This guide provides general information. Confirm the exact vehicle, charger datasheet, site conditions and current local requirements before purchase or installation.
A good stop is more than a charger
Drivers need safe entry and exit, clear parking, lighting, toilets, food and a reliable place to wait. A site with useful amenities and suitable access may be more attractive than a charger in an inconvenient location.
Assess the electrical connection
DC fast charging can require significant power. Check the sanctioned load, distance to the point of supply, utility upgrade needs, transformer and distribution scope before selecting a charger rating.
Model demand conservatively
Estimate traffic, conversion to charging sessions, average energy sold and seasonality. Test low, base and high utilization scenarios and include electricity, land, staffing, maintenance and downtime in the business model.
