EV Armenia

Host an EV charger on your premises

By EV Armenia team · Updated

Short answer

A hotel, restaurant or shopping centre can host an EV charger so that guests who stay for hours charge while they stay. Most EV Armenia stations are exactly such places. You need a parking space, a power supply, a charger that speaks OCPP and a way to take payment; we provide the software and the driver app, not the hardware. Terms are agreed individually, and we publish no standard revenue share.

Why venues host chargers

  • Guests stay for hours, which suits AC charging. A night at a hotel or a long meal adds a useful amount of range.
  • Drivers look for it. A station listed on the map and in the app is a reason to choose your venue over another.
  • Little daily work. Payments, receipts and remote control run in software.

Look at the EV Armenia stations: of the points in our catalog, many sit at hotels, restaurants and malls.

How much power fits your guests

The energy a guest can take is at most power times time. The real figure is lower when the car’s onboard AC charger is smaller than the connector, or when the battery fills up. The table shows the upper bound.

Upper bound of energy added by an AC charger, in kWh
Stay7 kW11 kW22 kW
1 hour (a coffee)71122
3 hours (a long meal)213366
10 hours (a night)70110220

Most batteries hold less than the nightly figures, so an overnight stay fills most cars even at 7 kW. Many cars cannot take 22 kW on AC at all; in our catalog the strongest Type 2 point is 21 kW. Choose power for the stays you expect, not for the biggest number.

On-site details that matter

  • Signage and marking so that drivers find the bay and other cars do not park in it.
  • Lighting and a safe approach for night use, especially at hotels and restaurants.
  • Cable management so that a cable does not lie across a walkway.
  • Protection and wiring designed and installed by a qualified electrician; see home charging for the same principles at small scale.
  • A phone number or a link to support that a stuck driver can use. Drivers can reach us through our Telegram bot and by e-mail.
