Commercial EV Charging
Charging into a clean energy future.
Curious about how commercial EV charging works? Here are the key components of a commercial EV charging installation:
Pick your perfect station
-
Level 1:
Plugs into a standard 120-volt AC outlet. Ideal for overnight charging at home. Approximate time for a full charge is between 17 and 24 hours. -
Level 2:
Uses a 240-volt AC outlet. Faster charging, perfect for businesses. Approximate time for a full charge is between 4 and 7 hours. -
Level 3 (DC Fast Charging):
Direct current, high-power output (480 volts or more). Rapid charging for busy areas. Approximate time for 80% charge is 20 minutes, and full charge is 1 hour.
Other components
- Electrical infrastructure
- Charging stations require electrical infrastructure like transformers, electrical panels, and wiring to support the power needs of the chargers.
- Software
- Software and networking encompass network connectivity for remote monitoring, maintenance, and updates; user interfaces like mobile apps or RFID cards for locating, accessing, and paying for charging; and backend management that provides analytics, usage reports, and billing integration for property owners.
Each commercial charging installation will combine these components in a unique way, based on the specific requirements and goals of the project. Interested in custom EV charging at your organization? Schedule a site visit with our team to get started.
