COMMON EV CHARGING FAQs

  • A battery reduces peak demand charges, increases the self-use of on-site solar, and can increase usable site capacity by supporting loads that would otherwise require network upgrades.

  • Yes. When designed correctly, a battery can provide backup power to critical loads during outages, improving business continuity and resilience

  • Yes for many businesses, particularly those with high demand charges, constrained electrical supply, or rising energy costs. Batteries often defer expensive network upgrades while delivering ongoing savings.

  • Most commercial battery systems are designed to operate for 10–15 years, depending on usage patterns and cycling frequency.

  • Yes. Systems can be designed for staged expansion as energy demand, solar capacity, or operational needs grow.

    • Typical Cost: 15-30 cents per kWh, depending on your electricity plan.

    • Example: A 50 kWh battery will cost $7.50-$15 to fully charge.

    • Charging during off-peak times reduce costs further.

    • Charging with solar power will dramatically decrease the cost of charging to in most scenarios $0.

  • Most homes can support a Level 2 charger, but an electrician may need to:

    • Install a new circuit or upgrade the electrical panel.

    • Ensure your home meets safety regulations for high-power appliances.

    • EV charging adds to your electricity consumption, but savings from lower fuel costs typically offset this.

    • On average, charging an EV costs 60-70% less than fueling a petrol car.

    • Charging with Solar will in most cases reduce the above numbers significantly when charging during the day or at night via battery storage

    • Charge during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower.

    • Use solar energy if available.

    • Opt for an energy plan tailored for EV owners with time-of-use rates.

    • Yes, but the electrical panel must support the total power draw.

    • Some smart chargers can share power between two vehicles to avoid overloading circuits.
