If you’re considering installing electric vehicle charging stations to attract eco-minded tenants, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the range of benefits electric vehicle charging stations can offer. In addition to reinforcing an eco-friendly image for your property, installing EV charging stations can give your property a competitive edge, as plug-in electric vehicle sales are expected to increase to 3 million worldwide by 2020, according to a report by Navigant Research.

On the whole, it’s much more convenient to charge an electric car — you get home, you spend 2–3 seconds plugging in, you go on with your day or night, and you spend 2–3 seconds unplugging when you are ready to drive somewhere again.

To use mode 1, the electrical installation must comply with the safety regulations and must have an earthing system, a circuit breaker to protect against overload and an earth leakage protection. The sockets have blanking devices to prevent accidental contacts.
