Where Can EV Charging Stations be Installed?

Apartments & Condos

Public charging stations are popping up everywhere, but for many EV drivers, there’s nothing like knowing they can charge their vehicles at night and start the day with a full charge.  For apartment complex property managers and condo associations across the country, offering on-site EV charging has become a real selling point that helps keep residency numbers - and tenant satisfaction - up where they need to be.

Commercial Fleets

As companies begin transitioning their vehicle fleets to electric vehicles, they need a partner who can help prepare their electrical infrastructure to accommodate the demand the new vehicles will create. Businesses with commercial fleets need to consider the size of their fleet, number of vehicles, and the downtime of their vehicles. FSG can help create an EV charger plan that fits your fleet.

Auto Dealerships

Auto Dealerships must be ready for the electric vehicle future. By installing EV charging infrastructure you are future-proofing your auto dealership. You can make sure the EV's in your showroom are always charged up and ready for a test drive, as well as educate potential EV drivers on the benefits of these vehicles. See how FSG helped this multi-site automotive dealership here.

Municipal & Public Parking

Local municipalities are eager to attract visitors to their business and tourist districts, and the installation of commercial EV charging stations is one way to let people know they are welcome.  City parking facilities and local government offices and civic buildings like public libraries are also popular locations for EV charging stations.

Shopping Centers & Retail

Retail businesses depend on foot traffic, and shoppers value convenience. Installing EV chargers provides a place for shopping to charge their electric vehicles. An added benefit for retailers involves the fact that shoppers will be incentivized to linger a bit longer than normal when they know their cars are being charged outside.

Hospitality Businesses

Businesses in the hospitality industry should consider installing EV charging stations as an amenity for EV driving customers. Hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and recreational facilities are all places where customers spend a greater length of time. EV drivers are more likely to choose your business if they can charge their vehicles at your property.

Public & Commercial EV Charging Station Services

From design to planning, installation, and ongoing maintenance, FSG is the ideal partner for your next commercial electric charging station project.

FSG is ready to handle the planning and execution of local and national roll-outs of brand new or expanded EV charging stations.  We support all types of EV charging stations, including Tesla, and are currently involved in expanding the nationwide network of over 115,000 dedicated EV charging stations at commercial locations including auto dealerships, hospitals, universities, retail malls, grocery stores, and local municipalities.

How do I get power to my station location?

Every location comes with its own set of unique challenges.  Often, running power to new or expanded commercial EV charging stations simply involves branching off existing electrical infrastructure that is already appropriately sized to service the new charging station. In other cases, additional electrical infrastructure such as higher capacity transformers and switchgear are required.

In almost all cases, additional infrastructure work is required, including:

  • Installation of conduits and connectors
  • Trenching
  • Parking lot remediation after installation, including re-striping
  • Signage and parking lot wayfinding elements

How Much do Commercial EV Charging Stations Cost?

In 2022, the average (Level 2) EV charging station installation costs approximately $6,000 per port.  However, several factors can impact the final cost for facility owners.  These factors include equipment, installation, software, and other issues including the impact of incentives and rebates.

Equipment

As with any equipment you might buy, there are choices in the brand and model of EV charging station equipment available to purchase today.  FSG represents only the best and most reliable brands of EV charging ports and associated equipment, and the volume of equipment we distribute means we are able to get the best available prices for you. 

Software

Many of the latest commercial EV charging stations come with IoT and remote monitoring and control features, all controlled by software that can be purchased with your new EV charging station.  If your new station includes this functionality, there will be associated costs for this software. 

Installation

Not all installations are the same.  Some EV charging station installation jobs involve short connections to existing electrical equipment with plenty of existing capacity.  Other installations, however, involve the upgrade of existing electrical infrastructure, or perhaps a long run of conduit across large parking lots with lots of excavation and remediation involved. We will show you all project costs up front.

Rebates & Incentives

There are a number of current federal tax credits as well as state and local incentives that can dramatically reduce the overall project costs for you.  At FSG, we make it our business to stay current on every available rebate or credit that might make owning your own commercial EV charging station possible NOW. More on that below.

Tax Credits & financing

Incentives and rebates at the local, state, and federal levels offset the costs associated with setting up your own commercial EV charging station.

In 2022, businesses can deduct up to 30% from their federal income tax for costs incurred from purchasing an EV charging station. Additionally, individual states provide incentives. A company can take a deduction on its state income tax (where applicable) and apply for various credits or grants.

Finally, local organizations and governments in cities across the country currently offer monetary incentives for facility owners interested in purchasing commercial EV charging stations.
