Clear answer, explained.
. The electrical assessment establishes how many chargers the existing infrastructure can support before upgrades are specified.
Key points
What this means in practice.
- Fleet charging: one Level 2 charger per two or three vehicles is typically adequate for overnight dwell times
- A Level 2 charger running 8 hours delivers roughly 50–80 km of range per vehicle session
- Employee parking charger count is based on the proportion of EV drivers in the workforce and projected growth
- Retail charger count is based on expected customer dwell time and EV adoption in the customer base
- The electrical assessment establishes how many chargers the existing infrastructure can support before upgrades are needed
- Infrastructure should be sized for projected growth — conduit and panel capacity for future chargers is more cost-effective than a full rebuild later
When this applies
Best-fit environments.
- You are planning an EV charging deployment for a commercial fleet and need to determine how many chargers to install
- You are specifying EV charging for employee parking and want to understand the right charger-to-vehicle ratio
- You are a retail or commercial real estate owner adding EV charging as a tenant or customer amenity
- You want to understand how many chargers your existing electrical infrastructure can support before upgrades are required
