Quick Charge Episode 3 explores the key considerations for evaluating electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The episode provides fleet owners and operators with essential insights into the importance of early planning, including assessment requirements, timelines, resources, and goals to ensure a successful outcome. Given the intricate nature of fleet electrification and the involvement of multiple stakeholders, starting early is crucial.
Electrada’s experience working with fleets has identified several critical considerations for planning EV charging infrastructure:
- Site Assessment: Assessing the physical and electrical parameters of potential charging locations.
- Energy Management: Evaluating energy demand and supply, including peak usage times.
- Cost Analysis: Understanding both initial and ongoing costs.
- Funding and Incentives: Identifying local, state, and federal financial incentives to offset costs.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to local, state, and federal regulations.
- Technology Selection: Choosing the appropriate charging technology.
- Scalability: Planning for future expansion.
- Interoperability: Ensuring technology compatibility with various EV models.
- Maintenance and Support: Establishing maintenance and support protocols.
