Project Overview
In collaboration with the management company, we identified the rear shared car park as the ideal location for the EV charging solution. The installation serves 8 available bays . The charging stations operate on a “charge and move” system to ensure efficient use of space, allowing residents to access the bays as needed.
An initial energy assessment and further metering analysis revealed that the site’s existing electrical supply was sufficient to support the charging stations.
We installed a new O-PEN distribution network board that feeds all the solution and houses a central point of isolation for emergencies and maintenance.
To prevent overloads and enhance efficiency, smart load-balancing technology was integrated into the system, ensuring even distribution of the electrical load across all active charging stations.
Installation Details
Given the open design of the car park, we carefully planned cable routes to preserve the estate’s aesthetics and landscaping. The charging stations are mounted to the façade away from possible care strikes and located inn a way that up to 10 cars can access these point from various parking bays.
The entire system is now fully operational and integrated with the Future-Tap billing platform, providing residents with an easy, efficient way to access and manage their EV charging needs.
