BUSINESS PLAN ON ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION

Introduction

Tens of thousands of electric vehicles (EV) charging stations are available in the United
States. These charging stations are being installed in key areas throughout the country
for public charging and workplace charging as a supplement to residential charging. Most
EV owners do the majority of their charging at home.

There are two main types of EV chargers: Alternating current (AC) charging stations
and direct current (DC) charging stations. Electric vehicle batteries can only be charged
by direct current electricity, while most mains electricity is delivered from the power
grid as alternating current. For this reason, most electric vehicles have a built-in AC-to-
DC converter commonly known as the "onboard charger". At an AC charging station, AC
power from the grid is supplied to this onboard charger, which converts it into DC power
to then recharge the battery. DC chargers facilitate higher power charging (which requires
much larger AC-to-DC converters) by building the converter into the charging station
instead of the vehicle to avoid size and weight restrictions. The station then supplies DC
power to the vehicle directly, bypassing the onboard converter. Most modern electric car
models can accept both AC and DC power.

Charging Infrastructure Development:

Consumers and fleets considering electric vehicles—which include all-electric vehicles

and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)—need access to charging stations. For most
drivers, this starts with charging at home or at fleet facilities. Charging stations
at workplaces and public destinations may help bolster market acceptance by offering
more flexible charging opportunities at commonly visited locations. Community leaders
can find out more through EV readiness planning, including case studies of ongoing
successes. The EVI-Pro Lite tool is also available to estimate the quantity and type of
charging infrastructure necessary to support regional adoption of EVs by state or
city/urban area and to determine how EV charging will impact electricity demand.

The Combined Charging System (CCS), also known as the SAE J1772 combo, charge
port on a vehicle can be used to accept charge with Level 1, Level 2, or DC fast charging
equipment.
Charging the growing number of EVs in use requires a robust network of stations for both
consumers and fleets. The Alternative Fueling Station Locator allows users to search for
public and private charging stations. Quarterly reports on EV charging station trends show
the growth of public and private charging and assess the current state of charging
infrastructure in the United States. Report new charging stations for inclusion in the
Station Locator using the Submit New Station form. Suggest updates to existing charging
stations by selecting “Report a change” on the station details page.
Learn more about state electrification planning and funding, including information about
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Charging Infrastructure Terminology:

The charging infrastructure industry has aligned with a common standard called the Open
Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol with this hierarchy for charging stations: location,
EV charging port, and connector. The Alternative Fuels Data Center and the Station
Locator use the following charging infrastructure definitions:

• Station Location: A station location is a site with one or more EV charging ports
at the same address. Examples include a parking garage or a mall parking lot.

• EV Charging Port: An EV charging port provides power to charge only one

vehicle at a time even though it may have multiple connectors. The unit that houses
EV charging ports is sometimes called a charging post, which can have one or
more EV charging ports. EV charging ports are also sometimes referred to as
electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) ports.

• Connector: A connector is what is plugged into a vehicle to charge it. Multiple

connectors and connector types (such as CHAdeMO and CCS) can be available on
one EV charging port, but only one vehicle will charge at a time. Connectors are
sometimes called plugs.

Charging Equipment:

Charging equipment for EVs is classified by the rate at which the batteries are charged.
Charging times vary based on how depleted the battery is (i.e., state-of-charge), how much
energy it holds (i.e., capacity), the type of battery, the vehicle's internal charger capacity,
and the type of charging equipment (e.g., charging level, charger power output, and
electrical service specifications). The charging time can range from less than 20 minutes
using DC fast chargers to 20 hours or more using Level 1 chargers, depending on these
and other factors. When choosing equipment for a specific application, many factors,
such as networking, payment capabilities, and operation and maintenance, should be
considered.

Inductive Charging:

Inductive charging equipment, which uses an electromagnetic field to transfer electricity

to an EV without a cord, has been introduced commercially for installation as an
aftermarket add-on. Some currently available wireless charging stations operate at power
levels comparable to Level 2, though this technology is more common for transit or other
fleet operations at higher power levels comparable to DC fast. The U.S. Department of
Energy is conducting research to investigate the feasibility of high-powered wireless
charging. More information on inductive charging research efforts is available from the
National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Additional Charging Options:

Another standard (SAE J3068) was developed in 2018 for higher rates of AC charging
using three-phase power, which is common at commercial and industrial locations in the
United States. Some components of the standard were adapted from the European three-
phase charging standards and specified for North American AC grid voltages and
requirements. In the United States, the common three-phase voltages are typically 208/120
V, 480/277 V. The standard targets power levels between 6 kW and 130 kW.

Extreme fast chargers (XFC), such as the SAE DC Level 2 standard, are capable of power
outputs of up 350 kW and higher and are rapidly being deployed in the United States light-
duty and select medium-duty applications (e.g., for in-route charging of electric buses).
XFC will also support long-dwell overnight charging for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle
applications. A 2022 report looks at the requirements for charging stations that could
support in-route charging for heavy-duty EVs. While XFC are currently available from
several charging manufacturers, the U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies
Office is pursuing research that will bridge the technology gaps associated with
implementing XFC networks in the United States. A 2017 report(PDF) highlights
technology gaps at the battery, vehicle, and infrastructure levels. In particular, many EVs
on the roads today are not capable of charging at rates higher than 150 kW. However,
vehicle technology is advancing, and most new EV models will be able to charge at higher
rates, enabling the use of XFC. You can find additional resources on EV charging
and advanced charging system research efforts from the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory. For answers to frequently asked questions about the Megawatt Charging
System and SAE J3271, see the fact sheet on Charging for Heavy-Duty Electric
Trucks from Argonne National Laboratory .

Conclusion:

In conclusion, developing a mobile app to locate EV charging stations is an essential step

toward promoting the adoption of electric vehicles and addressing range anxiety concerns
among drivers with the increasing number of electric vehicles on the road, such an app is
becoming increasingly important for drivers to locate charging stations and plan their
routes accordingly.

The key features of an EV charging station finder app include location-based search,
station database, mapping, and directions, filter and sorting options, station details, user
feedback and ratings, payment integration, and notifications These features ensure that
electric vehicle owners have access to accurate and up-to date information about charging
stations, allowing them to plan their routes and travel with confidence.
