It isn’t just public and paid car parks installing these commercial car charging points, either. For businesses, it can be a big draw for potential customers and staff if you can offer them an electric vehicle charging station while on site.

Benefits of Commercial Electric Vehicle Charging Points

Before learning about how we can assist you with EV charging station maintenance and installation, let us first consider the advantages of incorporating these charging solutions into your business.

• Environmental Responsibility: Supporting the shift towards electric vehicles aligns with environmental goals, demonstrating your business’s commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
• Additional Revenue Stream: You can generate extra income by charging for the use of your charging points, providing a financial incentive alongside the environmental benefits.

Charging Times and Power Levels

When purchasing an electric vehicle charging point, you have various options regarding power levels, which directly affect charging speed.

The primary choices available when selecting a charging system include standard, fast, rapid, or ultra-rapid chargers.

⚡Standard (3kW power with an 8-15 hour charging time) 

May be suitable for employees at work, to provide them with partial power, or for businesses like hotels with people who stay overnight.

⚡Fast (7-22kW power with 4-6 hour charging time)

Great for environments where people spend a fair amount of time on site, for instance, if you are providing a charging point for your employees while they work.

⚡Rapid (50kW power with 30 minutes average charging time)

Great for situations where customers don’t spend much time on site, for instance, a supermarket.

⚡Ultra-Rapid (100-200 kW with around 15-20 minutes average charging time)

Great for service stations and situations where people are pushed for time and need to charge their vehicle quickly.

Of course, charging times vary based on the model of vehicle, but this is a rough guide to help with making the decision on which type of charging point to opt for.

Which Cars Work with Which Charging Points?

Most electric vehicles (EVs) are compatible with a limited range of connectors, primarily the Type 2 Mennekes connector, which is widely used across Europe and fits the majority of EVs. This universal standard simplifies charging at public stations.

However, some exceptions exist. For instance, Tesla vehicles in Europe use the Type 2 connector but also have adaptors for Tesla Supercharger stations. Additionally, connectors like CHAdeMO and CCS are used by specific manufacturers for rapid charging.

While most charging points accommodate various vehicle types, some ultra-rapid chargers may only support certain connectors. Thus, EV owners should check their vehicle’s connector type and the compatibility of charging stations along their route to ensure a smooth charging experience.

Overall, while compatibility is generally high, being informed can help prevent any inconveniences.
