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?
be aware that in order to make money with such a charger you will need to set the price quite a bit higher than what you are paying.
you will also be paying some 3rd party a share of everything because someone needs to handle the billing and payments.
overall everyone should be aware that such a charger will most likely never recoup its cost, especially not if its a level 2 charger.
