Commercial Charging

Commercial EV charging that is easier to specify, install, and scale.

PlugStream helps workplaces, shared parking environments, and destination sites choose charging hardware that matches the power available, the drivers expected, and the rollout path ahead.

Commercial Priorities

Good commercial charging decisions are operational decisions.

Commercial EV charging needs more than a product sheet. The right plan has to balance site capacity, user behaviour, install repeatability, and how the system will be run after handover.

Specify the right charger for the site

Match charger format and output to the supply, the dwell time, the parking model, and the level of scale the site needs now and later.

Resolve the site constraints early

Plan network access, 4G fallbacks, CT placement, site measurement and support needs before the charger schedule becomes the only conversation.

Operate with long-term flexibility

Open platform thinking, software updates and scalable site intelligence help commercial projects grow without locking themselves into short-term decisions.

Site issues

Resolve the problems that make commercial installs harder.

The charger model matters, but the site constraints usually decide whether the project is easy to operate. Plan the network route, energy measurements and support model before handover.

The site network is restricted or unreliable

Use PlugStream Connect Link with PlugStream Connect where Wi-Fi, Ethernet access or IT policy makes the charger network route uncertain.

Resolve with 4G

CT cable routes are awkward or expensive

Use PlugStream Flow wireless CT placement to measure from the right electrical location without dragging long visible CT runs back to every charger.

Resolve with Flow

Multiple chargers need one site energy view

Use PlugStream Flow and Flow Link modules where compatible PlugStream chargers need richer local site context and support evidence.

Plan Flow

The site needs support evidence after handover

Use PlugStream Sentinel to add managed monitoring, reporting, support snapshots and migration continuity for commercial charging estates.

Managed support

Need ongoing support, not just hardware?

PlugStream Sentinel gives commercial sites a managed support route for monitoring, user management, issue response, reporting and third-party charger migration assessments.

Use Cases

Built for the places commercial charging is actually needed

PlugStream is designed to suit a range of commercial environments, from lower-power shared parking to higher-demand three-phase sites.

Workplaces

Support employees and visitors with smart charging that fits office hours, fleet return windows, and energy cost planning.

Apartment and shared parking

Deploy chargers that suit multi-user environments where cable flexibility, load management, and clear operating policies matter.

Hospitality and destination sites

Make on-site charging part of the customer experience while choosing hardware that can scale with rising EV adoption.

Business and mixed-use estates

Create charging infrastructure that works across staff, visitors, and staged expansion without rethinking the whole platform each time.

Delivery Path

A practical rollout path for commercial charging

Commercial projects move faster when the technical, operational, and user-facing decisions are aligned early.

Stage 1

Define the site goals: who is charging, how long they stay, and what power is available today.

Stage 2

Choose the right product path: PlugStream 7 for everyday AC, PlugStream 22S or 22T for higher-demand AC roles, or the PlugStream DC product preview for fast-charging projects.

Stage 3

Plan connectivity, 4G requirements, PlugStream Flow wireless CT placement and site measurement needs before installation starts.

Stage 4

Scope Sentinel support, reporting and migration continuity where the site needs managed evidence after handover.

Need scalable site hardware?

The PlugStream 22 family covers higher-demand three-phase AC with socketed 22S and tethered 22T. Public-charging projects can add MID metering and a separate terminal to 22S. Projects that need 60–300 kW can also explore the modular PlugStream DC product preview.

FAQ

Commercial charging questions

Answers for buyers, operators, and installers evaluating the PlugStream range.

Which PlugStream product suits commercial sites best?

It depends on the site. PlugStream 7S suits flexible lower-power bays, the PlugStream 22 family provides socketed or tethered higher-power AC charging, and public projects can add MID metering and a separate terminal to 22S. PlugStream DC is the product preview for 60–300 kW fast-charging projects.

Can PlugStream support workplaces and multi-bay installations?

Yes. PlugStream is designed for commercial rollout planning with load management, PlugStream Connect Link 4G options, PlugStream Flow site intelligence and installer-friendly commissioning.

What if the site network is not available for chargers?

Specify PlugStream Connect Link where Wi-Fi or Ethernet is not suitable, then add the right PlugStream Connect plan as part of the quote route.

When should PlugStream Flow be included in a commercial design?

Include PlugStream Flow where CT placement, solar or storage context, RS485 integration, enhanced load-management context or support evidence matters to the site design.

Why does content matter for commercial charging decisions?

Commercial buyers need more than a product name and power rating. They need clarity on site fit, rollout approach, support, compliance, and how the system will operate after installation.
