EV adoption is growing every day with charging infrastructure growing every year<\/a>. Despite the growing demand, EV drivers are still spending time finding a good place to park. Parking lot operators can add substantial revenue<\/a> by tapping into the demand for charging stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding EV charging stations to your garage or parking lot is easier said than done. It’s a smart decision, but it’s a big one. There are lots of providers out there – but how do you choose the right EV charging solutions? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, I’ll walk through and compare some of the most popular EV chargers so you can make the right decisions for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Chargers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EV providers offer three main types of chargers: <\/strong>a) home chargers<\/strong>, b) public (level 2) chargers<\/strong>, and c) DC fast chargers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home chargers<\/strong> are usually level 2 chargers that operate at 240V. These are generally sold for home use<\/strong> and designed for overnight charging<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Level 2 chargers <\/strong>are commonly found in public shopping centers, parking garages, and apartment complexes. (If you’re the owner\/operator of a commercial garage, this is the type you’ll likely install). They charge faster than home chargers<\/strong> but still take a few hours to reach a full charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DC fast chargers<\/strong> achieve the fastest charging speeds <\/strong>and are designed for highway and fleet charging. Tesla’s Supercharger network is an example. These stations can almost fully charge a vehicle in around 30 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provider #1: ChargePoint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ChargePoint<\/strong><\/a> is the largest and most popular EV charging network in North America<\/strong>, boasting over 31,000 locations and more than 50,000 charging ports. What I like about ChargePoint is that it’s compatible with most electric vehicles, and it’s a name that EV owners will almost instantly recognize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other providers, they offer software to help parking operators manage pricing and monitor the health of their stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
