car charging station on a city street

It’s no secret that the electric car industry has had a huge surge in popularity worldwide. More and more drivers are becoming conscious of the impact their cars have on the environment, and with a surge in demand for electric vehicles. With more electric cars on the road, there has never been a greater need for commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. There are enormous benefits to installing an EV charging station at your property, including attracting new business, improving your standing as an industry leader, and retaining valuable tenants and clients.

Where Are Charging Stations Installed?

Central business districts, downtown areas, parking garages, shopping malls and other high-traffic areas are all ideal locations for public EV charging stations. EV drivers appreciate public parking that offers charging while they run into a store or have a stroll around town because EVs charge while parked. Charging stations near restaurants, shopping centers or shopping districts encourage drivers to stay longer and allow their vehicles to charge, increasing sales and foot traffic at your business, property or city center.

Workplaces and housing communities are also offering private charging stations for employees and residents to use. It’s where they spend most of their time, so having the option to charge at one’s residence or place of work will attract EV-driving employees, clients and tenants.

How Does Installation Work?

There’s a number of factors that determine how charging stations will be installed at your business, property or public space, including available electrical service, site location, data connectivity, materials, labor, and permits. If the building or location is new build, you may already have the required infrastructure for installation, but older buildings may need renovations to be compatible. Our Team Cam professionals can assess your site and determine the steps you’ll need to take to install your charging stations.

In many states, new regulations require that any new commercial construction or multi-unit residential construction, such as apartment complexes, must include EV charging stations. In all of these cases, tax rebates and other incentives may exist to help cover some of the cost of installation for EV charging stations.
