Selecting a Commercial charger

Commercial Users

(Larger & Complex Installations)

Investing in large and complex EV charging installations requires a holistic approach that encompasses technological sophistication, scalability, and community engagement. By considering these factors, investors can position themselves to meet the demands of a growing electric vehicle market while contributing to the development of a robust charging infrastructure.


Typically, commercial applications for large private and government fleets, public charging stations and hubs, infrastructure locations, destination locations, and shopping centres and carparks with multiple charge points and demand for fast charging are better suited to DC Charging.


Other commercial applications such as motels, parking lots, businesses with smaller fleets, carparks with a handful of charging outlets, or businesses wanting to offer a convenience or paid top-up charge to their customers or other users may be able to use cheaper AC Chargers.


Using our guide below will be a good starting point to understand your requirements and we will be happy to have a discussion about what charging solutions are suitable and how we can help.


1.     Comprehensive Site Analysis


Before embarking on the project to establish widespread Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, it is essential to conduct a Comprehensive Site Analysis. This in-depth examination involves analysing factors such as traffic patterns, demographics, and proximity to key locations to determine the most effective deployment strategy.


Additionally, evaluating the existing electrical infrastructure is crucial to ensure it can support large-scale charging stations. By conducting this thorough analysis, you can make informed decisions that align with the site's unique characteristics, creating a resilient and efficient EV charging network that meets the needs of the community and surrounding areas.


2. 

High-Charging Capacity

In order to establish a strong and effective Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, it is crucial to prioritise High Charging Capacity. This requires strategic investments in advanced charging technology, such as Level 3 DC fast chargers, which can accommodate a large number of vehicles while significantly reducing charging times.


We understand the diverse needs of EV users and aim for a customised approach that caters to different charging speeds. By offering a well-rounded mix of options, our charging network can adapt to the varying requirements of electric vehicle owners, promoting inclusivity and efficiency.


3. 

Modular and Scalable Design

When considering investments in large-scale Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, it is crucial to have a forward-thinking strategy that revolves around implementing a Modular Charging Infrastructure. This means choosing a scalable option that can adapt to changing demand dynamics over time. Adopting this approach not only caters to current needs but also sets the foundation for future growth.


This scalability allows for seamless integration of additional charging units as the user base expands, increasing the overall capacity of the charging network.


4. 

Smart Grid Integrations

The development of extensive and advanced Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations requires a focus on Smart Grid Integration. This includes strategically exploring smart grid technologies to improve energy distribution and effectively manage peak demand. Implementing these solutions not only increases the efficiency of the charging network but also contributes to a sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem.


Load management systems balance balancing energy consumption across the network, promoting fairness and reducing strain during periods of high demand.


5. 

Advanced User Authentication and Payment Systems

Advanced User Authentication and Payment Systems are integral to delivering a secure and user-centric experience. User authentication systems to tightly control access ensure that only authorised users can leverage the charging services.



The integration of robust and flexible payment systems, incorporating contactless options and innovative subscription models can also be included. A multifaceted strategy not only enhances security but also caters to the diverse preferences of users, fostering convenience and accessibility within the charging network.


6. 

Network Reliability and Redundancy

Building a robust and reliable Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure on a large scale requires a strong commitment to Network Reliability and Redundancy. This involves maintaining consistently high network reliability, implementing continuous monitoring, and efficiently managing our charging stations.


Recognising the importance of uninterrupted service, we take extra precautions by incorporating redundant systems and fail-safes to minimize potential downtime and quickly address any issues that may arise. This improves the overall reliability of our charging network and provides users with a dependable and resilient EV charging experience.


7. 

Data Analytics & Monitoring

In the world of EV charging infrastructure, it is crucial to incorporate Data Analytics and Monitoring. Using advanced data analytics helps us to better understand usage patterns, user behaviour, and system performance in order to make well-informed decisions and help customers plan for the future.


In addition, we have implemented a remote monitoring system that allows us to proactively identify and address any potential issues. This two-pronged approach optimizes the efficiency and reliability of our charging network and positions us as leaders in technological innovation within the electric mobility ecosystem.


8. 

Energy Storage Integration

In order to create a modern and advanced Electric Vehicle (EV) charging network, the integration of Energy Storage Solutions is an important consideration. By incorporating batteries, we are able to buffer power demands and strengthen the resilience of the charging infrastructure.


This approach not only improves the overall stability of our network, but also positions you to effectively manage fluctuations in energy consumption. Exploring innovative methods for utilising stored energy during peak demand periods ensures a dependable and consistent power supply for the charging network.


9. 

Regulatory Compliance and Permitting

Staying up to date on local and national regulations surrounding infrastructure development, ensures we maintain a thorough understanding of legal requirements. Our goal is to navigate the permitting process smoothly and with maximum efficiency, ultimately facilitating a seamless execution of each project while adhering to all regulatory standards.


Our commitment to compliance not only safeguards the legality of our large-scale EV charging projects but also promotes an open and cooperative relationship with regulatory bodies. Through meticulous attention to regulations and a streamlined permitting process, we strive to set an example for responsibly developing large-scale EV charging infrastructure that aligns with the broader goals of sustainable and accessible electric mobility..


10. 

Community Engagement & Public Relations

Building a successful Electric Vehicle (EV) charging system requires engagement with the local community and maintaining positive public relations. Collaborating with community members, businesses, and stakeholders to gather feedback and address concerns plays a crucial role in the development of a comprehensive system.



Effective public relations strategies are also necessary to educate the public about the multiple benefits and features of our charging system, increasing awareness and understanding.
