Question 2

Which EV’s are compatible ChargePoint stations?

Answer

All EVs except Tesla use the same J1772TM connector for Level 2 charging. Tesla makes adapters that allow their vehicles to charge using J1772 or CHAdeMO connectors.

Question 3

How much does Installation cost?

Answer

Often the highest cost of EV Stations is the infrastructure necessary to power the stations. Electric service upgrades, trenching, repaving, distance to panel and other factors can significantly impact the cost of the project. Good planning with MPower and keeping future expansion in mind will reduce your short and long-term installation costs!

Question 5

How am I going to manage the stations?

Answer

a. As a new station owner, you will receive an email with a link you can click on to activate and set up your administrator account. Once you set up your account, you can log in to manage your stations, view your dashboard, set up pricing and access control and analyze the usage of your stations. b. As the station owner, you set every important policy for your stations, including who has access to use your stations, and how much, if anything, it will cost EV drivers to charge at your stations. We’re happy to provide guidance, but the decision is ultimately yours.

I like my electrician, can I use them?

Answer

MPower can provide support to your electrician to streamline their electrical run, answer any questions they may have, provide spec sheets, and identify the correct mounting solutions. b.
