EV CHARGING
“more than 60% of the global EV charging will take
place at commercial or multifamily buildings”
the buildings and contributes to grid balancing by adjusting charging levels. Sustainability and convenience By 2030, the EV market will require more than 55 million chargers in buildings, according to American consulting firm McKinsey. Why is smart charging in buildings and homes so important for the EV revolution? In addition to the sustainability benefits, it comes down to convenience. EV charging is not nearly as quick as filling up with petrol at the pump. Because EVs take longer to charge, EV drivers want to be able to charge at convenient places where they will already be parked for extended periods – such as workplaces and homes. In fact, it’s predicted that more than 60% of the global EV charging will take place at commercial or multifamily buildings by 2030, according to Bloomberg, so the smart charging infrastructure must be in place to support them. Smart EV charging also benefits the building owners and facility managers as it can accommodate the increased
energy demand while also using renewable energy when available, taking the stress off the buildings’ electrical systems. It’s clear that EVs are part of the new mobility, so a smart charging infrastructure future-proofs buildings for the regulations that are already in place or forthcoming in the years to come.
install, easy to operate and maintain, as well as great for minimising costs and downtime. 2.
