Top aspects to consider when buying commercial ev stations
Understand your station needs
Choosing a commercial EV charging station that covers your business needs regarding the EVSE is highly important.
First, identify its users. It may be your employees for whom you arrange EV charging facilities. Or it may be your customers to whom you plan to provide EV charging amenities.
Second, the identification will help you better understand the required features:
- Charging speed
- Number of ports and cables
- Compatibility with a smart terminal and RFID cards, etc.
Think about your EV station location
It is also important to select the right location for your commercial electric vehicle charging stations. Here, there are at least three factors to consider.
First, you shall find a location that is convenient for the targeted users of your EV charging point. The station should be easy to find (and, thus, perfectly visible) and easy to access.
Second, the location should have a univocal affiliation to your business. For example, install the stations in proximity to your company entrance or premise.
Third, seek a cost-effective and safe place. For example, close to the existing electrical facilities but at least 2.5 metres away from any other energised equipment.

Power capacity and electricity required
Our commercial electric vehicle charging stations do not require any special high voltage input. Your existing mains provide sufficient current and voltage.
The only problem that can exist is when you reach your power limits. However, in this case, a power upgrade is typically possible, though it may take extra time to complete.
Benefit with our commercial AC stations
In-built cables of the extended length with various connectors are one of the features that distinguish our commercial EV charging stations from the EVSEs of many other brands. For your business, it means higher customer loyalty and retention as a result of the greater charging flexibility you provide them with.
Another opportunity to benefit is an advertising option you can exploit with our products. For charging complexes, we design a special casing you can use for outdoor advertising. These units have got a great stand height (which is up to 2,120 mm) and a LED backlight. Therefore, the adv you locate on the casing will be perfectly visible for a large audience. You can use the space to advertise your business. Or you can offer it for rent and monetize this advantage.
