Apartment EV Charging FAQ's - How do we know if we have enough power or require an upgrade?

• A detailed electrical load analysis needs to be performed to determine the existing and future electrical load, taking into consideration the increased demand from the EV charging stations. This is inevitable anyway as Australia moves away from Gas for cooktops and water heating so most buildings will require some form of upgrade to cater for electric cooktops and hot water units.
• In most cases there is enough capacity in an existing building for EV charging infrastructure, especially at night during off-peak periods.

By using smart chargers we can program each charge point to only use the spare capacity in a building, this is done by monitoring the buildings power supply and managing the chargers with our load management software.

Load managed chargers are much more efficient at charging as they modulate the charge rate depending on real time conditions meaning every car is charged at the maximum rate it can without worry of losing power to the site due to over consumption
