Question: How do we best explore charger hardware, current management software and recharging software if a lot owner wish to install a charger?
We installed cable racks in our car parks to facilitate future EV car charging hardware installation in individual lot owner’s car spaces, i.e., cabling to distribution boards. We checked that we have sufficient switchboard capacity for a number of slow charges.
How can we best explore charger hardware, current management software and recharging software in the future should a lot owner wish to install a charger?
Answer: Level one charging is the most scalable option.
The size of the building doesn’t matter. Level one charging is the most scalable option, providing a solution where the residents simply pay for a device to be installed, and the supplier manages power thresholds at both circuit and site levels through rotation and load balancing. This approach offers the fastest, lowest cost, and most versatile solution.
While level two chargers are an option, unless you have substantial available power and significant resident demand for rapid charging, level two chargers will result in wasted infrastructure, increased expenditure, and considerable time and cost.
