EV Charging Solutions for Parking Facilities

Commercial EV charging stations are electric vehicle chargers installed in parking garages, parking lots, and other parking facilities. These stations allow EV owners to recharge their vehicles conveniently while their cars are parked.

Installing EV charging stations can attract more customers, particularly EV owners, increase revenue through charging fees, and enhance the facility’s reputation as eco-friendly. It also helps meet the growing demand for EV infrastructure.

Parking facilities typically benefit from both Level 2 and Level 3 chargers. Level 2 chargers are ideal for locations where vehicles are parked for extended periods, while Level 3 chargers, also known as DC fast chargers, are suitable for quick charging needs.

Level 2 chargers use a 240-volt power supply and can fully charge an EV in several hours. Level 3 chargers, or DC fast chargers, use a higher voltage and can charge an EV to 80% in approximately 30 minutes, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
