Electric Vehicle Upgrade Infrastructure for Royal Chevrolet
The electric vehicle industry around the world is expanding rapidly. People are turning to vehicle options that put luxury and sustainability hand in hand. Currently, there are over 5.6 million electric vehicles worldwide!
This popularity shift is great, but it can make you wonder: How is everyone charging up?
And the answer is at electric vehicle charging stations. Rather than having to charge up at home after every journey, drivers are looking for commercial charging stations. This way they can charge their car while away from home.
Why is Commercial EV Charging Station Installation Important?
The need for commercial EV charging stations is greater now than ever. With convenient charging station locations, drivers waste less time and energy searching for places to recharge.
Installing EV charging stations at your business automatically attracts drivers who need to recharge quickly while out and about. This also emphasizes an environmentally friendly brand image for your company. So it’s a win-win– customers visit your business and recharge their EV while they’re at it.
Types of commercial EV chargers
There are 3 types of commercial EV chargers:
- Level 1– Level 1 EV chargers come with every electric vehicle upon purchase. So, they require no special installation or electrical contracting. Operating from 110 to 120 volts, you can plug this charger into a standard wall outlet at any location. However, this simplicity also means it will take 10 to 20 hours to fully charge an electric vehicle. And who actually has the time for that?
- Level 2– Considered the most practical, Level 2 EV chargers can fully charge an electric vehicle in just 3–5 hours. Like basic home appliances, Level 2 chargers utilize 240 volts of energy, like basic home appliances. They are also most safely installed by a professional electrical contractor. Consider this EV charging station your car’s most practical work or home appliance!
- Level 3– Level 3 EV chargers are the most powerful and efficient option. They are also known as Direct Current Fast Charging or DCFC chargers. This means they can fully charge vehicles in just half an hour. Level 3 chargers are primarily used in industrial and commercial spaces. This is due to their extensive installation costs and reliance on specialized electric infrastructure. However, the lasting ease is worth the hassle.
