AEVA releases destination charging guide
AEVA has released a destination charging guide to assist accommodation and tourism businesses with providing EV charging for their customers.
With over 350,000 EVs now on Australian roads, destination charging is an important part of the charging ecosystem that must expand to meet driver demand.
Destination charging involves placing relatively slower and cheaper EV charging at journey destinations. A motel might, for example, provide charging points for guests to use that are not fast, but fast enough to fully re-charge a vehicle overnight.
“These facilities are so convenient that EV drivers prefer to stay in accommodation venues that offer them. This also relieves congestion on the highway charging network”, said Acting National President Jo Oddie.
The guide walks businesses through the decision-making steps, explaining the benefits to the business, the types of charging equipment a business could install, how to price the service to recover electricity costs, and some of the considerations that are site-specific.
