The business charging station has been on the rise for years. Especially at larger supermarkets, hotel chains and multinationals (including fast food chains) you will now find a charging station that is offered to customers and guests. Many other companies have a business charging station on their own, closed terrain to charge the electric cars in their own fleet, including the EVs of employees.
Have you not yet purchased a business charging station? Then this could be a perfect time to take a look at the possibilities and benefits. There is a good chance that this is the best time to invest in business charging options at your company (or even at employees' homes).
Why is it wise to choose a business charging station?
Business charging stations offer many great advantages. We have listed some of the biggest advantages for you.
- Charging on your own property is the cheapest way to charge an EV battery.
- Easy to combine with other sustainable solutions, such as solar panels.
- Sustainable character for your company and that is attractive to the modern consumer.
- Charging options attract additional customers and guests who drive electric.
- It looks very modern in your parking lot and shows that you are moving with the times.
- Always the option to charge electric cars of staff or within your own fleet.
- You are ahead of the mandatory charging stations for larger parking lots at companies.
This is the best time to purchase a business charging station
But what makes this the best time to invest in a business charging station? It's actually quite simple. At the moment, it is not (yet) standard for a company to offer a charging station to people who visit your business. If you are one of the first companies in your sector or region, you will attract attention in a particularly positive way.
In addition, we are on the threshold of mandatory charging stations. The new regulations will come into effect in 2025. It is expected that many companies will wait until the last minute, which means that delivery problems are expected for the better charging stations and charging cables. There is also a good chance that the electrical engineers will be fully booked at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, which can cause significant delays. Especially because installing a business charging network with multiple charging stations is more complicated (literally and figuratively) than many entrepreneurs think.
If you opt for a business charging station now, you are not only ahead of developments, but also of the expected rush related to the legislation that will come into effect in 2025. If you get started now, you have much more choice and the possibility to keep to your own schedule, so that you can, for example, have the charging stations for business use installed at a time when it is not so busy within your company.
What is the difference between business and private charging solutions?
We always advise business users to opt for the stronger charging stations. There are several reasons for this. First of all, there is a good chance that you have a much heavier power connection at your company than many households. A 3-phase connection at 16A is not an exception for larger companies. This means that you can (have) charging stations installed with a much higher maximum charging capacity. This has the advantage that the average electric car can be charged within a short time. If someone is only in your company for half an hour, this still has a clear influence on the range when charging at, for example, 11 or 22 kW.
In addition, we always recommend looking at the features and options for business charging stations. A private charging station does not have to be extensive if it is placed in a garage or next to a driveway. If you use the charging station for business, there are many additional requirements that you must take into account. For example, you need a charging station with a kWh meter in order to be able to settle the costs with the provider of blue envelopes. Load balancing in the charging station is also often necessary, because the charging stations must not have a negative impact on the other devices and machines that are active in your company.
If you are planning to install a larger number of charging stations at once, there is even more to consider. In that case, it may be wise to look at charging stations with multiple connections and possibly even connect the charging stations to each other. Of course, we would be happy to personally look with you to make recommendations for your situation, so that you immediately know what the possibilities are.
