    Who Benefits From Installing Commercial EV Chargers

    Commercial EV chargers are suitable for anyone seeking to lower travel costs, add a revenue stream, or provide a valuable amenity. Charging at home instead? Brda also handles home EV charger installation.

    Workplace and Office Campuses

    Workplace EV charger installation lets you offer charging as a free employee perk or set up pay-to-charge stations that recover energy costs. Level 2 units fit the long dwell times of workplace charging and keep company vehicles ready for the next shift.

    Multifamily Residential and HOAs

    Apartments, condos, and HOAs can offer EV charging as a modern amenity for residents. Level 2 chargers fit overnight parking, and the right layout depends on shared panel capacity and how parking spaces are assigned.

    Retail, Restaurants, and Shopping

    Parking area chargers enhance customer convenience and invite EV drivers to stay and shop. Level 2 suits longer visits, while DC fast charging fits high-turnover sites where drivers stop for a quick top-up.

    Hotels and Hospitality Services

    Charging stations put range anxiety to rest, removing objections to extended visits. Level 2 chargers match overnight stays, so guests leave with a full battery.

    Fleets, Depots, and Operation Yards

    Commercial charging stations offer a quickly scalable pathway to fleet electrification. Depots often pair Level 2 chargers for overnight charging with DC fast units for vehicles that need a quick turnaround between routes.

    Schools, Faith Centers, and Municipal

    EV charging stations help public and private organizations accommodate staff, visitors, and fleet vehicles. Level 2 chargers fit the workday and event schedules these sites run on.

    Categories of Commercial Chargers

    EV chargers come in one of three levels, with higher levels providing a quicker recharge. Brda Electric installs the fastest charging options, Levels 2 and 3.

    Level 2 Charging Stations

    Level 2 is the cost-effective middle ground appropriate for most applications.

    • Runs on 208V three-phase or 240V single-phase commercial power
    • Typically adds ~10–75 miles of range per hour
    • Average dwell time: 4–10 hours
    • Usually wall-mounted in covered spaces or pedestal-mounted in open lots
    • Common locations: Parking garages, employee lots, shared resident parking

    Level 3 (DC Fast) Charging Stations

    DC fast charging delivers high power for short dwell times, making it the best fit for fleets and high-traffic sites. Equipment and utility service costs run higher than Level 2.

    • Uses a 480V three-phase connection
    • Typically adds ~60–200+ miles of range in under an hour
    • Average dwell time: 20–60 minutes
    • Usually freestanding pedestals or cabinet-style units with separate power supply
    • Great for: Drivers who need a quick top-up and fleets that can’t wait for slower charging
    • Common locations: Sites near highways, high-volume retail areas, and fleet depots

    Pro tip: Networked chargers connect to a cloud platform that handles driver payment, access control, usage reporting, and load management. Our technicians can help you find the best commercial charging arrangement for your operational needs.
