Keep reading to find out why we suggest having one installed at your company, then contact us at 661-728-0126 for help with all your commercial electrical needs.

1. The number of electric car owners is growing quickly

First of all, let us consider just how many people now have electric cars and how many are joining the ranks every day. According to the main database of electric vehicle world sales, the number of owners of these vehicles is growing by around 20% every six months. In the United States, there are more than dozen car companies making EV vehicles and many models people can choose from. These people all need somewhere to charge their car.

2. Do your part to improve air quality

There is no way around it: Southern California is more polluted than anyone wants it to be. This pollution can be an eyesore and an annoyance, but it also comes with undesirable consequences for our health. Electric vehicles do not result in emissions, which helps them improve air quality. Be a part of the solution by having a charging system installed at your company.

3. Enjoy tax benefits

If you have an EV charging station, you are likely to get your own EV vehicle. After all, why wouldn’t you when you have the ability to charge it from work? If you do buy one, you can get a tax credit ranging from $2,500 all the way up to $7,500. It all depends on how large the battery is.

4. Attract the best employees

In the past, companies generally focused on one thing to find and retain the best employees: High wages. While no employee is going to turn their nose up at a raise, the reality is that with low unemployment, many job seekers are looking for more than just a paycheck. They want to work somewhere that offers advantages and conveniences. A charging station for an EV could be what pushes them over the edge into choosing your company over another.
