Sizing Your First DC Fast Charger: 30kW vs 60kW vs 120kW
A practical guide to picking the right charger power for hotels, highways, malls and fleet depots.
The right charger is the one that matches your traffic pattern, your grid capacity and your ROI horizon.
30kW works beautifully for dealerships, boutique hotels and destination charging where guests stay for 45+ minutes.
60kW is the workhorse for offices, malls and mid-tier highway plazas — fast enough to feel premium, cheap enough to scale.
120kW and above belong on highways, transit corridors and fleet depots where throughput is the whole business model.
