EV Charging for Offices & Workplaces: Retain Top Talent in California

Workplace charging is the second most common place EVs are charged after the home. Discover how to implement scalable, networked charging solutions for your employees.

The Value of Workplace Charging

In California’s competitive job market, workplace EV charging is a highly sought-after benefit. It effectively doubles an employee’s commuting range and provides charging access for employees who live in apartments without home charging options.

Load Management for Office Buildings

The primary challenge for office buildings is managing the peak electrical load when all employees plug in at 9:00 AM. GridReady Pros partners install Dynamic Load Management (DLM) systems. These networked chargers communicate with each other, sharing a fixed electrical capacity. If 10 cars plug into a system designed for 5, the software automatically throttles the charging speed for all vehicles, preventing the building’s main breaker from tripping.
