Select locations for electric vehicle charging stations in high-traffic areas like shopping centers and highways, ensuring proximity to electrical infrastructure for reduced installation costs and maximizing visibility for drivers.
Verify local grid capacity for additional load and assess necessary upgrades. Determine suitable charging types (Level 1, Level 2, or DC fast) based on usage patterns and ensure adequate installation space.
Comply with local zoning laws, building codes, and electrical codes regarding electric vehicle charging stations. Ensure all necessary permits are obtained before installation to adhere to regulations.
Install adequate lighting for safety during nighttime usage at charging stations. Implement surveillance cameras to deter vandalism and theft, and provide clear emergency protocols to guide users in case of emergencies.
