Plan workplace EV charging
for your building

Redo your workplace parking — size your charging deployment, estimate infrastructure costs, model demand charges, and calculate ROI with Section 30C credits and state incentives.

Charging Demand
10%
US avg ~8% in 2025. Projected 25% by 2030, 50% by 2035. Consider your area and employee demographics.
50%
Typically 40-60% of EV drivers will charge at work if chargers are available.

Power sharing: 2:1 means 2 ports share 1 circuit. Reduces infrastructure but slower per-port charging. 2:1 or 3:1 is typical for workplace.
Networked chargers (cloud-managed) Required for paid charging, reporting, and user management. Adds $15-50/port/month.

Infrastructure
Simplified estimate: Infrastructure cost is auto-calculated based on number of ports, state labor rates, and parking type. Expand below to customize.
