Workplace EV Charger
Future-Proof Investment: The Strategic Value of Dual Compatibility
The transition to NACS is accelerating. Our 48A workplace charger provides unparalleled certainty by natively supporting both the legacy SAE J1772 (Type 1) and the emerging NACS connector standard. For facility managers, this means: Eliminating Stranded Assets—your infrastructure remains valuable regardless of market changes; Universal Accessibility—attracting and retaining top talent by guaranteeing charging access for every EV owner on your team. This strategic advantage ensures maximum ROI and longevity for your charging program.
Optimize Power Costs with Advanced OCPP 2.0.1 Management
The profitability of workplace charging hinges on managing electricity consumption. The Linkpower CS300, integrated with advanced OCPP 2.0.1 protocols, goes beyond basic scheduling. Our Smart Energy Management system dynamically adjusts charging loads based on real-time building usage, allowing you to: Avoid Expensive Peak Rates by shifting consumption; Scale Infrastructure Easily without costly utility upgrades; and Generate Revenue Reports for simplified internal billing and cost recovery. This makes your charging program a cost-efficient asset, not an operational burden.
LinkPower Engineering Case Study: Maximizing Facility Value in Tech Hubs
Case Study: InnovateTech Park, Redmond, Washington, USA
Location: Redmond, WA, a key technology and high-demand commercial zone. Client: InnovateTech Park Management LLC Key Contact: Ms. Sarah Jenkins, Facility Operations Director
The Challenge: Future-Proofing and Power Limits
In early 2024, Ms. Sarah Jenkins, Facility Operations Director at InnovateTech Park—a high-tech campus with 1,500 employees in the Seattle metropolitan area—faced two pressing challenges:
-
Future-Proofing Anxiety (NACS Transition Risk): With major automakers adopting the NACS standard, new EV purchases by park employees were shifting to NACS. The existing J1772 chargers risked becoming obsolete assets, necessitating a dual-compatible solution.
-
Grid Overload Risk (Power Limits): The park’s existing electrical infrastructure was near capacity. Adding 20 new Level 2 chargers risked triggering expensive peak demand charges during the 3 PM to 6 PM window, potentially requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars in costly transformer upgrades.
Sarah Jenkins Quote: "Our old chargers weren't smart enough to adapt to our peak energy needs, and we risked investing heavily in infrastructure that would soon be obsolete due to the NACS switch."
LinkPower Solution & Implementation
The LinkPower Commercial Solutions team partnered with InnovateTech Park, implementing the following phased approach:
| Implementation Detail | Value Proposition |
| Deployment of 20 LinkPower 48A CS300 Stations. | 48A High-Power Output ensured employees could achieve rapid top-offs during the workday, increasing the utilization and turnover rate of parking spaces. |
| Activation of J1772/NACS Dual-Compatibility. | Future-Proof Asset Protection. All employees, regardless of whether they drove J1772 or NACS EVs, received seamless charging access, eliminating the risk of facility obsolescence. |
| Activation of OCPP 2.0.1 Smart Load Management. | Cost Optimization. The system was programmed to automatically throttle charging current during the highest building load (3 PM to 6 PM), avoiding costly peak demand penalties. |
Results Analysis & Value for the Reader
Within the first six months of deploying the LinkPower CS300, InnovateTech Park achieved these key outcomes:
-
Operational Cost Savings: The park successfully avoided a $45,000 transformer upgrade and reduced peak demand electrical penalties by 98% through intelligent load management.
-
Employee Satisfaction: Dual-compatibility eliminated employee frustration over connector standards, elevating the value of the facility amenity.
-
Asset Longevity: By natively supporting the NACS standard, Sarah Jenkins secured the longevity of the chargers as high-value operational assets for the next decade.
Value Summary: For commercial clients facing grid limitations and the NACS transition, selecting a charger with 48A power, OCPP 2.0.1 smart management, and native dual-compatibility is the optimal strategic choice for achieving cost control, asset protection, and employee satisfaction.
