SALE & TURNKEY INSTALLATION!
As the market for commercial (and residential) installation of EV charging stations is expected to grow exponentially between 2018 and 2023, LMS Energy is proud to be one of the leading suppliers and installers of EVCS in Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. This growth is attributed to the majority of key automakers’ shift in focus toward affordable production of electric vehicles and hence, increased deployment of charging stations at public places such as shopping malls, commercial buildings, airports and across the hospitality industry. Additional key factors include government funding, subsidies and incentives, growing demand for electric vehicles & growing concern toward environmental pollution.
As an established leader in the LED Lighting and Solar industries in the state, LMS Energy is proud to be a part of the development in electrical infrastructure and assist our commercial and residential customers with their charging needs!

EV Charging Today
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular across the United States. However, before a widespread transition to EVs can occur, a sufficient network of EV Charging Stations must be created for EV owners to have peace of mind. Since the majority of existing infrastructure is public areas, commercial spaces and single-family dwellings, -- commercial property owners & managers may want to start thinking about including charging stations in their buildings.
Benefits of Creating an EV Infrastructure:
Tenant attraction and retention
A great way for property owners and managers to attract and retain tenants who own or plan on purchasing electric cars; hosting a charging station will exemplify building’s or property management company’s environmental values, thus attracting tenants & customers who share these values. In some cases, offering these stations free of charge will create a positive PR image for corporate branding
User Charging & Parking Fees
Charging station hosts have the ability to generate revenue through the station’s services. This will require installation of a SMART EV Charging Station. Such stations bring customers to your business and provides them the power they need to get to their next destination.
Employee Attraction & Retention
Businesses that offer charging stations are able to attract new employees who want to charge their electric vehicles while at work, while able to retain employees who plan on purchasing an EV in the near future. Additionally, it is very important for employees (even those who do not drive EVs to work) to know that their employer is proactive with transportation planning.

Residential EV
Charging Stations
Easy Installation!
LMS Energy offers sale & installation of all types of residential charging stations for your electric car.
Since residential charging is convenient and inexpensive, the majority of plug-in electric vehicle (EVs) drivers do more than 80% of their charging at home, usually in a garage, allowing drivers to take advantage of the low & stable electricity rates (charging at multi-family residential complex, like a condominium or apartment, can be complex and more similar to commercial charging).
Costs to Charge at Home
Fuel costs for electric vehicles are much lower than for conventional vehicles. Based on the national average of 12 cents/KwH, fully charging an all-electric vehicle with 100-mile range and depleted battery would cost about the same as operating an average AC unit for 6 hours.
Equipment to Charge at Home
Home charging can use either the relatively simple Level 1 electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) or slightly more complex Level 2 EVSE. Charging with Level 2 EVSE is faster and can be more convenient, but it requires special equipment that costs more to install than Level 1.
Level 1 EVSE: Provides charging through a 120 volt (V) AC plug and adds about 2 to 5 miles of range to a vehicle per hour of charging time. Charging with Level 1 EVSE will not require any special equipment besides an outlet, but WILL require a dedicated branch circuit.
Level 2 EVSE: Provides charging through a 240V AC plug. Level 2 adds about 10 to 60 miles of range to a vehicle per hour of charging time, making it suitable for all EVs. Using Level 2 EVSE requires drivers install special charging equipment as well as have a dedicated electrical circuit of 20 to 200 Amps.
