The EV charging infrastructure deployment journey for fleets is more complex than setting up a traditional fueling infrastructure. The process involves multiple stakeholders, permitting challenges, utility coordination, site assessments, equipment procurement, installation logistics, grid capacity planning, compliance requirements, and operational considerations. However, partnering with Electrada as your Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) provider significantly streamlines the journey by managing complexities, optimizing costs, and ensuring seamless execution.
A well-structured EV charging infrastructure deployment journey follows key milestones, including feasibility studies, regulatory approvals, equipment selection, and maintenance planning, to ensure efficiency, scalability, and avoid unnecessary delays.
The Role of a CaaS Provider in Fleet Electrification
Fleet managers often struggle with the intricate process of setting up charging stations. Electrada as your CaaS provider simplifies the EV charging deployment process by handling everything from equipment selection to utility interconnection. This reduces time-consuming delays and ensures a seamless transition.
Typical Timeline for EV Charging Deployment
Most DC fast charging and Level 2 fleet charging infrastructures take approximately twelve months to design, permit, build, and commission. However, factors such as regulatory requirements, existing electrical infrastructure, and utility interconnection processes can influence the timeline.
Challenges of a DIY Approach
Fleet managers who opt for a self-managed approach often face prolonged timelines. They must navigate local regulations, negotiate pricing, and coordinate construction efforts—tasks that Electrada, as your CaaS provider, efficiently manages.
Key Stakeholders in EV Charging Infrastructure
A successful EV charging deployment journey requires input from fleet operations, facilities management, procurement, executive leadership, finance, legal teams, and real estate managers. Engaging these stakeholders early helps eliminate delays and ensures smooth implementation.
