Level 1 charging uses a plug that connects from your car into a typical household outlet (120V). It charges your car around 4 miles/hour so to fully charge a typical 300 mile range car, it will take 3 days. EVs are equipped with this plug and it is not offered by Charging Solutions.
Level 2 is 240V and is used both for business and residential. At around 30 miles/hour, it can charge a typical 300 mile range car to 80% in 6-8 hours, depending on the charger’s battery output and the vehicle’s battery efficiency. Most businesses, hotels, shopping complexes, multi-family facilities, universities, etc use this option of charging.
Level 3, also known as DC Fast Charging or Superchargers, is the fastest way to charge your electric vehicle. These stations are usually in public locations near interstates and require commercial-grade higher voltage electrical infrastructure to operate. Charging is as fast as 3 miles/minute and most EVs can be charged to 80% in under 30 minutes.

The US average rate charged to EV drivers is $0.384/kWh as of November 2025. In the Southeast USA, the average rates charged to EV drivers is between $0.35/kWh and $0.45/kWh.
The average US commercial rate cost is $0.14/kWh so you will typically profit over $0.20/kWH.

Honestly, it depends.
If your local government requires a permit for an EV station install, we are dependent on how fast they can process the approval.
If the local government requires engineered drawings of the EV charging station (typical in Florida and other areas prone to Hurricanes) that could take a week.
Do you need power run to the location of where the EV station will be installed? That could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
The actual install of the station, once power is there, is typically 1-2 days.
If you hire your own electrician to install the EV charging station, we can have the station delivered to you within a week of payment receipt.
-
Provide timely information to Charging Solutions to keep your project on schedule.
For example:
Valid shipping address and any gate codes for shipment.
Some permits require engineered plans of the location where the EV charging station will be installed. You may be asked to provide that.
Who will be the station administrator at your business? Think of who will be the best contact for setting rates, analyzing charging data, and who should be contacted about warranties after the station is installed.
-
Charging Solutions partners with local electricians all over the US. They know the local codes and apply for permits, if applicable. They are also certified by the manufacturer to install the station, which is required for any product warranty to be valid.
If you would like to use your own electrician to install that station, that is just fine- they will have to complete the necessary courses to obtain the manufacturer’s installation credentials before the station can be installed or activated in order for the warranty to be valid.

The Tesla charge port, now known as North American Charging Standard (NACS) has become the unified EV charging standard in North America, with nearly all major automakers—including Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Volkswagen Group—transitioning their new vehicles to native NACS charge ports (from J1772) beginning with 2025 models.
We offer both ChargePoint and Tesla stations that can charge both types without the need for an adapter.
-
No. Each station connects directly to the internet with a 4G cellular signal, eliminating the need for gateways and Wi-Fi.
-
Yes- there are models designed specifically for fleet charging. Contact us to see how we can help.
