What people actually reported
Four ChargePoint L2s for ~$9,600; no complaints so far
“We went with ChargePoint at our shop, four 80A L2 units two years ago for about $9,600 total. No complaints so far, and we leave them open to the public during the day.”

Four EV drivers share one L2; unsure how to enforce limits
“We're a small company with four EV drivers sharing one L2, and I'm leaning toward limiting it to charging for the commute, but I'm not sure how you'd enforce that without it turning into a fight.”

Plans 10 AWG dedicated circuits for later L2 upgrade
“small company of about a dozen, and management will do outlets but doesn't want to budget much for real chargers. I'm leaning toward running dedicated circuits with 10 AWG so they can be upgraded to L2 later without opening walls again.”

Conduit room forces daisy-chaining units off one breaker
“the conduit to our lot only has room for one set of wires, so I'm planning around daisy-chaining units off a single breaker instead of pulling new runs.”
@dkwiatek
Found Energy.gov workplace charging guides useful for pitching
“the Energy.gov Workplace Charging Challenge material is worth a look. It has planning guides and examples from other employers, and it helped me figure out what to ask for before pitching it.”

Helping company plan ports at two sites; seeks rebate info
“I'm in a similar spot, helping my company look at ports for two sites, one in Illinois and one in Wisconsin. Has anyone found a good place to see which rebates and tax credits businesses can actually claim?”

Pitching workplace charging via sustainability commitments
“My boss pointed me to the facilities manager and said it ties into our sustainability commitments, so that's the angle I'm leading with.”
