Your pathway to EV-READINESS

Not necessarily. An assessment may identify existing capacity that can be used for EV charging, particularly when charging demand can be managed around other building loads. Planit Charge looks at these options before recommending major upgrades, helping building owners understand what is actually required before committing to significant expenditure.

The appropriate method depends on the building and electrical arrangement. Options can include individual metering, connection behind an existing dwelling meter where practical, or a charging management platform that records individual charging sessions. Planit Charge can assess the property and recommend an appropriate approach for identifying, monitoring and billing individual users.

EV readiness depends on more than whether there is space to install a charger. The building’s electrical capacity, historical peak demand, switchboards, distribution infrastructure, carpark layout, metering and communications should all be considered, together with current and expected future charging demand.

There is no single figure that applies to every building. The required capacity depends on factors including the number of chargers, charger ratings, expected charging patterns, existing building demand and how charging is managed. Planit Charge assesses these factors to determine what the existing infrastructure can support and where additional infrastructure may be required.

A building-wide approach should consider electrical capacity, parking arrangements, current and future demand, shared infrastructure, approvals, load management, metering, billing and ongoing management. Planit Charge brings these elements together into a clear roadmap that can help inform future infrastructure planning, budgets and approvals.

An EV readiness assessment examines a building’s existing infrastructure and identifies what may be required to accommodate EV charging. Planit Charge assesses electrical capacity, switchboards, distribution, load management, metering, communications, billing requirements and carpark layout to develop a practical roadmap for the property.
