Unlocking Insights: Key Questions to Ask When Ordering AC Charging Stations

How do you determine the right amount of charging stations needed for your property?

Step 1: Assess the property's needs.

Assess the property's parking capacity, the average length of stay for patrons or visitors, and the number of electric vehicles in the surrounding area.

Step 2: Choose the appropriate charging level.

Consider the average length of stay and decide what charging level is most appropriate for the property. Level 1 chargers provide 2–5 miles per hour of charging, Level 2 chargers provide 10-20 miles per hour of charging, and Level 3 chargers provide 60-80 miles per hour of charging.

Step 3: Calculate the number of charging stations.

Divide the number of parking spots by the number of charging outlets per station. For example, if there are 50 parking spots and the charging station has two charging outlets per station, you would need 25 charging stations.

What factors should be considered when selecting a charging station vendor?

Step 1: Research vendors.

Research vendors to identify their past performance, credentials, experience, references, and reputation.

Step 2: Evaluate product quality and features.

Evaluate the charging stations to ensure they meet the latest safety standards, are compatible with multiple EV models, have user-friendly features, and provide easy-to-use payment options.

What should you consider when planning for installation?

Step 1: Determine the installation location.

Evaluate the available electrical capacity, identify the location for the charging stations based on convenience and accessibility, and determine the parking lot's layout.

Step 2: Plan for electrical power.

Evaluate the electrical requirements and ensure that they can be met by the property, or work with the local utility to upgrade the electrical infrastructure.

Step 3: Plan for the installation process.

Work with the vendor to prepare a detailed plan for the installation process, including timelines, cost estimates, and any required permits.

What should you consider for ongoing maintenance and support?

Step 1: Determine maintenance needs.

Assess the property's usage patterns to identify maintenance requirements, which may include cleaning, technical support, general repairs, and software updates.

Step 2: Evaluate support options.

Evaluate the vendor's support options, such as on-call support, remote assistance, and on-site support.
