We just had a presentation by our Leviton Rep, showing us their line of EV charging stations.
They have a complete line of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 stations.
They said these will be sold through distribution just like fixtures and gear, meaning the installs will be done by EC's.
They have units for private (your company employees, where in secure areas, single family) units, and public units (hotels, apartments, parking garages, city streets, etc). These require a credit card, or a pass card that you wave and it authorizes your purchase.
At this time, most of the stimulus money is going to the test cities like Austin here in Texas. And they are setting up entire grids in these cities. But this is going to flood every city market in the very near future.
And you resi guys will be selling these installs in every home very soon.
We had tons of questions that the rep had no answer for about the validity of electric cars in general, also theft, vandalism, cost, etc..... just general skepticism for such a market. And I still have tons of questions swirling in my head.
Bottom line is, it's coming and coming fast. Electricians will be selling this work, and I'm getting in on it!!!
Anyone else doing these or thinking about it?
Here's a link to a pdf about the Leviton unit.
Let me know if it doesn't open, I'll get another link.
