EV charging load-management installation — EV charging-point installer
Describe how many vehicles may charge together and which other large electrical loads operate on site. Provide the charger models and available supply information so the installer can establish whether the requirement is sharing between chargers, responding to building demand or both.
Service scope
Configuration and installation of a compatible load-management arrangement that allocates available power between charging equipment and, where designed, other building loads. Fixed sharing and dynamic site-load monitoring are different capabilities and must not be treated as interchangeable features.
What is normally included
- Existing-load and charger assessment
- Compatible control or metering integration
- Demonstration of agreed load-management behaviour
What is not included
- Increasing the physical supply capacity through software alone
- Universal compatibility between charger brands
Typical tasks
- Assess the site's charging-demand pattern
- Identify supported management functions
- Plan compatible metering or communications
- Implement the agreed arrangement
- Verify behaviour under relevant operating conditions
What to include in your brief
- Charger models and quantity
- Supply-capacity information
- Other significant building loads
- Desired simultaneous charging
- Existing meters or control systems
Choosing the right professional
Ask the installer to explain what the proposed system measures and controls. A product labelled load balancing may offer fixed sharing, dynamic monitoring or a particular combination, so verify the exact supported behaviour and how loss of communication is handled.
Important considerations
- Unsupported control combinations may not work as expected
- Power sharing can reduce individual vehicle charging speed
