Costs Associated With Non-Residential Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment: Factors to consider in the implementation of electric vehicle charging stations

This document is designed to help employers, business owners, and fleet operators understand the costs associated with installing, operating, and maintaining electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), also known as electric vehicle “charging stations.” It provides an overview of the equipment and processes needed to install EVSE and offers representative examples of cost ranges. The information presented is based on data collected from various studies around the country, as well as input from EVSE owners, manufacturers, installers, and utilities. Many plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) drivers charge their vehicles at home using residential charging located at single family homes or multi-family complexes such as apartments and condominiums. This report however, focuses on the costs of non-residential stations such as public access, workplace, and fleet stations. Increasing the number of EVSE available in these nonresidential locations can help expand the electric driving range for PEVs, as well as enable PEV ownership for drivers without access to home charging.
