DC Charger Installation

DC Electric Charging

DC charging stations provide fast electric car charging. Because installation is expensive compared with AC chargers, DC chargers are usually chosen by large scale corporations or industries that rely heavily on powering extensive fleets of electric vehicles.

Introducing DC charging into the workplace

If you are considering installing DC charging facilities at your workplace, there are a few important points you need to consider. How much space do you have? Do you have an off-grid power supply of your own? What percentage of your fleet are compatible with fast chargers?

Being able to offer rapid onsite electric charging can help attract and retain the best employees. It can provide convenience for your workforce by saving them time and enable mileage expenses to be managed more effectively.

What are DC chargers?

DC (direct current) chargers convert electricity internally to enable the power to be exchanged directly into the car’s battery, thus providing a much faster charge. In fact, DC fast chargers can charge an EV battery to 80% capacity as quickly as 20-30 minutes.

Common reasons for a company or organisation to install DC chargers include the following:

  • A high demand from drivers who need power urgently
  • Employees who regularly need access to rapid charging facilities
  • A fleet of vans consistently on the road

Benefits of DC charging points

The overall advantage of DC chargers is the high demand for convenience. DC charging is very expensive at public charging points, with costs at an all-time premium and service stations cashing in on company car drivers who travel frequently. Having them onsite provides some benefits, as outlined below:

  • Onsite access to fast and convenient charging
  • Cheaper rapid charge costs for employees and company vehicles
  • Prevent lost hours for field-based staff
  • Timesaver for longer business trips
  • Earn revenue from visitors and passers-by who are wanting to charge their vehicles
