EV Charging Stations for Schools

As electric vehicle sales continue to soar across North America, those involved in updating and maintaining education properties may be wondering how adding EV charging stations to their school may benefit their students, staff and visitors. Especially on high school and college campuses where a portion of the student population drives or carpools to school, EV charging stations will become more relevant. However, charging stations can also act as a benefit across all educational properties, attracting and retaining educators and staff. For schools looking to the future needs of their students, staff and visitors, and those who are actively working to lower their greenhouse gas emissions, an EV charging station will put you at an advantage for decades.

EvoCharge’s Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations allow you to select your choice of third-party network provider through Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) or self-manage through Wi-Fi. You control how and when users are able to charge, providing it as an amenity service or generating passive income through our RFID-enabled iEVSE Plus systems. Add an EvoReel cable management solution to complete your station; the self-retracting cable keeps cords off the ground and the charging area clean and safe. EvoCharge charging stations and cable management solutions meet OSHA and ADA guidelines, are UL approved and NEMA 4 rated for outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does OCPP mean?

OCPP—or Open Charge Point Protocol—means the EV charger doesn’t require a specific network to work and it can be connected to any local charging network or utilities company. More information about OCPP and its benefits can be found on our resources page.

Can multiple EV charging stations be installed at my campus?

Yes. Multiple electrical vehicle charging stations can be installed at the same location on your campus. You can connect up to 20 units of the iEVSE and iEVSE Plus systems, allowing you to control the output of current to each station, also known as local load management or balancing.

How does an EV charger work?

In North America, all EVs and PHEVs use the standard SAE J1772 plug, also known as the J plug. The only exception are Tesla vehicles, but they typically come with an adaptor at purchase or a replacement can be bought online. The J plug attaches to the vehicle’s port, delivering electrical charge.

The EVSE and iEVSE stations are installed by plugging them into a 240v outlet with NEMA 6-50 plug type, but the iEVSE Plus is hardwired only. A certified electrician should handle the installation of an electrical source, like the 240v outlet, or to hardwire the system(s).

How are EvoCharge stations installed?

Each unit requires a 208-240VAC plug, Single Phase and dedicated 40A supply circuit. The supply circuit can be adjusted for use with a 30A or 20A supply circuit. EVSE and iEVSE units come with the NEMA-6-50 plug or can be hardwired by a certified electrician, but the iEVSE Plus must be hardwired. Please hire an experienced electrician for installation.
