For EV charging infrastructure developers
Rhonda knows your jurisdiction.
Know the permitting path before you commit to your next charging site.
Understand the likely timeline, required approvals, submission process, local contacts, and risk. Then carry that knowledge through design, plan checking, and review.
Bring a site under consideration, an active project, or a recent permit package. We'll focus on the questions that affect schedule and capital.

◆ How It Works
From the first site screen to permit approval.
01
Start with the site and charging program.
Before you commit capital, Rhonda helps your team assess feasibility, local approvals, and the permitting risks that could affect site selection.
02
Map the local permitting path.
See which agencies review the project, how submissions work, how long approval is likely to take, and which local contacts matter.
03
Give the design team local requirements.
Rhonda provides upfront checklists and guidance for zoning, electrical, civil, fire, utility coordination, and local submission requirements.
04
Check the plan set and move through review.
Rhonda checks the design against local requirements, cites each finding, and helps your team work through review comments to approval.
◆ Why Rhonda
One permitting process across your EV charging portfolio.
01
Knows the local process beyond NEC 625.
Rhonda brings together local amendments, fire district requirements, submission steps, contacts, and review priorities for your project.
02
Surfaces site and schedule risk early.
See zoning constraints, required approvals, long review queues, and local design requirements before your schedule depends on them.
03
Brings local requirements into design.
Give the design team the right checklist up front, then check the plan set against the same jurisdiction knowledge as it develops.
04
Carries lessons across a multi-site rollout.
Keep local research, review comments, and project outcomes available for the next site instead of starting over in each jurisdiction.
◆ Built For
Built for EV charging developers with repeat projects.
Use the same source of jurisdiction knowledge across fleet depots, public charging, commercial L2, and specialized infrastructure.

◆ FAQ
Questions, answered
01 Who is Rhonda for?
Rhonda is built for commercial solar, battery energy storage (BESS), and EV charging infrastructure developers. The best fit is a team running repeat projects across jurisdictions where permit delays put schedules and capital at risk.
02 How early can we use Rhonda?
Start before you commit to a site. Rhonda supports feasibility and preplanning, then carries the same jurisdiction knowledge through design, plan checking, review comments, and permit approval.
03 What can Rhonda tell us before we choose a site?
Rhonda helps you understand feasibility, the likely approval path and timeline, required submissions, local contacts, reviewer priorities, historical precedents, and permitting risk.
04 Does predictable permitting mean a guaranteed outcome?
No. Rhonda provides a data-backed view of the expected process, timeline, requirements, and risk. Jurisdictions can change their process or make project-specific decisions, so Rhonda does not guarantee an approval date or outcome.
05 How does Rhonda know what a jurisdiction requires?
Rhonda uses official regulations, applications, checklists, local guidance, and project-specific information. Where available, public records, historical permit data, review comments, and customer outcomes add more context.
06 Where does plan checking fit?
Plan checking is a core Rhonda capability. Once a plan set exists, Rhonda checks it against applicable regulations and local requirements, finds coordination issues and missing information, and cites the drawing and regulatory source for each finding.
07 What plan sets can Rhonda check?
Rhonda checks commercial solar, BESS, and EV charging plan sets across architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing disciplines. You can run a check during design or before submission.
08 What file formats do you accept for plan checking?
PDF today. Send the same plan set you would submit to the jurisdiction.
09 Will my plans or data be used to train AI models?
No. Rhonda does not use customer plan sets, drawing sets, reports, project files, or customer-specific materials to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models unless you explicitly agree in writing. Read the full commitment in our privacy policy and terms of service.
10 Who at Rhonda can access our project data?
Only authorized Rhonda personnel with a legitimate business need, such as providing support, debugging processing issues, maintaining service reliability, securing the platform, or helping with a customer-requested review. We prohibit casual access to customer files.
11 Does Rhonda sell or share customer data?
Rhonda does not sell customer data or share it for unrelated purposes. We use customer data to provide and operate the service. Trusted providers process data only as needed to provide their services to Rhonda.
12 Will our project materials appear in demos or marketing?
No. We will not use customer plan sets, reports, screenshots, project names, client materials, or customer-identifiable materials in demos, marketing, public examples, blog posts, or sales materials without written permission.
13 Can you sign our NDA?
Yes. Send it over and we'll get it signed before you share project materials.
