Commercial charging station

Responding to the growth of electric mobility, attracting and retaining customers and/or employees

Commercial charging stations offer businesses and building managers an effective solution to meet the growing demand for electric mobility. Installed in public or semi-public parking lots, they provide a reliable and accessible charging service.

Generally Level 2 charging stations are designed for intensive use and can be free, reserved, or offered on a pay-per-use basis. They integrate with management platforms that allow for access control, billing, and energy consumption monitoring.

Commercial charging stations help attract and retain customers and/or employees, increase visit duration, and enhance a company’s eco-friendly image. Thanks to energy management systems, they optimize existing electrical capacity and allow for scalable deployment, often supported by financial assistance programs such as the Roulez vert program.

VE recharge is a certified partner of the Electric Circuit and ensures the installation of charging stations both on this public network and on the Eddie platform, used for the management of private stations, access control and billing of energy consumption
