Feasibility Assessment of Building EV Infrastructure
Every building has unique needs and infrastructure, which means the number and capacity of EV chargers that can be installed will vary. Conducting an EV feasibility assessment for the building or site is essential to identify the best potential EV charging solutions. This feasibility assessment is a comprehensive analysis that evaluates the practicality and potential success of installing EV charging infrastructure at a specific location or within a particular area.
What does the feasibility assessment include?
Site inspection: A thorough inspection of the site to determine the most suitable location for the EV chargers.
Review of the recent electricity bill for the common area
Review of Single line diagrams of the building’s current electrical setup if accessible
Use of data logger to monitor the building’s electricity usage patterns If there is no historical data available for the building’s electricity consumption. This involves monitoring the building’s electricity consumption over a certain period (usually two weeks) by installing monitoring equipment.
What Information is Essential for Creating a Comprehensive EV Feasibility Assessment Report?
A recent electricity bill for the common area
Strata plans, site plans, and architectural drawings
Single line diagrams of the building’s current electrical setup if accessible
On-site inspection to evaluate the existing electrical infrastructure, main power supply, switchboard and distribution board locations in relation to potential charger sites
Use of a data logger to monitor the building’s electricity usage patterns, precisely determining available capacity for EV charging infrastructure.
What information will we provide in our EV feasibility assessment report?
Building and electrical infrastructure assessment: Assessment of the building’s electrical infrastructure to determine if it can support the installation of EV chargers.
Load management & billing recommendations: Recommendations for the best way to manage the load on the electrical system and how to bill users for the electricity they consume.
Budget pricing: A cost estimate will be provided for the installation of proposed EV chargers, including the cost of the chargers, the electrical infrastructure upgrades, and the installation costs.
EV charger equipment recommendation: Recommendations for the type and number EV chargers that can be installed and are best suited for the site, including the charging speed and the number of charging ports.
