Frequently asked questions
What will a commercial EV charger cost me?
All commercial installs differ in size and complexity. Please contact us for a free survey and quotation.
What if I need groundwork to be undertaken before the charger can be installed?
No problem. We are an experienced building services and maintenance provider with an in-house team of civil engineers as well as OZEV accredited electricians, which means associated requirements such as protection barriers, parking space white linings and general car park alterations to suit the new EV charging point can all be taken care of.
Is it possible to have more than one charging station installed in the same location?
Yes, this is certainly possible. We are accredited installers for several well-respected manufacturers who have charging stations that allow for a number of units in a group by controlling the output of current (known as load balancing) to each station.
What is load balancing?
Load balancing is when capacity is distributed equally over all charging ports at a location.
What is smart charging?
EV smart charging dynamically adjusts the time and speed that electric cars charge based on the available power capacity, safely balancing the charging stations’ energy usage with other appliances on site. A flexible charging technology, it has proven to both stabilise the grid and lower costs.
Is it safe to leave EVs charging unattended?
Yes. The charging station will automatically stop transferring electricity to the vehicle when the car is completely charged, making it completely safe. Users also don’t have to worry about their vehicle being ‘over charged’.
What EV charger to you recommend?
We are accredited installers for several manufacturers, all of which we highly recommend and are proud to partner with. Each installation is different and there will be certain EV chargers that suit your requirements better than others. We will be able to advise on the best charger for you once we have completed a survey. The survey is of course, free.
