Level 2 charging solutions are ideal for long dwell time locations

Studies show about 85% of all EV charging is done at extended stay locations such as where you sleep or work. Level 2 charging solutions are best from a usage, infrastructure, and cost perspective.

Is your Level 2 property listed here?

Level 2 charging is mostly for high dwell time (2+ hrs) locations such as:

Entertainment Venues

Colleges

Hospitals

Apartments and Condos (MUDs)

Hotels

Workplace

Parking Lots & Garages

Small Businesses

Level 2 charging for colleges, apartments, entertainment, hospitals, condos, workplace, hotels, parking garages

How Long Do People Stay at Your Property?

Determine what type of Level 2 charger is needed based on how long the driver stays at your location.

Which Level 2 charger type is right for your property?

Today's vehicles charge at an average rate of 3.5-4 miles per kWh added. Typically, EV drivers do not let the battery drain below 30-60 miles of range, thus a “sweet spot” for a charge is about 150 miles to maintain a “full charge.” The chart below displays the “sweet spot” in blue for each charger type.

Also consider that faster charging tends to yield higher revenue for the charging station host particularly if the rate is based on an amount per kWh. EV drivers will keep the vehicle charging until either the charge is full, or they need to leave, whichever comes first.

Another consideration regarding AC charging is that most EVs today have a maximum AC charge rate of between 32A to 48A. All Tesla brand EVs have 48A or greater on-board AC charging. Higher-end EV’s tend to have higher charging rates. In addition, the charger’s maximum output will depend on single phase (residential) or three phase (commercial) electrical service. Single phase voltage (240v) will provide higher kW output while three phase voltage (208) will reduce the charger’s capacity by 13%.

Future-proof Hardware

Now you can confidently select from the most appropriate EVSE equipment that fits your budget and functionality needs. Furthermore, because AmpedUp's platform and controllers use open source, widely accepted communication protocols, you can rest assured it will work with new equipment you may need down the road.
