EV Charging Stations for Restaurants designed around visit duration and location type
Guests park, have lunch or dinner while their EV charges. UGV Chargers will design an AC or DC solution based on visit duration, number of parking spaces, available electrical capacity and operating model.
Which scenario best matches your restaurant?
The station type is best selected according to how long guests stay and whether the location is urban or transit-oriented.
Lunch, dinner or a meeting
Guests stay longer. In this scenario, AC charging is often the natural starting point.
View AC solution →I want to offer paid charging
The station should work as an additional service or as paid public charging.
View payments and operation →Roadside restaurant or transit location
Guests stop for a shorter time. Fast DC charging may be more suitable.
View DC solution →Use the time guests already spend at your location
Charging fits naturally into the visit: the car remains parked while the guest uses your services.
A new service for guests
Guests do not need to look for another charging location during their visit.
Practical use of parking space
A parking space can also provide an EV charging service while the vehicle is parked.
A competitive advantage
For an EV driver, charging can be a practical reason to choose your restaurant over another location.
Guest benefit or paid service
Charging can be free or discounted or operated as a commercial service.
AC or DC Charging Station for a Restaurant?
The main factor is guest visit duration and the location of the business.
AC charging 7–44 kW
For an urban restaurant, hospitality business or hotel, where guests stay for lunch, dinner or a meeting.
DC fast charging 40–400 kW
For a roadside restaurant or restaurant on a main road or a busy location, where charging speed matters more.
They have lunch. The car charges meanwhile.
Arrival
The guest parks at the restaurant.
Connection
The EV is connected to the charging point.
Visit
The car charges during lunch, dinner or a meeting.
Departure
The guest continues the journey with additional charge.
One station, two charging points
If the restaurant has several parking spaces, a dual-port AC solution can charge two vehicles simultaneously without requiring two separate stations.
You decide how charging will operate
Free for guests
Charging can be included as a benefit within the customer service offering.
Discounted for guests
Depending on the selected operating model, different rules can apply to different user groups.
Paid public charging
The station can operate as a standalone commercial charging service.
Payment directly at the station
Selected UGV Chargers configurations can be equipped with a payment terminal as an option. With the payment service configured correctly, the driver can pay directly at the station without creating an account in the mobile app.
Supported stations can also offer guest mode through a web interface.
View AC charging stations →Monitor the station without being physically on site
UGV Chargers allows the station to connect to a software platform and, depending on the project, manage operation remotely.
We tailor the solution to the location
Urban restaurant
AC charging for lunch, dinner or a business meeting.
Restaurant with its own car park
Single- or dual-port AC solution depending on the number of spaces.
Roadside restaurant
DC charging for shorter stops by drivers on the route.
Location on a main road
Fast DC solution for a busy transit location.
You do not need to choose the power or station type yourself
We will prepare the technical configuration according to actual operation.
Location type
Urban restaurant, roadside restaurant or transit location.
Visit duration
Helps determine whether AC or DC charging is more suitable.
Number of spaces
We will recommend the number of charging points according to the car park.
Available electrical capacity
If you do not know it, we will explain what needs to be checked.
How much does an EV charging station for a restaurant cost?
The price depends on AC/DC type, charging power and number of ports, selected equipment and the technical conditions of the location. A specific quotation is prepared after an initial project assessment.
AC and DC solutions for hospitality businesses
The catalogue includes available power levels and configurations. For a specific restaurant, however, we recommend choosing the solution according to visit duration, parking and available electrical capacity.
