With the rising popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), more companies and property owners are considering installing EV chargers as an amenity to their guests or residents. Installing EV chargers at these properties can attract environmentally conscious tenants and guests, increase property value, and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. However, the installation process can seem daunting to those unfamiliar with electrical work.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to install an EV charger at your property.
Step 1: Evaluate the Need for EV Chargers
Before the installation process begins, an assessment is required to understand the demand for EV chargers at your property. Consider factors such as the number of EV owners among your residents or guests and the availability of public charging stations in the area.
Step 2: Determine the Number of Chargers
Many factors will determine the number of chargers required for your property. Consider factors such as the size of your property, the parking availability, and the anticipated demand for EV charging.
Step 3: Plan the Installation
We work with qualified electricians to plan the installation of the EV chargers. Consider factors such as the location of the chargers, the distance from the electrical panel, and any necessary upgrades to the electrical system. We will also consider the installation of additional infrastructure, such as bollards or signage, to ensure the chargers are easily accessible and safe to use.
Step 4: Install the Chargers
Once the plan has been finalized, it’s time to install the chargers. This may involve running new wiring from the electrical panel to the location of the chargers, installing the chargers themselves, and commissioning them to be on a network. It’s important to work with a qualified electrician to ensure the installation is done safely and meets all relevant codes and regulations.
Step 5: Promote and Maintain the Chargers
Once the chargers are installed, promote their availability to residents or guests. Additionally, ensure the chargers are regularly maintained to keep them in good working condition and address any issues promptly.
Installing EV chargers at your property can provide an additional amenity to your guests or tenants. By following the steps outlined in this guide and working with qualified professionals, we can successfully install EV chargers at your property and contribute to a more sustainable future.
