Retail EV charging

Baltimore Wharf is situated in a highly populated area of London on the Isle of Dogs. A residential complex comprising of over 7,000 units, Baltimore Wharf provides mass housing for families and city workers alike.

Understanding the need to future proof their site, property development company Galliard Homes contacted EVC regarding the opportunity to install EV charge points to allow residents and visitors to have accessible facilities.

After an initial consultation, a site survey was undertaken to understand the location and supply of power for the charge points. Due to the location of the car park, it was decided that a feeder pillar was to be installed to supply the chargers and serve as a new point of connection. The initial install provided 4x EV charging bays with infrastructure in place to allow for a total of 20 bays, with the additional chargers to be seamlessly installed as demand increases to avoid any disruption to residents.

The 40,000 sq ft Red Tree Magenta building was developed in 2019. Situated on the banks of the River Clyde, Red Tree Magenta provides premium office space to a multitude of companies across the city. With high tenancy rates, it was imperative that there was an EV charging solution to match the demand of electric vehicles on site.

Red Tree Magenta previously provided electric vehicle charging on site for its tenants and guests, however the existing infrastructure was un-operational due to lack of maintenance from the supplier. With increasing demand, the client required a replacement charging solution where the operator actively maintained the service for optimum up-time of charge points.

A site survey was conducted by EVC with a view to replace the existing infrastructure with an upgraded charging solution. The charge points continued to run from the existing power supply on site with a view to add further charge points as demand increases throughout the service. EVC’s system provides complete control and flexibility to the client in terms of pricing strategy, reporting systems and monitoring usage.

The installation process was undertaken and completed within 2 days. The entire service was provided as part of EVC’s management solution, enabling a 5-year warranty on the chargers as well as an option to generate additional revenue from charger usage. As part of the service, EVC continue to manage the charging stations to maintain optimum performance for staff to have access to a charge point when required.

The Hampton by Hilton Ashford International is a newly built 140 room hotel in the heart of Kent. Finalising construction in 2021, Hampton by Hilton recognised that the availability of EV charge points would be a prominent concern for guests.

Pre-pandemic in 2019 alone, 220,000+ electric car owners opted for hotels with charging facilities over those without, so it was a high priority to ensure the hotel had the sufficient charging infrastructure to welcome all guests to not miss out on vital business.

Hampton by Hilton commissioned EVC to conduct an initial site survey to identify power supply for the charge points, including the required number of chargers to match current and future demand. As charging would be taking place overnight, five dual 22kWh chargers were installed to service 10 EV charging bays, ensuring that all guests had access to a charge point upon arrival to the hotel.
