EV Charging Station Considerations
Level of Electricity
Most charging stations use amps as the measurement for how fast an electric vehicle will charge.
Plugged In or Hard-Wired
There are two options for EV charging: one that plugs into a 240-volt wall outlet, and one that is hard-wired using an interior electrical connection.
Storage Location
The application for electric vehicles determines the storage location for charging stations.
Government Tax Credits
A certified EV charging station provider and installer is aware of government tax credits, rebates and associated incentives.
Internet Connectivity
EV charging stations are best managed by a manufacturer app in which Internet connectivity is an important requirement.
Cabling to Suit
Most EV charging station manufacturers offer both 16 and 25 foot chargers. The length of cable is usually based on where your electric vehicle(s) are parked.
EV Fleet Charging for Business
It’s never too early to position your business for commercial and passenger EVs. Leveraging EVs for your business is both eco-friendly and cost-efficient, making EV adoption a great long-term choice.
However, your business requires EV charging infrastructure in order to power your fleet. EV fleet charging involves the hardware, software, installation and management services that support EV charging across a large number of vehicles.
The Benefits of EV Fleet Charging for Business
Building an EV fleet is a large investment that pays off both for the environment and your wallet. Some reasons why fleet charging is advantageous for business include:
- Transitioning to an EV fleet can lower costs in the long term (up to 15-25% reduced ownership costs compared to traditional vehicles).
- Having an EV fleet may become a competitive advantage for your customer base.
- EV fleets may support new connectivity features in the future, leading to value opportunities.
- EV fleets can enhance your business’ sustainability goals.
