Project Background
A housing company in Tampere wanted to provide residents with a high quality and long-lasting charging solution for its outdoor parking area, where the number of electric vehicles is steadily increasing. The solution needed to be easy to manage, feature a stylish design, and be scalable to meet future demands. Additionally, the billing process for charging sessions had to be seamless, minimizing administrative work.
Stylish Charging Points and Easy Billing
The housing company chose durable and stylish INCH Pro chargers with Type 2 sockets. The chargers were mounted on robust stainless-steel poles, ensuring longevity even in Finland’s challenging weather conditions. The graphite gray aluminum casing of the chargers provides a modern look combined with long-term durability.
InterControl delivered the charging stations with pre-configured settings, making integration into an external operator’s service seamless. eParking.fi was selected as the charging system operator, handling the residents’ charging billing automatically. Users can authenticate and start charging easily through the operator’s app, eliminating the need for separate RFID tags—making the charging process even more convenient.
The system operates via a wireless connection and is fully scalable, allowing for an increase in charging points as demand grows.
Summary
The housing company now has an easy-to-use, durable, and modern charging system that serves both current and future EV owners. The INCH Pro chargers ensure a high-quality user experience, while eParking.fi takes care of user-specific billing.
With its wireless and scalable design, the solution allows flexible expansion, and the sleek INCH Pro charging stations blend seamlessly into the residential parking area. This project demonstrates how housing companies can proactively address the rising demand for EV charging and implement a future-proof charging infrastructure.
