Charger types

Destination charging

Destination charging provides EV charging at places where vehicles are already parked for a longer stay. Hotels, workplaces, leisure venues and long-stay car parks are common examples. Longer dwell time means destination charging often needs less power per vehicle than a motorway or rapid-charging site. The design question becomes how many vehicles can be served within the site's available capacity and parking pattern. Load balancing can increase the number of destination charge points that share a constrained supply by allocating power over the available dwell time.
