An electric vehicle charging station is equipment that connects an electric vehicle (EV) to a source of electricity to recharge electric cars, neighborhood electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids. Some charging stations have advanced features such as Smart metering, cellular capability, and network connectivity, while others are more basic.

Charging stations are also called electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and are provided in municipal parking locations by electric utility companies or at retail shopping centers by private companies. These stations provide special connectors that conform to a variety of electric charging connector standards.

As demand grows for more publicly accessible charging stations, there is a greater need for equipment that supports faster charging at higher voltages and currents that are not currently available from residential ESVE. Globally, the number of electric vehicle networks is increasing to provide a system of publicly accessible charging stations for EV recharging. Governments, automakers, and charging infrastructure providers have forged agreements to create these networks. Our Commercial EV Charging Stations can make it easy to your first step at EV charging.
