Why do EVs need a charger? Can’t they just plug in?
All EVs can plug into a regular 120V electrical receptacle, as found in virtually all homes and businesses. This is often referred to as ‘Level 1’ charging. No charger is required for this, virtually all EVs have the required voltage and current conversion for this built into the car. The trouble is, the amount of electricity that can be delivered through these standard receptacles is relatively small, and the car will take a long time to charge…think in terms of charging at a rate of about 5 to 8 kms of range, per hour.
Using a 240V connection (often called ‘Level 2’ charging) instead (like a clothes dryer or electric stove), is at least three times faster (about 15 to 30 kms of range per hour), but a charging station (or ‘EV charger’) is required, in order to charge the EV at this voltage.
For most EV owners, the convenience of being able to add range more quickly, or completely charge overnight, is well worth the cost of installing a ‘Level 2’ EV charging solution … indeed for many EV drivers, it is simply necessary in order to get full utility out of the vehicle.

What is the difference between a PHEV and BEV? Do they both need chargers?
BEVs (battery electric vehicles) run entirely on electricity stored in batteries and are recharged by plugging in at home, work or a public location. Full function BEVs are freeway capable with an operating range of 60+ miles, and generally take 6-8 hours to recharge at 220-volt power.
PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) run on a combination of electricity and gasoline, and have the ability to be plugged in for a charge. Their all-electric range varies by model, but generally is about 10-40 miles before the vehicle begins to operate like a regular hybrid. PHEVs are attractive because they are capable of all-electric short distance trips as well as long distance driving in regular hybrid mode.
Both types of vehicles can usually use Level 1 (slower, no charger required) or Level 2 (faster, charger required) charging options.
What is ‘EVSE’?
‘EVSE’ stands for ‘electric vehicle service equipment’, also informally called a ‘Level 2’ charging station. They use a 240-volt outlet. All come with the same “J connector” that allow almost all plug-in electric vehicles to connect to any charging station.
How long will it take to charge my car?
Charging speed depends on numerous factors, including:
- State of charge when charging begins
- Type of charger (Level 1, 2 or 3)
- Size of EV battery
As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to gain 5 to 8 kms of range per hour from a ‘Level 1’ charger, 10 to 30 kms of range per hour from a ‘Level 2’ charger, and 70 to 200 kms of range per hour from a ‘Level 3’ DC fast charger.
The reason for the variability is because the first part of the charge (when the battery is low) happens relatively quickly, while the last 20% takes longer.
For most EV drivers, fully recharging at home overnight with a ‘Level 2’ charger is easily accomplished.
How much does it cost to charge my car?
Of course this will vary, depending on how discharged the car is when you plug it in, how large the battery is, and your local electrical rates at the time of charging.
As an example, if you have an EV that needs 50kW put into the battery in order for it to reach full charge, and if your local electrical rate is $0.10 per kWh, it will cost 50 x $0.10 = $5.00 to fully recharge the EV.
Most EVs can travel about 250 – 300kms using 50 kWh, or about $5.00 worth of electricity, using the above example.
How much maintenance do EV chargers need?
Very little. Despite being an advanced technology, electric cars are remarkably simple to maintain.
The same is true for EV charging stations. If installed properly and built modularly, every piece of the mechanism can be easily replaced.
‘Smart’ charging stations with online connectivity also enable remote diagnostics and repair, so you won’t be left stranded in the rare event of charger malfunction.
What is the difference between ‘smart’ chargers and ‘dumb’ chargers?
A “dumb” charging station just charges the car, period. And for some owners, that’s all they care about.
A smart charging station has the ability to connect to WiFi or your smart phone and allow the owner to monitor their charging, check the power being delivered, review statistics from past charging sessions and more. This allows the owner to see exactly how much energy the car is using, so they can calculate how much the car costs to power. Without this feature, an EV owner can only guess how much the car is costing them to charge.
Some smart chargers can perform other tasks, like connecting to Amazon Alexa for voice-control of your charging, communicating with your utility so you can charge your car when the electricity provided is the “greenest” available (or cheapest, in regions with time-of-use rates), and even load-share so you can have two chargers on one dedicated circuit. Some smart chargers also permit remote diagnostics to notify you if there is a failure, and indicate what the issue may be.
If you want options like these, or you’re kind of a data-geek, you’ll definitely want a smart charging station.
What is the difference between ‘Level 1’, ‘Level 2’ and ‘Level 3’ EV charging?
Most electric vehicles (EVs) will charge at one of three charging “levels.”
Level 1 – Basic, “slow,” “trickle” charging – residential – 120 volts AC (alternating current) – Typically will take 3-7 Hours for PHEVs and 9-20 Hours for BEVs. Vehicles plug directly into a typical 120‐volt outlet. Electrician will evaluate the circuit to determine if upgrades or modifications to the property’s main electric panel or circuits are required, and it should be a dedicated circuit (no other appliances should use the same circuit.)
Level 2 – Fast, or “quick” charging – residential and commercial – 240 volts AC – Typically will take 1-3 Hours for PHEVs and 4-8 Hours for BEVs. Requires a charging station. Electrician will determine if upgrades or modifications to the property’s main electric panel or circuits are required.
Level 3 DC – Very fast charging – commercial – 480 volts DC (Converts 3-phase AC to DC) or higher – Typically will take 5-20 minutes (80% charge) for PHEVs and 10-30 minutes (80% charge) for BEVs. Requires more complex installation and electrical infrastructure upgrades.
What are the different types of connectors for?
The Society of Automotive Engineers has established a uniform “connector” standard (J1772) for Level 1 and Level 2 charging, also known as the ‘SAE Combo socket’. Most US-made electric cars currently on the market or due to launch over the next several years comply with this standard (except for Tesla, which uses a proprietary connector – adaptors come with the car to permit connection to any J1772 socket).
European and Asian electric car brands most often use the CHAdeMO socket.
Inexpensive adaptors are readily available to permit inter-operability between the different standards.
DC fast charging (Level 3) connectors are available in several standards and will vary depending on the make and model you choose.
What is the difference between ‘residential’ charger models, and ‘commercial’ models?
Residential models are less expensive, and generally expected to see less use, and wear and tear than commercial models. Generally a residential model will be used once per day to charge the car overnight, while a commercial model may be used a dozen or more times every day.
Commercial models tend to be located in areas with much higher traffic, such as public access parking lots, where they are more likely to experience impacts, or other mild abuse. Consequently, they are of more heavy duty construction.
Commercial models often have features needed for commercial operations like billing functions, anti-vandalism locks and finishes, and more. These features cost money, and are usually not needed in a residential setting.
The bottom line is, in almost every case, there is no benefit or logic to installing a residential model into a commercial environment, or vice versa.

Is one brand of charger any better than another? How can I tell?
Every brand has strengths and weaknesses, and some EV charger models are better suited for some applications than others.
There is no quick and easy way to differentiate between all the different options available at any given price point, from all the manufacturers. That is why we offer FREE consultations!

What is the expected lifespan of an EV charger?
The main factor in determining the lifespan of an EV charging solution, is the number of charge cycles it completes. Generally, a lightly used unit will last longer than one that is heavily used, BUT there are also some significant differences in build quality that will also have a significant impact on lifespan. Selecting the right charging station for the application, both present and foreseeable future, is critical in ensuring a reasonable lifespan.
In most applications, assuming the right solution has been properly installed, an 8 to 12 year lifespan would be a reasonable expectation.
Contact us today to get any additional questions answered and to let us help you select the right EV charging solution, for your home or public access space.
Is bigger always better? How do I know what size and type of EV charger I will need?
NO! Bigger is definitely NOT always better! All EV batteries have a maximum amount of current they can accept while charging, without causing damage. As the battery nears full charge (80%+), the amount of current it can accept drops quickly, which is why the last 20% of charge takes much longer to complete. Because of this dynamic, in some cases a more powerful charger would simply not be able to charge your EV significantly faster, but would cost you more money to install.
In some cases this may make sense if the expectation is to upgrade your EV to one with a larger battery in the near future, but in many other cases it simply costs more for no benefit.
There is also a limitation on how much electricity can be supplied for any given EV charger, based on the electrical service at the property, and other loads already connected to the service. It may be, that there is not enough available to supply a more powerful EV charger (although there can be solutions to this situation, too).
Finally, the actual charging requirements need to be considered. How much time is available for charging, and how much range needs to be gained, in the available time? How efficient is the particular EV that will be getting charged, or will it be multiple different EVs (public space)?
The bottom line is, selecting the correct size of EV charging solution requires multiple considerations. There definitely is such a thing as ‘too big’.

What does ‘EV charging etiquette’ mean? Are there any rules?
YES! Any EV owner will be able to tell you, not everyone ‘gets it’ when it comes to ‘appropriate charging behaviour’ in public access spaces. Google ‘EV charging etiquette’ and you will find many articles on this subject. Here is a good summary:
EV Spots for EVs. It’s absolutely never acceptable for an internal combustion car to park in a spot designated for a plug-in car. That’s a firm rule—no matter how crowded a parking lot is and no matter how infrequently the charging location is used.
No Nasty Notes. Electric car drivers should never leave nasty notes. If the charging spot you counted on using is ICEd — the term referring to a charging spot occupied by an internal combustion engine car — by all means, the plug-in driver should leave a note on the windshield explaining the predicament. The note can be firm but should be expressed in polite language — in a good-will gesture that will hopefully convince the offender not to make the mistake again.
Charge Only When Necessary. Don’t charge if you don’t need a charge. Leave the spot free for another EV driver that might need the charge to safely complete his or her daily travels.
Charge Up and Move On. Only occupy a charging spot while your car is being charged. As soon as the charging session is completed either when your battery is full or when you have adequate range to comfortably reach your destination — be prepared to unplug and move your car as soon as possible, making way for a fellow plug-in driver.
Note: Many charging networks and car apps can be set to notify you by email or text when your charging session is completed. Some penalize users with a hefty fee for idling after getting a full charge.
It’s Okay to Ask for a Charge. If a charging spot you needed is being used, and you are able to park next to a car that is currently charging, it’s perfectly fine to leave a note asking the owner to plug your car in after his or her session is complete. If you receive such a note, honor the request. If the charging session requires a fee, you are obviously not obligated to activate the charging session (and incur a fee)—although that kind gesture will likely be returned some day. As with any note left on a windshield, it’s advisable to include your name and cell phone number so you can be contacted.
Don’t Unplug Plug-in Hybrids. An owner of a pure electric car, like a Nissan Leaf, does NOT have the right to unplug a plug-in hybrid, such as a Chevy Volt — just because that car has a backup gas engine.
… Except When Plug-in Hybrid Is Done Charging. The exception to Rule #6 — and applicable in fact to any other plug-in car — says that it’s okay for one plug-in car owner to unplug another car if the first car has clearly finished charging. In this event, the driver who makes the switch should leave a note explaining why it was unplugged. The note should be full of gratitude and include your cell number.
Note: The PlugShare app has a notification function so drivers can contact each other prior to unplugging. Drivers should try to make contact prior to unplugging.
Safety First. Practice safe charging. The means properly managing the cord. Neatly wind the cord on its holder. Tuck it in so people will not trip on any excess length or drive over it.

Contact us today to get any additional questions answered and to let us help you select the right EV charging solution, for your home or public access space.
What if I have not bought my EV yet? Will it come with a charger?
Most likely not. Generally, new and used EVs do not come packaged with any specific charging station…and if they DO, it may very well not be the best charging solution for YOU, or for your home, even if it is well suited to the vehicle itself.
Understanding YOUR needs is a critical part of selecting the right EV charging solution, as is properly understanding the location and environment where it will be installed.
Contact us today to get any additional questions answered and to let us help you select the right EV charging solution, for YOU, and your home.
Is there a way to avoid upgrading my older home’s electrical service, and still install an EV charger?
YES! Upgrading the electrical service to a detached house is an expensive undertaking. It involves completely replacing the wires that bring the electricity from the street to your home, and also completely replacing your entire electrical panel, at a minimum. Depending on the age and condition of other electrical components (wiring, receptacles and switches, etc.), further work may also be required — often pushing costs well over $10,000.
While there are other reasons to consider this upgrade, doing it only so an EV charging solution can be installed, adds a LOT of money to the overall cost of purchasing an EV and home EV charging solution.
Fortunately, there IS a much less expensive option. Energy management solutions can automatically divert and direct power in such a way, that everything remains safe while still using an older electrical service with limited capacity.
In some cases, a smart EV charging solution can monitor overall load on your home’s electrical system, and adjust charger output to maintain safe conditions. For example, you can turn charging down or off while you are cooking dinner or running your clothes dryer, then turn it up after you have gone to bed when other loads are off. In other cases, a simple switch lets you choose between using your clothes dryer or charging your EV.
In any case, we understand the challenges, and we have the solutions. Usually, energy management can be integrated into your complete EV charging solution, for less than 1/3 the price of a complete electrical service upgrade. After all, isn’t one of the reasons you decided to purchase an EV, to save money?
Contact us today to get any additional questions answered and to let us help you select the right EV charging solution, for your home or public access space.
What if I buy a different EV in the future? Will my charger still work?
YES! Part of what we do, is take your future needs into consideration, when designing your particular EV charging solution. Sometimes spending just a little bit more now, can save you the cost of a complete charging station replacement down the road.
Even if your needs take an unexpected turn, and the charging solution installed is not the best match for a future EV (although it WILL still charge it), replacing the charging station itself should be all that is required — there should be no need to have to replace the wiring installed from your electrical panel to the charging station. This upgrade would be relatively quick and easy to accomplish.
Are there any bylaws applicable to EV charging solutions in residential spaces?
YES. Naturally, every municipality has its own set of rules and regulations, making it impractical to try to list them all here. It is part of our process to ensure every installation we complete conforms to local bylaws in every case. We will make sure you are clearly informed about any bylaws applicable to your location, and explain any measures we have to take in order to achieve compliance.

What are the operating costs involved with commercial EV Chargers?
Public space EV chargers require regular inspection and maintenance in order to ensure reliability and proper operation. How much this will cost, will depend on the location, and how much usage the charger gets.
There is also the cost of electricity in kWh, and some locations may also see demand charges or other added electrical fees, depending on the billing structure in place.
Network access fees may apply, depending on the exact make and model of charging station installed. Network access is a desirable feature, because it allows EV drivers to find the charging location using various vehicle or cell phone apps, and it also allows remote monitoring of the station for quick notification of any issues with the charging hardware. Network access can also help support billing applications, if the intent is for users to pay for charging services at that location.
If billing features are enabled, there may be transaction fees associated.
There is no simple, straightforward answer to this question other than, ‘it depends’. We will help you narrow down the options, and define exactly what the operating costs will be, before your EV charging solution is installed.

What are some of the reasons to install EV chargers in commercial locations?
Are you a restaurant owner, grocery store, or retail property manager? More and more consumers are choosing to shop and dine where they can plug in their car.
Are you a commercial property manager? EV charging is a top office amenity requested by employees at organizations from Google to universities and government departments.
Let’s dive into the pros and cons of installing a commercial EV charging station for electric cars at your business.
Electric vehicles by the numbers
How many electric vehicles are there on Canadian roads? As of October 2019, there were roughly 136,000 BEVs and PHEVs in Canada. In 2014, there were just 10,000. This is a 500% increase in just 5 years – so it’s no wonder everyone is talking about EVs. In BC, 10% of all new vehicles sold in 2019, were electric.
And EV adoption is just getting started. The IEA predicts that 50 million new EVs could hit roads in the United States and Canada by 2030.
So what does this mean for your business? As the number of electric vehicle owners grows exponentially, so does the demand for places where they can park and charge their car. By installing smart EV chargers, you can attract foot traffic to your retail business, retain tenants at your office park, and build loyalty with this rapidly growing demographic.
Retail businesses: attract high-paying customers
Electric vehicle owners are not your ordinary customers. A recent study found that EV drivers are younger and significantly wealthier than the average vehicle owner.
In the study, the average buyer of a new Ford Focus was 46 years old and earned $77,000 per year. The electric version of the same car? The average Ford Focus electric buyer was 43 years old with a whopping household income of $199,000.
With EV charging stations still a scarce resource in many suburban and urban areas, hosting chargers at your business could attract the right customers. And not just one-time customers — EV drivers are more likely to be repeat customers of businesses where they know they can reliably top-up. Level 2 charging typically takes 1 to 4 hours, giving customers and their families plenty of time to eat and shop.
Workplaces: recruit the right employees, and keep them
Top employers like Google and Microsoft are beginning to only lease office spaces that come equipped with EV charging. And it’s not just tech giants — employees across the board are asking for a place to plug in while they work.
EV owners care about their carbon footprint and the impact they have in the world, and want to work at places that reflect these values. Plus there’s nothing that gets an EV driver to the office early like snagging the last space with a free EV charger.
Installing EV chargers goes a long way towards winning the hearts of employees who have already chosen to drive green.
Get rebates and tax credits from the government
Rebates, tax credits, and repayable contributions are a reward given by governments to incentivize the use of EVs to reduce carbon emissions. National, state, and local governments have all created policies geared towards making it easier for businesses and individuals to embrace EVs.
EV charging incentives in Canada
At the provincial level, British Columbia offers workplaces $5,000–$8,000 per port to install EV chargers.
On top of provincial incentives, Natural Resources Canada is expected to once again start accepting applications for the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP), in September 2020. The current round of ZEVIP (fully subscribed) includes workplaces, and offers contributions up to $5,000 per port or 50% of eligible project costs to purchase and install EV chargers. If your workplace is interested in taking advantage of this one-time opportunity, you should contact GROK EV Charger Services right away, so we can have your application ready to go as soon as the program reopens in September 2020.
Future-proof your business today
The era of electric transportation is here as there is even demand for EV charging for apartments. In the minds of consumers and employees, EV charging is quickly going from being a perk, to an expectation. Future-proof your business today by taking advantage of EV chargers and all of the benefits they bring.
How can I recoup the cost of installing EV chargers?
For most commercial applications, the chargers are made available for client use at no charge. The business considers the value of attracting the customer, and having them spend time in a commercial establishment, more than enough to offset the cost of EV charging solution installation and operation.
Having said that, there ARE options to set up billing for commercial EV charging solutions, so that EV drivers are billed for using charging services. This can take many different forms; please see “What sort of billing options are available?”.
What sort of billing options are available?
Depending on the jurisdiction, it or may not be possible for EV charging station owners to bill station users for kWh consumed (reselling electricity is often regulated).
It IS possible however, to bill in any number of other ways:
- Membership
- Flat monthly fee, or flat charging fee
- Number of hours parked in charging stall
- Amount of time connected to charger
- etc.
This is an evolving and technically advanced field, with many different creative options available.

What is the difference between less expensive ‘residential’ charger models, and ‘commercial’ models? Is it worth the extra money?
Residential models are less expensive, and generally expected to see less use, and wear and tear than commercial models. Generally a residential model will be used once per day to charge the car overnight, while a commercial model may be used a dozen or more times every day.
Commercial models tend to be located in areas with much higher traffic, such as public access parking lots, where they are more likely to experience impacts, or other mild abuse. Consequently, they are of more heavy-duty construction.
Commercial models often have features needed for commercial operations like billing functions, anti-vandalism locks and finishes, and more. These features cost money, and are usually not needed in a residential setting.

I am concerned about vandalism. Are there any options to help with this?
YES! While nothing is totally ‘bomb proof’, there are models of EV chargers available that are specifically designed to resist vandalism.
Contact us today to learn more.
Are there any bylaws applicable to EV charging solutions in commercial spaces?
YES. Naturally, every municipality has its own set of rules and regulations, making it impractical to try to list them all here.
It is part of our process to ensure every installation we complete, conforms to local bylaws in every case. We will make sure you are clearly informed about any bylaws applicable to your location, and explain any measures we have to take in order to achieve compliance.
