DEPENDING ON THE OWNER'S PREFERENCES AND INFRASTRUCTURE AVAILABILITY, THREE MAIN TYPES OF CHARGING OCCUR: BASE, ROUTE, AND DESTINATION

BASE CHARGING

To switch to an EV, drivers often need a reliable and affordable charging solution at their primary parking spots, such as home or workplace

DESTINATION CHARGING

Drivers also top up their charge at destinations while engaging in activities away from home, such as shopping centers, restaurants, and gyms<./strong>

ROUTE CHARGING

For longer trips and to ease range
concerns, drivers can depend on
strategically placed route charging options
along highways and major routes

BASE CHARGING ACCOUNTS FOR 90% OF CHARGING SINCE EV OWNERS PREFER CHARGING AT HOME OR/AND WORK WHERE THE CAR IS PARKED MOST OF THE TIME

ROUTE CHARGING

  • Least utilized, at only 3%
  • Specifically useful for long trips; it’s less needed due to the rarity of such journeys compared to regular commuting
  • Usually faster and more expensive (DC charging)

DESTINATION CHARGING

  • Constitutes 7% of charging
  • Depends on personal schedules and the need for charging while engaging in activities

BASE CHARGING

  • Predominant method, accounting for 90% of charging
  • Offers the highest convenience and lowest cost for daily use
  • Aligns with daily commuting patterns and does not require high electrical capacity (AC Charging)

UNFORTUNATELY, IMPLEMENTING EV CHARGING IN APARTMENT AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IS A COMPLEX ENDEAVOR, MAKING BASE CHARGING INACCESSIBLE

LIMITED EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE

  • Most buildings lack modern EV-ready infrastructure, requiring significant electrical upgrades
  • Modernizing electrical panels and increasing supply capacity are common necessities

COMPLEX COST ALLOCATION

  • Financial complexities arise in dividing expenses for installation, energy use, and maintenance
  • Implementing systems that track and bill individual usage remains a challenge

OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES

  • Ensuring reliability requires proactive maintenance, servicing, and efficient peak demand management
  • Establishing a user-friendly and transparent system is crucial for user satisfaction

KEY CHALLENGES

FUTURE-READINESS AND SCALABILITY CONCERNS

  • Difficult to predict long-term residents adoption
  • Essential to create adaptable infrastructure that can grow with demand and technological progress

STAKEHOLDER’S CONSENSUS

  • Property managers, HOAs, and residents often have conflicting interests, complicating consensus
  • Convincing stakeholders of the benefits, especially non-EV owners, is frequently challenging

REGULATORY AND PERMIT HURDLES

  • Installations must adhere to diverse local regulations, complicating the process.
  • The multi-stakeholder permitting process can be lengthy and cause project delays.
