Choosing a station for your office parking
The entire world is going green. And if you have not got EV charging facilities on your office parking yet, it is high time to take the bull by the horns. In other words, it is high time to install an EVSE there.
In this post, we will discuss what aspects you need to pay attention to when choosing an appliance that is right for your case. Our general advice here is to take into account all possible scenarios of station usage and opt for powerful solutions.
Choose a station with built-in cables
When it comes to EV charging cables, there are two options on the market. To clarify, some EV solutions go with built-in cables and other ones have got only charging ports.
When the latter is the case, the EV drivers have to use their own portable charging cable to feed their cars. For public places, this is highly inconvenient as it increases the time the users take to plug in their cars and, thus, use an EVSE.
So, when you buy a commercial EV charging station for your office parking, choose the one with built-in cables.
Choose a station with several charging cables
Depending on the EV charger layout scheme, up to four cars can be parked around it. So, why not let four EV drivers feed their cars at the same time?
In theory, to cover their charging needs you can install four EV chargers with one cable in each. However, in reality, this practice is often unfeasible due to higher installation costs and other factors. Therefore, we recommend you choosing the EVSE that goes with three, four, or even more charging cables.
Equip a station with various connector types
The matter is, you never know what exact charge port each exact parking user has got or will have got. Therefore, the best idea is to cover all possible cases. That is to say, to choose an EV charging with all common types of connectors:
- Type 1 and Type 2 for AC charging
- CHAdeMO and CCS for DC charging
Besides, if possible, opt for a station with two or more Type 2 connectors. To clarify, this is a widely used connector type. So, the station can serve two or more cars with Type 2 charge ports simultaneously.
To conclude, when choosing a station for your office parking, choose a reliable manufacturer. Someone like us. Visit our online shop. Here, you will find a wide range of EV charging stations and complexes with up to five built-in cables and all common connector types.
