A Level 2 charger is suitable for any situation where a driver is going to spend an hour or more at your workplace. Employees, visitors, even potential recruits, can all benefit from a quick, convenient recharge.
Chargers at your workplace or destination can be used to recharge:
- EVs owned by visitors to your organisation or destination.
- EVs owned by current and prospective employees.
- EVs that form part of your organisation’s fleet.
Your benefits can add up with Charge Up
Recharge your visitors’ EVs
Attract new visitors: EV drivers who have not visited your site previously may consider attending your organisation / destination due to the availability of charging onsite. If this is an outcome you wish to achieve, ensure your charger is available on websites such as PlugShare.
Enhance your visitor experience: Providing a charger supports existing and established visitors to your business who own an EV or who are looking to make the switch to an EV.
Increase visit length: EV drivers may stay longer at your location if charging is available, enabling you to benefit from extra business.
Promote your destination or organisation: EV drivers typically use a few different methods to determine where EV chargers are located, including general online maps, online EV charging location maps, vehicle dashboard interfaces, EV charger apps, and word of mouth. Your inclusion as an EV charging option is a way to increase the visibility of your business, destination or region.
Recharge your employees’ EVs
Workplace EV charging is a great way to demonstrate your organisation is committed to promoting sustainable practices. The availability of EV charging may be offered by a workplace as an employee benefit to both existing and prospective employees.
Recharge your fleet EVs
Level 2 chargers can be used to charge electric fleet vehicles. Whether Level 2 charging is right for your organisation depends on how your fleet vehicles are used and where they are parked while not in use:
- If your organisation has fleet vehicles, including pool vehicles that are only used occasionally throughout the day (i.e., they typically spend the majority of the working day at the organisation’s premises) your fleet vehicle(s) may be suitable for Level 2 daytime charging.
- If your organisation has fleet vehicles used during the day and stored at the workplace overnight (such as at a depot), they may be suitable for Level 2 off-peak night-time charging.
- Take-home fleet vehicles that are used heavily throughout the day may have limited benefit from a workplace Level 2 charger.
