Thinking about adding EV charging stations to your business? It’s a smart move to attract eco-conscious customers, boost foot traffic, and future proof your property.
But which type of charger is right for you, and what’s the return on investment (ROI)?
Level 2 - AC Charging: Smart, Cost-Effective Power for Your Business
Level 2 AC chargers deliver faster, customer-friendly charging (240V-400V) which is ideal for retail, offices, restaurants, or wineries. They strike the perfect balance between performance and affordability, making them a top choice for businesses.
Why Choose Level 2 AC Chargers?
-
Cost-Effective: Lower purchase and installation costs compared to DC fast chargers, allowing you to install multiple stations.
​
-
Efficient Power Use: Requires less electrical infrastructure, reducing utility demands and operational costs.
​​
-
Versatile Charging: Perfect for longer customer visits (2–4 hours) encouraging dwell time and spending or all-day employee charging.
Is Slower Charging a Drawback?
Not at all! The moderate charging speed of Level 2 AC chargers (up to 7–22 kW) is a strategic advantage for businesses. It’s ideal for:
-
Customers: Extended visits at cafes, shops, or wineries, boosting sales
​​
-
Employees: Full charges during work hours, supporting workplace EV adoption and fleets.
With Level 2 AC chargers, you can attract additional customers, enhance your brand’s sustainability, and create new revenue opportunities, all while keeping costs manageable. Power up your business with the right charging solution with Infinity:EV today!
Level 3 - DC Charging: Fast Rapid Turn-Around for Your Business
Level 3 DC chargers deliver even faster, charging which is ideal for fast turn around sites. This could be highway stops, petrol stations, fast food outlets and more. If your business intends to run a fleet of electric vehicles, especially light trucks and vans, DC charging might be the best option for you.
Why Choose Level 3 DC Chargers?
-
Faster Charging Speeds: DC charging delivers high power directly to electric vehicle batteries, enabling rapid charging (often 80% in 20-30 minutes), which attracts customers needing quick turnarounds, like fleet operators or travellers.
-
Customer Appeal and Retention: Offering DC fast chargers caters to the growing EV market, drawing in eco-conscious consumers and enhancing your brand as a forward-thinking, sustainable business, encouraging repeat visits.
-
Future-Proof Investment: DC chargers support advanced EV models and higher power demands, ensuring compatibility with future vehicles and positioning your business as a leader in the expanding EV infrastructure market.
DC Charging Drawbacks
DC fast charging, while convenient for quick EV charging, has several drawbacks:
​
-
High Installation Costs: DC charging stations are expensive with prices commonly ranging between $15,000 (25kW) to $150,000 (350kW).
​
-
Higher Maintenance Costs: Unlike AC Chargers which are considered 'static' units, DC chargers have moving parts and do require service and maintenance to ensure they serve your business reliably and efficiently.
​​
-
Grid Strain: High power demand (50–350 kW per charger) can overload local grids, especially during peak hours. This can be dealt with in various ways including installing a load management system or seeking grid upgrades. Let InfinityEV guide you through this.
