Making the
Hard Decisions Easier - What You Need to Know Before You
Install a Public Charging System
Whether you are adding a charging station on an existing
site, or designing it into a new location, you need to
take into account some extremely important factors. If
you do, you’ll spend your money wisely.
Here are the critical
considerations you need to make before installing a
charging system. Call us and we’ll answer any other
questions you have.
- PRELIMINARY
ANALYSIS-Contemplating the Decision to Install a
Charging System
To
help ensure that you’re making the best use
of your dollars, Edison EV starts by helping you
through a preliminary evaluation of the site
you’re considering. At that early stage, we
answer questions like ...
- How much traffic does
your site get? How long does the average
person park their car at your site?
- Do your employees need
access to a charging site?
- Are you visible from
the freeway or near a freeway?
- Is the location secure
and well lit?
- Do the demographics of
your customers or employees match those
of EV buyers?
- SITE INSPECTION-Moving
Toward the Decision to Install a Charging System
Once you’ve determined that
your location passes the preliminary analysis
criteria, we will start looking more closely at
the particulars of your site. Why?
Startup costs in this industry are reasonable. It is possible to start a vending machine route for less than a few thousand dollars. The work of a Vending machines business operator can be divided into two basic areas. As a vending machine business owner you can choose to work by yourself, with a partner or hire teams to work for you Because we want you to make
the smartest financial decisions. A typical
public charging installation including two
inductive chargers, and wiring for two additional
chargers, costs an average of $20,000. The cost
of a single charger installation, including the
charger, is typically around $6,000. Installation
costs vary depending on a number of factors,
including and the distance to availability of
power, labor, type of charging equipment, permits
and local ordinances.
That means that it’s
critical to evaluate your site before you begin.
Edison EV site inspectors and contractors will be
there with you, to provide their insights,
installation experience, and, if you wish, to
prepare a fixed price bid to complete the
installation for you.
- ESTIMATE AND
PRESENTATION-Preparing for the Go/No-Go Decision
Following our survey of your site,
you’ll receive a professional presentation
of our proposal to complete your project, and we
will provide you with a fixed-bid estimate.
We’ll give you all the
resources our experienced staff and our
contractors can offer, but you make the
final decision, without any pressure from us. As
you go through your decision-making process,
we’ll be a phone call away to answer any
questions that might come up.
- INSTALLATION
When it’s time to install your
charging station, we’ll handle all of the
details. We’ll take care of local permits
and site inspections. And we’ll work within your
schedule so you can concentrate on more important
things - like your business.
We’ll also work to
give you the best design for your site. If
you’re building a new site, we’ll
provide the technical expertise you need to build
in charging facilities - and at considerably less
cost than adding them later.
- FOLLOW-UP
Our involvement doesn’t end
with the installation. When your charging
installation is complete, Edison EV supports you
with system operation training, a welcome kit and
suggestions for publicity and marketing
opportunities.
