With more and more people making the switch, it might be time to consider installing EV car charging points for your business. Paradigm are your local commercial EV charging point installers in Oxford.
The electric vehicle car market is growing rapidly, by the end of October there was an estimate of over 590,000 electric cars on UK roads and even more plug-in models. Now to keep up with the growing demand, business should start doing their bit to be more environmentally friendly.
Types of chargers:
You may be wondering what type of charger would be best suited to your business. Whether it’s an office building, shopping centre or motorway service station, there’s a charger that can accommodate.
Standard – These chargers are what is considered the most basic, they operate at 3kW and have an average charging time of 8-14 hours. That may seem like a long time however if your business requires people to be there for a longer period it’s a pretty good option. Now due to the low power used for these chargers, there will be less pressure put onto your electricity bill compared to the faster chargers. A good example of where these chargers would be beneficial is a workplace or office building where people are parked for a full working day.
Fast – Operating at a rate of anywhere from 7-22kW and charging in the range of 4-6 hours these are a great option if you need to offer slightly faster charging. Somewhere like a shopping centre, or dedicated charging point would be best suited for fast chargers.
Rapid & Ultra Rapid – Rapid chargers are very impressive; they operate at a rate starting from 50 kW to 200 kW and can take from 30 to as little as 10 minutes to charge a car. These types of chargers would of course add a lot of extra pressure on your electricity bills, so the business would need to be in a strong place financially and have adequate electrical infrastructure in place. These types of chargers are commonly used for motorway services.
Here at Paradigm, we can help you choose which charger would be best suited to your business, as part of the installation process we will first visit the site and ensure its suitable for charging point installation and then talk through which would be best suited for the business and of course the people using them.
