Vehicle Charging Stations for Businesses

Electric vehicle sales are on the up and up. Most cars on the road still require gas, but it’s not hard to imagine that will be the case forever.

If your customers drive cars, your business will probably need to adapt to electric cars sooner or later. Consider adding electric car charging stations to the parking lot of your business.

How vehicle charging stations can help a business

Almost any business can benefit from the addition of at least one electric vehicle charging station, especially if your business is bricks-and-mortar.

A charging station can help you please and keep current customers, and maybe attract new customers. New customers will be able to find you on their EV charging app.  Electric-car-driving customers new and old tend to be a bit idealistic (in a good way), and so tend to be loyal to businesses that accommodate their vehicles and lifestyles.

Of course, adding a charging station also makes your business a little more environmentally-friendly. That’s important to many customers these days. 73% of “millennials” are willing to pay more for sustainability. Right now, those folks are the largest purchasing demographic.

You may also find that an electric charging station is a plus for employees – current or future. Many companies are finding the addition of EV charging stations helps them in the “talent wars”.  At the very least, it’s seen as a perk.  To the extent your hires are on the younger side, an EV charging station may be an even larger factor in where they choose to spend their working hours. 75% of “millennials” would take a pay cut just to work somewhere socially responsible.

So an electric vehicle charging station can help business. What now?

Now you’ve just got to figure out who will install your business’s car-charging station(s).

It can be a complex job for the electrician. Issues of space, power availability, and the capacity to improve power availability can affect success. Your electricians need to have done enough EV charging station installations to understand both the problems and the potential solutions.
