Commercial chargers open to the public

The right power,
in the right place.

MeCharge sells commercial chargers through dedicated advice: we listen to your needs, identify suitable hardware from 11 to 400 kW and define the installation and management process.

This is not an online catalogue purchase: the proposal starts with the location, users and parking time.

Buying with MeCharge

Advice first, then a hardware proposal

We do not recommend the same charger to everyone. We gather project information and suggest a configuration suited to the customer's usage, installation and objectives.

1

Tell us what you need

Location, users, parking spaces, parking duration and service objectives.

2

We analyse the site

We assess available power, access, necessary works and expansion options.

3

We recommend hardware

We identify suitable technology, power and number of points, without oversizing the project.

4

We define supply and management

We prepare a proposal that can include chargers, the installation process and connection to MeCharge services.

Before choosing power

Start with how people will charge

1

How long will they park?
Ten minutes, an hour, dinner or overnight completely changes the choice.

2

How many vehicles will arrive?
Total available power matters, not just the rating on each charger.

3

Where is the point?
Amenities, visibility, access and traffic flow determine the installation's actual usefulness.

4

Which cars will use it?
Every vehicle accepts a different maximum power and may not use all that is offered.

From 11 to 400 kW

AC, DC, rapid and HPC: what actually changes

Power is expressed in kW. kWh measures the energy actually transferred during charging.

11–22 kWAC · alternating current

For stays of several hours

A commercial solution suited to hotels, restaurants with long stays, all-day car parks and workplaces. Actual speed also depends on the car's onboard charger.

Indicative time for 40 kWh: about 2–5 hours*
30–49 kWDC · direct current

For medium-length stays

Shorter times than AC, potentially suited to fast-food venues, local retail, urban car parks and destinations with stays of around an hour.

Indicative time for 40 kWh: about 50–90 minutes*
50–149 kWRapid DC

For short stays and good turnover

Suited to supermarkets, shopping centres, urban service stations and locations where customers stay twenty minutes to around an hour.

Indicative time for 40 kWh: about 20–50 minutes*
150–349 kWUltra-rapid DC

For travel corridors

For drivers who want to leave quickly. Requires compatible vehicles, high electrical capacity and careful station design.

Indicative time for 40 kWh: about 10–25 minutes*
350–400 kWHPC · High Power Charging

For very high-turnover stations

Designed for motorway areas, major routes and high-demand hubs. Grid capacity, simultaneous use, cooling and reliability are central.

Maximum power is reached only with compatible vehicles and conditions.*

* Times are purely indicative: battery, temperature, charge level, vehicle charging curve, power sharing and losses affect actual speed. Charging normally slows as the battery approaches full.

European regulations classify points up to 22 kW as normal power and those above 22 kW as high power. The DC bands shown follow European categories for public infrastructure data; “HPC” is a commercial term commonly used for very high-power charging. Read the AFIR Regulation.

Practical examples

A charger works best when it suits parking time

A poorly matched choice

11 kW on an expressway without amenities

Drivers on major routes want to regain range and leave. Without a restaurant, shops or another reason to stay for hours, an 11 kW AC charger risks low use.

Consider: rapid DC or 150–400 kW HPC.
A suitable choice

11–22 kW at a hotel

The car stays parked for hours. AC can supply sufficient energy overnight without necessarily requiring extreme power.

Consider: multiple AC points and power management.
A choice to size carefully

50–150 kW at a supermarket

A thirty- to sixty-minute stay allows meaningful charging and parking turnover, provided access and demand are suitable.

Consider: traffic, average stay and simultaneous peaks.
Unused power

400 kW at a low-demand destination

An HPC station requires significant investment and electrical capacity. If vehicles are few or parked for long periods, lower power can make more sense.

Consider: expected use and financial sustainability.
The MeCharge process

From charger selection to public service

1

Site analysis

We assess location, parking times, accessibility, demand and financial objectives.

2

Power selection

We compare AC and DC, number of points and total power required.

3

Installation

We plan electrical installation, connection and commissioning with technicians.

4

Public operation

We connect compatible chargers to MeCharge for users, charging and operational control.

What we assess

A commercial station is a system, not just a charger

The project must work technically, be simple for customers and sustainable for the operator.

  • Available power and potential supply upgrade
  • Number of points and simultaneous sessions
  • AC or DC and maximum power per point
  • Connectors, parking and accessibility
  • Payment for occasional users too
  • Data connection and remote control
  • OCPP compatibility with the platform
  • Signage, assistance and maintenance
Frequently asked questions

Answers before choosing

Does MeCharge sell chargers directly?

Yes, but not through a marketplace or online shop. Sales follow consultation: we analyse the project and propose suitable hardware with an installation and management approach.

Does a 400 kW charger always charge faster?

No. The car determines accepted power and speed changes during charging. A vehicle accepting less power will not use all the 400 kW available.

Is AC or DC better for a public station?

It mainly depends on parking duration. AC suits a car parked for a long time; DC is preferable when it needs to leave quickly.

Can I start with a few chargers and expand later?

Yes. A good design allows space, electrical infrastructure and power to add points as demand grows.

Can MeCharge manage different charger brands?

This is possible with compatible models. Before installation or connection we check that they communicate correctly with the platform.

I already have a commercial charger: how do I manage it?

If compatible and configurable, connect it to a control area to check status, sessions, energy and available functions without replacing it.

How do drivers pay for charging?

After activation, users see the price before starting and use the access and payment systems included in the service.

What if there is not enough available power?

Assess the number of points, simultaneous use and load management. Sometimes the project is resized; in other cases a supply upgrade is investigated.

How much does installing and managing a public charger cost?

It depends on power, electrical work, connection, number of points, maintenance and management services. A site assessment provides a reliable quote.

Haven't chosen your charger yet?

We assess the location and help design a commercial solution from 11 to 400 kW.
