The move to electric vehicles is accelerating, and the car park is where most charging will happen. Buildings that plan for it now, even if they install only a few chargers today, avoid the far higher cost of tearing up a finished car park later.
Plan the infrastructure first
The expensive, disruptive part is not the chargers; it is the power capacity, cabling and distribution to reach the bays. Providing that groundwork for far more bays than are initially fitted means future chargers are a simple addition, not a rebuild.
What to consider
- Spare electrical capacity and how to grow it
- Cable routes and distribution to bays across all levels
- Load management so charging does not overwhelm supply
- Payment and access integration with the parking system
- A mix of charging speeds for different dwell times
Smart charging matters
Uncontrolled charging can overload a building's supply. Smart load management shares available power across chargers and can prioritise, charge off-peak or balance against the building's other demands, which an integrated approach handles naturally.
Part of the parking experience
When charging is integrated with access, payment and guidance, drivers find a charger, use it and pay as part of one smooth experience, rather than juggling separate apps and systems.
