Kinetic Electrical Whangarei completed a workplace EV charging installation designed to support the client’s growing electric-vehicle fleet.
The project provided 16 dedicated charging bays within an open-air car park, supported by Evnex management software.
Preparing for an electric fleet
Transitioning multiple work vehicles to electric creates different charging requirements from installing a single standalone charger.
Businesses need to consider how many vehicles may charge at once, how long they remain parked, the electrical capacity available and how charging demand will be managed.
The completed installation created a dedicated facility where multiple fleet vehicles could charge within the same workplace car park.
Sixteen dedicated charging bays
The Kinetic Whangarei team completed 16 charging bays across the open-air parking area.
Providing charging infrastructure across multiple bays gave the client a practical foundation for operating and expanding its electric-vehicle fleet.
The installation demonstrates how commercial charging infrastructure can be planned around vehicle numbers, parking patterns and the organisation’s daily operating requirements.
Supporting fleet management
Evnex management software formed part of the completed charging solution.
Charging-management platforms can help organisations monitor and coordinate charging activity across multiple vehicles while making better use of the electrical capacity available at the site.
This becomes increasingly important as the number of chargers and electric vehicles within a fleet grows.
Planning beyond the charger
A successful workplace charging project requires more than selecting the charging hardware.
Electrical supply, switchboard capacity, charger placement, cable management, vehicle dwell time, load management and future expansion should all be considered before installation begins.
Kinetic Electrical members can work with businesses and EV solution providers to develop charging infrastructure around the practical requirements of each property.
