I work for a regional arts centre and have proposed the installation of an EV charger to the management. They’ve asked me to come back with a proposal and I’m just wondering if anyone can recommend a charger that will meet our needs.
Ideally, we want a destination charger with a contactless payment facility. It will be in our car park and available to staff and the general public. We would hope to make some level of income from it which is why the contactless payment element is important.
Additionally, are there any grants available to organisations to help cover some of the initial costs?
The network fees will kill profitability. Tesla destination chargers are in my opinion the only path to break even… But you have to install 6 of them to be able to bill customers.
However you can buy 6 Tesla destination chargers with J1772 and Tesla connectors for the price of a single Chargepoint plug
