EV Infrastructure Feasibility for Residential Stata Buildings
EV Charging
Over 100 EV Charging Infrastructure Feasibility assessments for apartment buildings with up to 350 spaces, for facility/owners corporations.
Key Achievements:
- Electrical assessment of existing infrastructure for EV charging capacity to meet immediate, medium and long term requirements.
- Identification of low-risk connection points for EV infrastructure.
- Recommendations and detailed costing estimations for additional electrical infrastructure, charging ratings, types and load management systems (LMS); with the long term aim of providing chargers to every car parking space; whilst minimising expensive electrical upgrades.
Impact
Project Scope
- Feasibility assessment and preliminary design, strategy, and cost estimate for Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE).
- Assessment of existing common or house electrical infrastructure by in-house engineers and electricians.
- Recommendations for a staged approach to future EV charging infrastructure requirements.
- Concept layout design for preliminary costing purposes.
- CAPEX and OPEX.
- Cost recovery methods.
- Key financial impacts and peak demand assessment.
- Carpark concept layouts.
- Shared EV charging.
- EV backbone and last mile connection for individual carpark spaces.
- Risk identification and mitigation.
- Report presentation to owners corporations.
Project Details
- Assessment of over 100 apartment buildings, some with multiple common/house NMIs and up to 350 car spaces.
- Installation of 7-22kW AC chargers and DC chargers with load management systems for both individual and shared parking bays.
- Electrical backbone infrastructure providing owners with straightforward EV connection when required.
- Charging options include standard GPOs and smart GPOs.
Project Challenges
- Unknown site maximum demand, limited electrical documentation, and limited onsite labeling.
- Balancing future EV charging needs with minimal electrical and grid supply upgrades.
- Lack of agreement among apartment owners.
- Project financing constraints.
- Limited stakeholder understanding of new technology
