Scalable EV Charging Infrastructure for a Housing Company – Starting with a Few Charging Points
Implementing an EV charging infrastructure in a housing company does not necessarily mean that every parking space needs a charging station from the start. Often, it is wise to begin with a few charging points and ensure that the system can be easily expanded as future needs grow.
In a townhouse complex in Turku, there was a need to install EV charging infrastructure in three carports. The housing company has a total of 19 parking spaces, four of which were equipped with INCH Pro charging stations. Power distribution and charging readiness were implemented using our 63 A busbars, which enable additional charging stations to be installed later without significant additional investments or new electrical installations.
INCH Pro chargers are particularly suitable for housing companies as they work seamlessly together and provide a cost-effective solution. The charger’s touchscreen provides clear instructions for the user, while the Type 2 socket ensures easy and convenient charging.
The charging system also features local load management, which intelligently distributes the available power capacity. Additionally, Latinki Metering Service is used to monitor and report individual charging readings, making billing and system management effortless for residents.
This small housing company implemented a cost-effective and scalable charging solution. The result is a durable and safe charging system that adds value to the property and ensures long-term usability.
Solution Details:
- Charging infrastructure installation: Townhouse carports
- INCH Pro chargers with touchscreen and Type 2 socket
- Local load management
- Charging readiness: Implemented for 19 parking spaces with 63 A busbars
- Latinki Metering Service for tracking charging consumption
