Commercial EV Charging Solutions: A Guide for Businesses and Property Owners

Electric vehicle charging is becoming an increasingly important consideration for businesses, commercial property owners and asset managers.

As more employees, tenants, customers and visitors drive electric vehicles, providing convenient access to charging can help properties adapt to changing transportation needs while adding a valuable amenity.

But installing commercial EV charging involves more than simply purchasing charging stations. Businesses need to consider charger selection, electrical infrastructure, installation, permitting, ongoing management, maintenance, billing and how their charging needs could change over time.

That’s where a complete commercial EV charging solution can make the difference.

JuiceNet Commercial EV Charging Solutions help businesses and property owners navigate the entire process, from initial site evaluation to installation and ongoing charger management.

 

What Is a Commercial EV Charging Solution?

Commercial EV charging refers to charging infrastructure installed at properties such as:

• Office buildings and workplaces

• Retail centers

• Hotels and hospitality properties

• Apartment and condominium communities

• Commercial parking facilities

• Auto dealerships

• Mixed-use developments

• Business campuses

• Fleet locations

• Other commercial properties

Unlike a typical residential installation, a commercial EV charging project may involve multiple charging stations, electrical infrastructure upgrades, utility coordination, permitting, payment systems and ongoing charger management.

JuiceNet provides a turnkey approach designed to simplify that process.

 

Turnkey Commercial EV Charger Installation

One of the biggest challenges businesses face when considering EV charging is figuring out how all the pieces fit together.

JuiceNet’s commercial EV charging services can help manage the process from beginning to end.

Commercial projects can include:

Site Evaluation & Utility Coordination

Before chargers are installed, the property and existing electrical infrastructure need to be evaluated. JuiceNet helps determine the charging requirements of the property and coordinates the infrastructure necessary to support the installation.

Permitting, Procurement & Installation

Commercial EV charger installations may require permits, equipment procurement and electrical work. JuiceNet helps coordinate these steps as part of the project.

Charger Monitoring & Maintenance

Installing chargers is only the beginning. Commercial charging equipment needs to remain operational and available to the drivers who depend on it.

Usage Analytics, Billing & Monetization

Property owners may also want visibility into charger usage, electricity consumption and payments. JuiceNet provides tools designed to help businesses manage their charging infrastructure after installation.

Commercial Level 2 EV Charging Stations

Level 2 charging can be well suited for commercial properties where vehicles remain parked for extended periods.

That can include employees parked at an office during the workday, residents parked overnight at an apartment community, customers visiting a business or vehicles spending time at an auto dealership.

JuiceNet offers multiple commercial Level 2 EV charging stations, including commercial charging hardware from ChargePoint.

 

ChargePoint CP6000 Level 2 Charging Station

The ChargePoint CP6000 Level 2 Charging Station is one of the commercial EV charging solutions available through JuiceNet.

The CP6000 is designed for commercial applications where businesses and property owners need reliable charging infrastructure combined with connected charging capabilities.

It can be considered for workplaces, commercial properties, multifamily communities and other locations looking to deploy Level 2 EV charging at scale.

For businesses planning a new charging installation, selecting equipment that can accommodate both current usage and future charging demand is an important part of building a long-term EV infrastructure strategy.

EV Charging for Workplaces

Workplace EV charging gives employees the ability to charge while their vehicles are already parked for several hours.

For employers, adding workplace EV charging stations can provide an additional employee amenity while preparing the property for increased EV adoption.

A workplace installation can start with a smaller number of chargers and be planned around the property’s expected future charging requirements.

JuiceNet can help evaluate the site, coordinate installation and provide the tools needed to manage the chargers once they’re operating.

 

EV Charging for Apartments and Condos

Multifamily properties face a different challenge.

Residents who don’t have access to their own garage or electrical outlet may have limited options for charging an EV at home.

Installing EV charging stations for apartments and condos can give residents access to charging where their vehicles already spend the most time: at home.

For property owners and managers, EV charging can also become another amenity used to attract and retain residents.

JuiceNet provides commercial EV charging solutions that can be adapted for apartments, condominiums and other multifamily properties.

 

EV Charging for Retail and Commercial Properties

Commercial EV charging isn’t limited to workplaces and residential properties.

Retail centers, restaurants, hotels and other destinations can provide charging while customers are already visiting their businesses.

Charging can increase the usefulness of the property for EV drivers while helping businesses prepare for a transportation market increasingly influenced by electric vehicles.

Commercial properties can also determine how chargers are made available and whether drivers are charged for their use.

 

Commercial EV Charging for Auto Dealerships

The transition toward electric vehicles is also changing the infrastructure needs of auto dealerships.

Dealerships may need EV charging for inventory, test drives, service departments, employees and customers.

Commercial charging equipment such as the ChargePoint CPF50 gives dealerships a dedicated Level 2 charging solution designed for commercial use.

Rather than treating chargers as an afterthought, dealerships can incorporate EV charging into their overall property infrastructure as electric vehicle inventories continue to expand.

 

Can Businesses Charge Drivers to Use EV Chargers?

Commercial EV charging can be more than an amenity.

JuiceNet combines charging hardware with software that allows businesses to manage how their chargers are used.

EV drivers can locate available JuiceNet chargers and reserve and pay for charging through the JuiceNet mobile app.

That creates an opportunity for participating commercial properties to make their chargers available beyond their immediate tenants or employees while gaining greater utilization from charging equipment that might otherwise sit unused.

 

Planning for Future EV Charging Demand

One of the most important considerations when installing commercial EV chargers is not simply how many chargers a property needs today.

It’s what the property may need several years from now.

Businesses should consider:

• Current EV charging demand

• Expected future demand

• Available electrical capacity

• Number of parking spaces

• Typical vehicle dwell time

• Charger placement

• Accessibility

• Billing requirements

• Maintenance

• Opportunities to expand the installation later

Planning these factors early can help businesses create EV charging infrastructure that is easier to expand as demand increases.
