Choosing the right electric car chargers

It is important that you choose the right electric car chargers that can charge at a speed that is suited to a typical dwell time for your location. Below is a rough guide that will help you:

Location	Estimated Dwell time	Suggested charger in kW
Residential parking	6 – 10 hours	7kW
Residential on-street	6 – 10 hours	7kW
Hospitality or sports venue	2 – 5 hours	22kW
Tourist attraction	2 – 5 hours	22kW
Retail or public car park	2 – 5 hours	22kW
Retail store	1 hour	25kW DC +
Service station	30 minutes	50kW DC +

Use our useful guide to help you understand how quickly different vehicles can charge using different charging solutions.

When transport planning an area, it is important to consider the entire community, in particular chargers for taxi’s and chargers for buses, both of which are going to require very short dwell times whilst operational. Placement of these chargers are also important, bearing in mind the public will find it difficult to use chargers that are continually occupied by high usage vehicles such as taxi’s.

A community approach to implementing chargers for councils as what will make it a long lasting success.
