In a tourist-driven economy like Mason County, consider installing an electric vehicle charging station for your customer’s use. Studies show that electric vehicle owners are typically more affluent, and are more willing to spend money on accommodations during weekend road trips and get-a-ways in their EV.
In addition to a Level 2 EVSE (Future proof tip: aim for 80 amps or better), commercial installations are encouraged to supply a NEMA 14-50 and a single NEMA 5-30 for a wide range of Electric Vehicle accessibility. Direct Current Quick Charge (DCQC) equipment, aka Level 3 Quick Chargers, are also growing in popularity and should be considered in strategic locations. Please contact PUD 3 if you are considering the installation of a DCQC EVSE. Unique electrical requirements apply.
Commercial customers who provide access to an EVSE are not a re-seller of electricity as a utility. Rather, they provide (for free or a fee), a service, namely to charge an Electric Vehicle’s fuel supply.
