The installation of EV equipment in Greenwich needed to take into account
Capacity of electrical boards and the proximity to the individual carparks
The speed required in EV charging which is determined by the amperage and the electrical reticulation infrastructure
The Type of EV charger – standard v smart and L1, L2 or L3
Peak load of the existing main switchboard and the extent of any upgrade required
Grid connection and availability of additional supply.
It also became clear during the due diligence process that the expectations around service levels for charging (ie 16 amp single phase charging) needed to be established and this would be followed by the installation of electric vehicle charging solution taking into account the investment appetite of building owners.
Greenwich has passed through the first phase with some basic charging infrastructure but the potential demand and take-up requires a more coherent long term solution.
