Strata EV Charging

Strata EV Charging Solutions by Energy Warriors: Powering the Future of Sustainable Living Introduction As electric vehicles (EVs) gain popularity, the need for convenient and effective charging infrastructure in strata-managed buildings is growing. Energy Warriors, partnering with ReadySteadyPlug, presents an innovative solution designed especially for Strata EV Charging: the Level 1 Smart EV Charging system. Understanding Level 1 Charging Level 1 charging uses a regular 10A or 15A electrical outlet, providing around 15 kilometers of driving range for every hour of charging. Considering that the average city vehicle in Australia covers roughly 35 kilometers each day, a 10-hour overnight charge can deliver a range of up to 150 kilometers, adequately satisfying regular daily driving requirements. This approach is adequate for the majority of users and additionally enhances battery lifespan by preventing the rapid degradation linked to elevated charging speeds. Introducing Ready Steady Plug: A Smart Solution for Strata Buildings ReadySteadyPlug is an innovative EV charging system designed in Australia to address the unique challenges of strata buildings. It combines the simplicity of Level 1 charging with advanced features commonly found in more expensive Level 2 systems, offering a cost-effective & scalable solution for multi-residential complexes. Key Features of Ready Steady Plug Modular Design The Electric Vehicle Charging Distribution Board (EV-DB) can be installed in the main switchboard or distributed along parking bays, supporting configurations for 6 to 24 General Power Outlets (GPOs). This flexibility allows for a modular and scalable approach, growing with the building’s needs and keeping upfront costs down. Individual Metering and Billing Each GPO is individually metered, with billing managed via a cloud-based system. This setup supports both credit/debit card payments and post-pay options through strata management, ensuring that energy costs are accurately allocated to users. Load Balancing, Monitoring, and Scheduling The system includes energy monitoring of the building supply and the EV charging circuits, connected through secure online communications. This ensures efficient energy usage and prevents overloads, mitigating the need for expensive electrical infrastructure upgrades and reducing maximum demand charges from energy retailers. Advantages of Level 1 Charging in Strata Settings Implementing Level 1 charging in strata buildings offers several benefits: Cost-Effectiveness Level 1 systems require lower power supply, often eliminating the need for significant electrical infrastructure upgrades. This makes it a financially viable option for strata communities, as the investment required starts at around $5,000 to purchase and wire up a 6-user EV-DB. Ease of Installation Utilizing existing electrical infrastructure simplifies the installation process, reducing disruptions and associated costs. Owners who have an EV or want tenants with an EV can afford to pay for an RPG EV-DB to be installed themselves, without imposing on the Owners Corporation. Scalability The modular nature of ReadySteadyPlug allows the system to expand in line with the growing adoption of EVs within the community. This staged rollout approach ensures that the infrastructure evolves with demand, maintaining efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Implementing EV Charging in Your Strata Community Energy Warrior offers comprehensive services to facilitate the adoption of EV charging solutions in strata buildings: Site Assessment A qualified electrical engineer conducts a thorough evaluation of the building's energy distribution, demand analysis, & system specifications. This assessment provides a clear understanding of the existing infrastructure and the requirements for implementing the EV charging system. Installation Following the assessment, Energy Warrior coordinates the installation of the EV-DB and associated components, ensuring compliance with all relevant standards and regulations. The process includes setting up load management and billing software, tested and implemented by experienced professionals. Ongoing Support Post-installation, Energy Warrior provides continuous support, including monitoring energy usage, managing billing systems, and offering maintenance services to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the EV charging infrastructure. Conclusion The transition to electric vehicles is an inevitable progression towards sustainable living. For strata communities, adopting efficient and cost-effective charging solutions like ReadySteadyPlug not only meets the immediate needs of residents but also future-proofs the building for the increasing prevalence of EVs. Energy Warrior's expertise & tailored solutions make this transition seamless, empowering Strata EV Charging communities to embrace the electric revolution with confidence.
