Installation of Electric Vehicle Charge Points in Staff Car Park

Background:

A company with a large staff car park has decided to install six electric vehicle charge points to encourage employees to switch to electric vehicles and reduce the company's carbon footprint. The car park has a 3 phase electrical system.

Objectives:

• Install six electric vehicle charge points in the staff car park.
• Ensure that the charge points are compatible with the existing 3 phase electrical system.
• Ensure that the charge points are safe and compliant with all relevant regulations.
• Limit access to authorized users only via RIFD key fobs.
• Allow administrative staff to monitor usage of users and charge points.

Methodology:

1. Conduct a survey of the staff car park to identify the best locations for the charge points.
2. Conduct a site visit to assess the existing electrical infrastructure and determine whether it is suitable for the installation of EV charge points.
3. Evaluate if the existing 3 phase electrical system can support the additional load of the EV charge points.
4. Select a suitable EV charge point model that is compatible with the existing electrical system and meets all safety and compliance requirements.
5. Coordinate with the site manager to schedule the installation of the EV charge points.
6. Provide training to staff on how to use the EV charge points safely and efficiently.

Results:

• Six EV charge points were successfully installed in the staff car park.
• The EV charge points are compatible with the existing 3 phase electrical system and are able to provide a safe and efficient charging experience for employees.
• The company is promoting and encouraging the number of employees driving electric vehicles, and a corresponding reduction in carbon emissions.

Conclusion:

The installation of EV charge points in the staff car park has been a successful initiative for the company, helping to reduce carbon emissions and encourage the adoption of electric vehicles among employees. The project was completed on time and within budget, and the EV charge points are operating safely and efficiently.
