Pedestal EV Chargers are electric vehicle charging stations mounted on a freestanding pedestal base rather than attached to a wall. This setup is particularly ideal for public, commercial, or outdoor locations where wall mounting is not possible or practical. The pedestal elevates the charging unit to a convenient height and protects the charger from environmental damage, vandalism, and misuse. These chargers are commonly installed in parking lots, apartment complexes, retail centers, and municipal buildings. Their strong, stable base ensures reliable long-term operation even in areas with high vehicle turnover. Choosing pedestal-mounted stations allows businesses and cities to offer accessible, visible, and professional EV charging options to drivers while meeting infrastructure standards and building codes.

Yes, most Pedestal EV Chargers offered at E3 Électricité are designed to be compatible with a wide range of Level 2 and Level 3 charging stations. They feature standardized mounting plates, pre-drilled bolt patterns, and universal connection options that allow for integration with popular charging brands like EVduty, ChargePoint, and more. This flexibility makes them ideal for property developers, fleet managers, or business owners who may want to switch or upgrade charging stations over time. Additionally, several of our pedestal models support dual-head installations, allowing you to charge two vehicles simultaneously. If you’re unsure about compatibility, our team is available to help you choose a pedestal that fits your current and future EV infrastructure needs.

Absolutely. Our Pedestal EV Chargers are specifically selected for their ability to perform reliably in Québec’s diverse and often extreme weather conditions. Built from powder-coated steel or heavy-duty aluminum, these pedestals are corrosion-resistant and designed to handle snow, freezing rain, and ice accumulation. Their rugged construction helps prevent tipping, damage, or rusting — even in high-traffic or poorly sheltered areas. Many models feature integrated cable management systems to reduce tripping hazards and wear on the cables. Whether installed in a commercial lot or a public parking area, these pedestals maintain stability and functionality through winter storms, hot summers, and everything in between. With proper installation, your charging infrastructure remains safe, durable, and efficient year-round.

Pedestal EV Chargers provide key advantages over wall-mounted systems, especially for businesses, public institutions, and multi-unit residential buildings. First, they offer flexible placement in open spaces like parking lots, where walls are unavailable. This is crucial for accommodating high-traffic areas or planning uniform rows of chargers. Second, pedestal mounting ensures better visibility and easier access for all users, including those with mobility concerns. Third, these chargers typically include built-in cable holders and protective housing, reducing wear and improving aesthetics. Choosing pedestal chargers also simplifies maintenance and standardizes installation, making future expansions easier. For a scalable and professional EV charging infrastructure, pedestal systems are often the preferred long-term investment for any high-use or shared environment.
