Have you considered joining the steadily growing list of businesses adding electric vehicle (EV) chargers to their properties? With the government’s consistent push towards net-zero emissions and electric vehicles consistently increasing in popularity, savvy business owners across Alberta are taking the leap and installing dedicated charging systems on their premises to service drivers needing to top up between stops. Despite the initial cost of installation, adding an on-location EV station can be a great way to boost your profile in an unexpected way, retain and increase your customer base, and stay ahead of the curve with the continued push towards more electric and hybrid vehicles on the road. At MCL Power, we’re proud to help business owners maintain the leading-edge electric services they can trust, including the installation and maintenance of on-site EV stations.

Below, we’ll cover some of the perks to keep in mind if you’re considering having an EV Station installed, as well as the benefits of partnering with MCL. Read on to learn more.

1. Attract New Clients

If you’re looking for a great way to attract new bodies to your location, EV Chargers are a surprisingly good fit. As more and more drivers across Alberta purchase Teslas and other popular electric options, the need for viable charging stations has become much higher than many originally anticipated. While some drivers are able to install dedicated charging stations at home*, not all properties allow for this, meaning that plenty of others will need to find dedicated spots to juice up between trips. If you run a retail business, banking institution, coffee shop, or other location where guests can stay for a decent portion of time, EV stations can be a great way to get new foot traffic in the door!

2. Satisfy Your Current Clientele

No matter how loyal your customers are, they’re always looking for that extra detail that gives them something more. For those making the shift to electric-based commuting, having a dedicated spot to charge is a huge benefit and goes a long way to solidify your spot as the go-to location for whatever you specialize in.

3. More Traffic and Longer Stays = Better Conversion Opportunities

With more people coming in the door, and better yet, staying for longer periods of time while they wait for their vehicle to recharge, your sales staff have a unique opportunity to make the most of their face time with customers. Take advantage of having extra time to discuss your business with your guests, and you might be surprised to see how your bottom-line benefits.

4. Up Your Property Value

Even if you have no plans to sell your commercial spot for quite some time yet, investing in an EV charger gives an instant boost to the value of your property by adding an increasingly valuable asset that few other locations have. This means that’ll you’ll not only make a name for yourself among consumers but also stand out to investors and potential purchasers should you sell down the line.

5. Stay Ahead

Success in business requires a forward-thinking mindset and constant innovation. Give yourself a boost and stay ahead of the crowd by embracing some of the most in-demand technology that drivers will come to depend on more and more in the coming years.
