Where Charging Infrastructure Makes an Impact</h2>
EV charging stations serve diverse applications across multiple environments, each with unique technical and operational requirements.
Residential Charging Solutions
Home charging represents approximately 80% of all EV charging sessions. Common configurations include:
Level 1 (120V): Portable chargers (1-1.8 kW)
Level 2 (240V): Dedicated wall stations (7-19 kW)
Smart chargers: With scheduling and energy monitoring
Key considerations for residential installations:
Electrical panel capacity
Installation costs (500−500−2,000)
Utility rate structures
Potential solar integration
Commercial & Workplace Charging
Businesses are implementing charging stations for:
Employee benefits (72% of workplaces plan to install chargers)
Customer attraction (retail locations see 20-30% longer dwell times)
