EV Charging - Level 1 Site Assessment
BACKGROUND
Strata owners NOW have a much simpler pathway to installing electric vehicle recharging, including:
- Electricity capacity for Level 1 charging is via a 10 Amp or 15 Amp cable. This is what supplies an average power point.
- Billing -each power point is wired back to the EV-DB, so to activate the charging account, the resident uses their credit card.
- Dynamic load management means that the current supply to the EV-DB is set to what’s available. If multiple users plug in, the system shares the available energy.
- The investment required starts at around $5,000 to purchase and wire up a 6 user EV-DB.
- Users pay a monthly fee of $10.00 only IF the connection is active.
- Energy is charged at a 5 cent per kW loading, to pay for the system.
EV Charging in Strata is NOW simple
Installing an RPG EV-DB in a strata car park is an easy investment.
- To get started, you will need to know who WANTS or OWNS an EV.
Strata By-laws to be drafted, based on any by-laws for the SP. agreements.
- Site specific layout of the car bays to be energised and existing cabling, requires a Site Assessment.
- RPG will provide you quote based on instructions from the Owners Corporation, via your Strata Manager and Committee.
SITE ASSESSMENT STAGE
Key outputs from a Site Assessment will be:
- Energy distribution review – what’s in the building – and what’s needed.
- Demand analysis – who wants an EV charger and where in the car park is the GPO to be located?.
- System specifications – Circuit breakers, Static & Dynamic load management, Data connections, Charging & Billing etc. will be specified.
- Costings for the RPG EV-DB and connections to GPO’s with timeframes for a Roll-out.
