Zero Waiting Zaps Downtime
Planning to refuel your fleet at public charging stations? They’re often crowded, unreliable and all too scarce—exposing you to unpredictability and delays.
Transitioning to an electric fleet? On-site charging is essential for maximizing uptime and operational efficiency. With Qmerit’s turnkey charging solutions for depot-based fleets, you can keep your EVs rolling with ease.

Control Costs & Keep Your Fleet Charged on Your Schedule

Planning to refuel your fleet at public charging stations? They’re often crowded, unreliable and all too scarce—exposing you to unpredictability and delays.

Charging at your own facility typically costs less than public fast-charging, and you can save even more by capitalizing on time-of-use utility rates.

On-site chargers allow you to track energy use more closely, and can be integrated with your fleet management software to plan charging schedules based on vehicle routes and priorities.

Adding EV chargers can help your business garner utility rebates, grants and/or tax credits—offsetting your investment.

Level 2 Charging
On average, installing Level 2 commercial EV charging stations for fleet use will cost anywhere from $3,500 to $15,000 per port. The price will depend on various factors such as the complexity of the installation, distance from the chargers to a power source or electric panel, and any other service or infrastructure upgrades required to support the charging stations.
DC Fast Charging
On average, installing DC fast chargers will cost anywhere from $18,000 to $350,000+ per port. The price will depend on various factors such as the complexity of the installation, features of the charging stations selected, their proximity to a power source or electric panel, and any other service or infrastructure upgrades required.

Level 2 Charging
Level 2 charging is ideal for light and medium-duty EV fleet vehicles that charge in home, workplace, public and depot environments. Level 2 charging uses a 240V circuit, and can provide 10-75 miles of range per hour—sufficient for topping off EV batteries during extended periods of inactivity or overnight. Level 2 chargers are significantly cheaper to install and require less complex electrical infrastructure than DC fast chargers.
DC Fast Charging
DC fast charging is designed for high-speed charging in under an hour and is better suited for medium- and heavy-duty trucks or heavy-use EV fleet vehicles that demand short dwell times. DC fast chargers can add up to 180-240 miles of range per hour, but their high installation and maintenance costs make them less prevalent.
Ultimately, the best charging solution depends on your fleet’s unique needs and goals.

Yes, various rebates and tax credits may be available to offset installation costs. These may include but are not limited to a 30% federal tax credit, additional state tax credits and utility rebates ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars per each new EV charging port.
To learn more, check out our guide to EV charging rebates and incentives by state.
The 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit is a federal tax credit worth 30% of the cost of installing electric vehicle charging equipment (up to $100,000). It’s available for businesses and commercial property owners who install EV charging stations in qualified locations, with prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements.
Commercial EV charging station maintenance is crucial for reliability and cost-effectiveness, involving a mix of regular inspections, cleaning and professional maintenance checks. Preventive maintenance—including visual inspections, testing and firmware updates—helps minimize downtime and extend the lifespan of the equipment.
Qmerit provides comprehensive EVSE maintenance and warranty support packages, including proactive monitoring, rapid repairs by certified electricians, and data analytics to predict maintenance needs. Qmerit’s focus on preventive maintenance helps fleet owners avoid costly downtime, enhance charger reliability and ensure customer satisfaction.

The best charging solution depends on your fleet’s unique needs and goals.
Level 2 chargers are suitable for fleets with predictable, low-urgency charging needs, such as overnight charging at home and at depots. They’re cost-effective and meet the energy demands of most light- and medium-duty vehicles, with a charging time of 4-8 hours for a full charge. For fleets with take-home vehicles, providing Level 2 home chargers can reduce depot congestion and streamline operations.
DC fast chargers are more ideal for fleets with high utilization rates or rapid turnaround requirements, such as long-haul or delivery vehicles. They can recharge batteries in under an hour but involve significantly higher infrastructure and operational costs.
EV charging stations are a smart investment—and they could pay off even more with rebates and other incentives for commercial charger installations.
