One of the biggest pain points for EV owners comes down to keeping their vehicles charged. Whether they lack a charging solution at home or have a lot of miles to go until they reach their next charging option, finding a way to charge an EV can be a headache. Installing a charger at your shop has several benefits for your business and for your customers.
The EV market is still growing. Having a solution for in-shop EV charging is the first step to being able to market your services for EV maintenance and repair.
For repair shops of all types, having an EV charging station on site when your customers come in for service isn’t just an add-on—it’s good business. Charging the car before or after you’ve finished any needed maintenance helps you deliver on your customer’s expectations.
This goes for if you’re simply recharging the vehicle to the battery levels it had when your customer came in or you’re handing over the car fully charged. Providing a recharging service is good customer service and helps you deliver on their expectations.
For people who own or service electric vehicles, it can be helpful to have a Topdon or Autel EV charger in your garage or mounted to an exterior wall so your car can charge whenever in the shop or at home.
At ADAS Depot, many of the EV chargers we sell are designed for both residential and commercial use. Whether you’re in need of a trickle charge to prevent battery drain before/after servicing or a fast charge to top up a customer while they wait, we have a range of options for you.
Portable Topdon EV chargers make it easier to charge your electric vehicle from virtually anywhere. They enable both plug-and-charge and scheduled capabilities so you can ensure your engine always has the electricity it needs. Most have LCD screens so you can monitor the progress of your charge in real time and schedule your charge based on your building’s power capacity and electricity pricing periods.
Certain types of electric vehicles aren’t compatible with every type of EV charger available on the market. However, charging adapters change all of that. With a charging adapter, you can use lightning-fast charging stations across all manufacturers and never have to guess where your next compatible charging station is.
If you have more than one electric vehicle you need to charge or if you want to be able to use an appliance on the same line, a NEMA splitter can be a game-changer. Similar to having a power strip that can power multiple devices, NEMA splitters allow you to power more than one device and charge multiple electric vehicles simultaneously—without needing two separate receptacles.
NEMA splitters designed for EV use in North America generally come in two standards: 1450R and 614R.
Never worry about where you’ll be able to charge your—or your customer’s—electric vehicle. Find the EV charging station that’s best for your needs today. Still not sure which system is right for you? Call us at (925) 566-8545 or email us today.
