As a company specializing in residential and commercial EV charger installations, we often talk about the environmental and operational benefits of having infrastructure. But one aspect frequently overlooked (and which is increasingly important) is the impact of workplace EV charging on employee satisfaction.  

Offering EV charging at work taps into both pragmatic and deeper‐motivational drivers for employees, it shows you are literally invested in improving the planet and their quality of life. 

For starters it provides practical convenience. For EV owners, having the option to plug in at the workplace significantly reduces “range anxiety” and simplifies daily commuting. Additionally, many employees want to feel they work for a company whose values align with theirs. Offering EVcharging signals a commitment to sustainability and future-focused innovation.

When we install EVcharging infrastructure for workplace clients, we often hear how employees express gratitude—not only because it makes their lives easier, but because it shows their employer is future forward!

If you are an employer looking to attract new talent, or excite your existing employees, here are some EV Charging best practices: 

• Start with a needs assessment – What percentage of your workforce drives or will drive EVs? How many parking spots do you have? What is the electrical infrastructure like?
• Choose the right hardware & software – Consider Level 2 (typically 3–10 hours of charge) for standard workday parking dwell time; optionally DC fast charging if employees stay shorter or fleets are involved. 
• Ensure accessibility and user experience – Placement matters: easy access, clear signage, app/ RFID payment or free perk model, signage about how to use.
• Leverage incentives & rebates – Many states and utilities offer rebates for workplace charging installations, and there’s also the federal tax credit (for certain property types) to consider. 
• Plan for operations and maintenance – Charging stations need monitoring, software updates, sometimes repairs.  highlights that proper maintenance protects uptime and brand trust.
•  Track usage and integrate into data strategy – Capturing data on usage, peak times, demand can help optimize deployment, plan for expansion, and demonstrate ROI.

By following these items, companies move from simply “having a charger” to an integrated workplace perk that aligns with culture, operations and sustainability goals.

From our perspective as charger experts, workplace EV charging is one of the most underrecognized yet highimpact perks a company can offer their commuting employees. It blends convenience, values alignment, talent attraction, and sustainability into one initiative. The infrastructure we install becomes part of the fabric of employee experience.
