Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Level 2 and DC fast charging for businesses?
Level 2 chargers (6-19 kW) are ideal for workplace and customer charging where vehicles park for 2+ hours. DC fast chargers (50-350 kW) suit highway locations, fleet depots, and high-turnover retail. Most businesses start with Level 2 and add DC fast as demand grows.
Can I charge employees or customers for using the chargers?
Yes. Most networks offer flexible pricing — per kWh, per hour, or per session. Many businesses offer free charging as an employee benefit or customer amenity, then monetize as usage grows. You control pricing through a network management dashboard.
How do I choose the right charging network?
Key factors include hardware cost, network fees (typically 10-20% of revenue), driver app coverage, fleet management tools, and customer support. ChargingNear.me lists all major networks so you can compare options.
