Electric vehicles (EVs) aren’t just coming—they’re already here. With growing demand from employees, visitors, and community members, Owners are facing questions about whether to install charging stations, how much they cost, and what’s required. The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Start with Strategy

Before picking a charger, you need a plan. Who’s using it—staff, fleet, or the public? Is this a perk or part of a long-term sustainability goal? That answer determines whether you need Level 2 or Level 3 chargers, and how complex the install will be.

Understand the Power Needs (and Rate Risks)

• Level 2: Best for long stays. ~$10K per charger, lower utility demand.
• Level 3: Fast but pricey. ~$50K+, and can push your building into a more expensive utility rate class (e.g., AES Indiana SL rate).
  Your utility may offer incentives, but you must plan for demand charges and infrastructure upgrades.

Think Infrastructure Early

Install locations affect cost. Level 2s can often run from the main electrical room. Level 3s may require new pads, trenching, transformers, and utility coordination. Delays can be long without early engagement.

Consider Signage, Safety & Software

• Bollards protect the units from vehicles and snowplows.
• Software determines how users pay and whether fleet cards work.
• Plug types (e.g., NACS, CCS, CHAdeMO) must match your users’ needs.

Don’t Miss Out on Incentives
Local utilities and federal programs offer rebates but timelines and requirements vary. We can help you sort through them before you commit.
