As electrification accelerates, commercial EV adoption is growing faster than expected. When building charging stations, 'charging power' becomes a key factor affecting charging speed, infrastructure cost, and operational efficiency.
This article provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the power requirements for various commercial applications, along with practical selection tips and insights into industry trends.
Higher power isn’t always better—it must align with actual application needs.
Application Scenario | Recommended Power Range | Typical Vehicle Type | Notes |
Office/Malls | 7kW – 22kW | Patrol cars, property vehicles | Ideal for slow charging with overnight parking |
Taxi/Logistics | 60kW – 150kW | Ride-hailing, small logistics vans | Fast charging saves operation time |
E-buses/Heavy Transport | 180kW – 350kW+ | Electric buses, heavy trucks | ltra-fast liquid-cooled chargers for large battery vehicles |
· Max Charging Power Supported by the Vehicle: The BMS (Battery Management System) determines the maximum input power. Exceeding this adds no value and increases costs.
· Operational Frequency and Charging Time Window: High-usage fleets need fast charging; low-frequency parking scenarios can opt for slower charging to save cost.
· Power Grid Capacity at Site: For limited grid access, consider pairing with energy storage or using dynamic power distribution.
The rise of electric heavy trucks and large commercial vehicles is driving high-voltage charging technologies:
· 800V Platform + Liquid Cooling: Enables over 350kW output while maintaining safe cable temperatures for large battery vehicles.
· Smart Power Distribution: Multi-gun chargers dynamically allocate output based on real-time vehicle needs.
· OCPP Platform Integration: Enables remote control, diagnostics, billing, and energy usage optimization for digitalized operations.
Location | Vehicle Type | Charger Power | Avg. Charging Time |
Shanghai Bus Station | E-bus (250kWh) | 240kW liquid-cooled DC charger | Approx. 35 mins to 80% |
Jiangsu Logistics Park | Light-duty delivery van | 60kW air-cooled DC charger | Approx. 45 mins |
Guangzhou Taxi Hub | EV Taxi (60kWh) | 120kW air-cooled DC charger | Approx. 25 mins |
Europe Freight Route | Heavy truck (800kWh) | 350kW liquid-cooled ultra-fast charger | 50 mins to 70% |
The optimal charger power isn’t always the highest available—it must match your vehicle type, usage frequency, and power access. Proper configuration lowers energy waste, reduces downtime, and maximizes vehicle efficiency—key for building a green, reliable commercial EV network.
