If you’ve decided that you would like to invest in electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for your business, we would first like to congratulate you on taking that first step. By 2025, 25% of auto sales will be electric, and by offering EV charging you “level up” your business’ exposure and image, while simultaneously helping to modernize your community and visibly support the health of the environment.
Before diving into the variety of EV charger brands, you may find it helpful to first decide which level of charging would be the right choice for your retail store, workplace or residential community. The two levels which are appropriate for commercial use are Level 2 and DC Fast Charging.
Level 2 chargers provide charging through a 240-volt, alternating current (AC) plug (like the ones found in typical home outlets).
Can add 12-25 range per hour (RPH), just enough “juice” to get around town
Great for situations where drivers will be parked for at least one hour, such as when shopping or dining at a restaurant
Right now, most public charging stations are Level 2
DC fast chargers convert AC power to DC within the charging station to deliver DC power directly to the battery, resulting in the faster charge.
Can charge some EVs up to 80% in only 20-30 minutes
The obvious choice for long-distance commutes and for fleet vehicles
Perfect for the driver who is short on time
Although the advantages of DC Fast Charging is clear, it is important to note that not every EV has a DC fast charging port— this is particularly true of hybrid EVs. For this reason, it is important to consider the specific needs of your customers, employees, or residents.
