What are the advantages of a charging station?

charging point advantage

Most EU countries have begun to encourage energy production in order to significantly reduce carbon emissions by 2030. At COP 26, Great Britain passed a ground-breaking law making it compulsory for all new buildings to have a charging point for electric vehicles from 2022. This will apply to both single-family homes and public and non-residential buildings. Measures of this kind have already been in place for some time in France, and they have probably encouraged you or those around you to choose an electric vehicle.

So if you own an electric vehicle, or your employees do, you've probably asked yourself the question "arecharging stations worth it?". If this question has ever crossed your mind, you've come to the right place! Today, we're going to take a look at the advantages of installing charging stations! They're sure to convince you to take the plunge! Ready to get started? Let's get started!

your charging station

As a company, how do you benefit from the installation of charging stations?

At a time when ecomobility solutions and, more generally, ecological initiatives are being promoted, installing charging stations can only be an asset for enhancing the value of your business. Here's a look at how you can benefit from the installation of a charging station. 

Increase your brand's traffic and visibility

If your aim is to generate traffic around your store, then installing charging stations can help you do just that. With sales of electric vehicles skyrocketing, many people want to recharge when they're running an errand, having a meal or spending the night in a hotel. So, if you install charging stations in your parking lot, you're sure to win over its users. 

 

Applications such as ChargeMap or Apple Map enable electric car users to plan their itineraries, find their charging points, and so on. And by being listed, you can acquire new customers! On ChargeMapyou can filter your search by ticking "restaurant", making it easier to find the charging point in your restaurant. (You'll have access to information such as the type of outlet, free or paid status, availability, etc.). Hardly any restaurants offer recharging in Paris, so if you've got a parking lot, go for it!

Increase your income

This can help you amortize the cost of the bollards. It is calculated that it takes around 2 to 3 years to amortize the installation of a charging infrastructure by charging users (at €0.40/kWh, corresponding to the average market price).

Collect data

By installing charging stations, you'll have access to a wealth of data, including CO2 savings, energy costs, kWh usage and station activity. You'll be able to use this data for your CSR policy, communications and tax returns.

Build your reputation by respecting the environment

It's also an opportunity because of the profile of electric vehicle drivers. electric vehicles. They are generally very concerned about environmental issues. Having restaurants where customers can charge up hassle-free is a much appreciated and even expected service when you offer a high-end service and experience. It helps to attract new customers and, above all, to win their loyalty over the long term by offering them complementary services.

Would you like to install a charging station?

The benefits of an electric charging station for your home

It's not just businesses that benefit from the installation of charging stations, it's private individuals too! We tell you why.

Save money and improve your energy impact

When you buy an electric vehicle, you reduce your ecological footprint, as you no longer emit CO2, unlike a combustion-powered vehicle. In addition to reducing your carbon footprint, you save on fuel! It's a clear win-win situation. You're doing the planet and your wallet a favor. But what's the advantage of installing a charging station at home? It's very simple: by doing so, you save money in the long run! The price of charging at home is much lower than charging at public stations. Especially if you take into account the various functions that a charging station can offer, such as the possibility of recharging only during off-peak hours, when electricity is cheapest. 

Added value for your home

If you think installing a charging station will lower the value of your property, you're way off! Having a charging point at home has clearly become an added value! In fact, whether you're renting or selling, you may come across people who own an electric vehicle. In this sense, if you have a charging station, your property can look very attractive to a buyer, saving them the cost and time of work. For a renter with an electric vehicle, you make life easier. 

An attractive tax credit

Another more economical advantage that directly impacts your wallet is the tax credit! 

Visit tax credit for the energy transition is a tax credit that allows you to finance, in part, the installation of your charging station.

It was set up with the help of MaPrimeRenov'to replace the CITE (Crédit d'Impôt à la transition écologique).

If you live alone, you can claim the credit for just one charging system per dwelling. In this case, you can benefit from a maximum tax credit of €500, with one system installed in your main residence and another in your second home.

If you live as a couple with a joint tax return, you can be allocated two load systems. This means that two load systems can be applied to their main home, and two others to their second home. If you are a married couple, the tax credit can be up to €1,200, if you install two charging systems per home.

It's important to note that the tax authorities can take back the tax credit you received if you were reimbursed for the installation of the charging station within five years of its installation. However, the tax credit will not be refunded if the reimbursement is the result of a claim.

Do you need an electrician to install your terminal?

To install your charging station, you need to go through an installer who specializes in charging solutions. It is highly recommended that you go through an IRVE-certified installer. Not only does this certification guarantee a superior level of expertise, it is also a prerequisite for obtaining most of the subsidies available for the installation of charging stations. 

How does a home charging station work?

The charging station installed at your home works in the same way as any other charger you can use at home, but on a larger scale. The charging station recovers the energy supplied by your home and feeds it back into the battery of your electric vehicle. The charging station adapts to the power your home can transmit, so there's very little chance of overcharging.

And what about your electricity bill?

We recommend that you adjust your electricity contract according to the power that the bollard you've chosen can transmit. This is particularly important for bollards with a power rating of around 11 kW. Check with your electricity supplier to find out whether your home generates enough current for the bollard you're planning to buy. 

What options should you choose for your charging station?

Several options are available for your charging station, to make your life easier. 

Load shedding option

Load shedding is an option available on some terminals. It regulates the power drawn by the terminal according to the power available on your network.

Among other things, it becomes necessary on certain installations where the subscribed power is insufficient to support the bollard's consumption. If you're in this situation and don't install it, you run the risk of your installation regularly tripping, which can become very uncomfortable, or even lead to almost impossible use of your bollard.

Connectivity

Connectivity is an increasingly important part of our daily lives.

Connected bollards are an expensive investment, but one that pays off in the long term. To this end, the following features are provided with these bollards: 

  • Track your electricity consumption
  • Set and configure the terminal to charge only during off-peak hours
  • Block foreign users from recharging
  • Resell the charge on your terminal if its use can be shared

And a host of other features that will be unique to each terminal.
