Franchise station utilisation can increase as EV adoption accelerates, customer dwell time creates recurring charging habits, and highway or commercial traffic scales.
Units of energy on a 30-day month for the configured 120.0 kW station. Actual utilisation depends on location footfall, driver charging behaviour and charger availability.
Projections are illustrative.
