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.
How our DC stations benefit your business
The benefits split at least into three categories related to the features of the commercial EV charging stations we produce:
- In-built cables. Now, your customers don’t need to carry cables to feed their cars. Be sure they will appreciate this convenience.
- Long cables. The cables are up to 7 metres long. This enables the charger to feed a car parked even at a distance of 6-7 meters from the EVSE. Another convenient option. Especially as cases of carelessly parking, when drivers occupy the space near the station to no purpose, are not unheard of.
- Connectors of all types. With our charging complexes, you can cover your customers charging needs in full. Equipped with various connector options, the complexes are compatible with any electric vehicle. No matter what chargeport it has got.
