Fleet EV charging infrastructure support
Reliable fleet EV operations need smart, safe, and scalable charging infrastructure.
Our experience in EV charging infrastructure for depots and operating centres spans every step from site assessments through to detailed electrical design, helping businesses with efficient, compliant, and future-proofed solutions.
Charging infrastructure planning challenges
Unnecessary charging infrastructure investment. Accurate sizing, utilisation planning, and electrical design will avoid overinvestment in chargers, power equipment, and civils.
Inefficient space use. Optimised layouts will avoid wasting valuable real estate or creating bottlenecks for vehicle movements, staff, and maintenance operations.
Fire safety. Understanding EV fire risks and emergency response measures enable good layout design, mitigating safety hazards and avoiding compliance issues.
Site assessment
Our experience covers:
Power infrastructure assessment, including network connection capacity, load demand analysis, and power equipment requirements, including transformers, switchgear, cabling, etc.
Fire safety planning, including charging bay positioning, refuge areas, fire containment barriers, emergency ways, emergency procedures, water management, etc.
Civils and layout designs with spacing for vehicle movements, power equipment positioning, shelters or overhead structures, cable routing, and maintenance access.
Charging infrastructure planning and modelling
Energy modelling
Our electrical energy modelling covers the energy flows and consumption patterns of charging infrastructure, including all power equipment, using the measured fleet operations data. This can be used to evaluate various charging infrastructure configurations to find optimum sizing according to utilisation and depreciation.
Local distributed energy resources, such as solar or wind generation or stationary battery energy storage, can be incorporated in the modelling, to understand network interactions, intelligent charging management opportunities, and potential return on investment. Read more here.
Power modelling
Our electrical power modelling covers the performance and characteristics of all power equipment onsite to evaluate power quality, network connection compliance, equipment efficiency, expansion potential, and identify reliability concerns.
Site safety
Our site safety evaluation covers all hazards, including electrical power equipment and fire risks arising from charging large EV batteries, such as in electric commercial vehicles. This includes safe site design guidance to prevent and mitigate EV battery fire hazards. Read more here.
