Electric vehicle charging
AC and DC charging for company car parks, industrial sites and vehicle fleets, from supply connection planning to power management and maintenance.
Operating context
The whole application matters.
Charging infrastructure is designed around vehicle numbers, parking time and the energy required before departure. The scope covers charger selection, power and communications infrastructure, metering and commissioning. AC charging suits longer parking periods; DC equipment addresses faster energy replenishment. Actual power also depends on the vehicle, battery condition and available supply. The design accommodates staged expansion and everyday operation.
Scope of the solution
- AC and DC charger selection based on vehicles, parking periods, connectors and required functions.
- Assessment of the supply connection, switchboards, circuit protection, earthing, metering and cable routes.
- Dynamic demand management, power allocation between charge points and links to PV and BESS.
- User authorization, session records and charging management integration through supported interfaces such as OCPP.
- Installation, configuration, functional testing, commissioning and maintenance within the agreed scope.
Engineering priorities
From operating need to design.
01Site power capacity
Connector numbers alone do not determine the required grid connection capacity. Charging demand is assessed alongside production and other site loads. Dynamic management allocates available power according to measurements and priorities, with defined behaviour when data or communications are lost.
02Fleet operating patterns
Arrival and departure times, energy needs and vehicle types determine the mix of AC and DC points. The design covers charging priorities, user access and occupancy information. Connector positions, cable reach and safe movement around the parking area are also checked.
03Charging within the energy system
Chargers can be coordinated with photovoltaics and battery storage through an energy management system (EMS). The project defines priorities for local consumption, import limits and vehicle charging. Commands respect the operating limits of inverters, batteries and electrical infrastructure.

Before we start
Questions that shape the project.
Can the project start with a few chargers and expand later?+
Yes. The initial design should reserve switchboard capacity, cable routes and control capacity. Expansion is checked against available power and actual charger use.
Can visitors and paid charging be accommodated?+
Visitor access and interfaces to a selected billing system can be designed on request. The operating model, payment services, metering and operator responsibilities are defined separately in the project.
