Commercial Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations are becoming ubiquitous, popping up in parking lots, theaters, retail establishments, gas stations, and more! With an increasing number of Teslas and similar electric model cars hitting the road, there are now over 66,000 public EV charging stations across the US.

This surge of interest is driven by car manufacturers’ commitment to developing electric vehicle offerings. Businesses can capitalize on this trend by taking advantage of incentives and rebates for commercial EV charging stations.

Who Can Benefit from Commercial EV Charging Stations?

Installing commercial EV charging stations can benefit various types of businesses:

Workplaces: Offering a charging station helps attract EV drivers as employees. According to a recent survey by the U.S. Department of Energy, 80% of employers with an EV charging station report that it has helped them attract and retain more talent.

Business Districts and Shopping Centers: Public parking lots, business districts, shopping centers, restaurants, and malls can install commercial EV charging stations to attract shoppers and increase foot traffic.

Service Locations: Public buildings, hospitals, and universities are often working towards sustainability goals and can receive various utility and government incentives for installing EV charging stations, making it a financially sound decision.

Multifamily Housing: Apartment buildings, condominiums, and other multifamily buildings can install EV charging stations to increase their property value and appeal to prospective residents with electric vehicles.

With more states investing in a national charging network as part of infrastructure initiatives, the demand for EV charging stations is set to grow further.

What Kind Of EV Charging Station Do You Need?

EV charger options vary by charging speed:

Level I Charging Stations: These are the slowest and most cost-effective options, suitable for workplaces where employees can charge their cars for up to 8 hours at a time.

Level II EV Charging Stations: These are the most common for commercial sites, charging cars 4 – 5 times more quickly than Level I chargers.

Level III Charging Stations (DC Fast Chargers): These fill up batteries fast but are more expensive and may not be compatible with all electric vehicles.
