The transformation to electric transportability is a promising global strategy for the removal of #carbonfootprint in the transport sector. Adoption of the eco-friendly way of living is trending in India and the government is also contributing to the strengthening of such initiatives. However, the storage limitations in batteries and lack of electricity grids meant that #electricvehicles did not get much attention and popularity initially.
But the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter by the day. India is also among the countries supporting the global campaign of EV30@30 which aims at achieving 30% electric vehicle sales by the year 2030. The streamlined focus on reduction of transportation impact on the weather patterns, air, and sound pollution, meant that the #EV concept was recognized as one of the 100 best modern solutions for addressing #climatechange.
The technological advancements brought forth by #EVs have placed them as the resurgence beacon of clean energy commute. By 2021, EVs have already been mainstreamed and are expected to be the future of modern transport. Major #Automobile companies are taking ambitious steps about phasing out internal combustion engine motor vehicles and moving along with greener vehicle options. And understandably so, Electric vehicle acquisition at such an increased level has also shot up the demand for the availability of charging stations
Therefore, revolutionizing transport as we know it, requires an accessible and vigorous infrastructure network for #charging electric vehicles. These #chargingstations are on every commercial property owner and manager’s radar. This is majorly because the property owner or the residents of the property compartment might be planning to buy an EV sooner than later. The #IndianGovernment has also instituted numerous enabling policies to support the development of infrastructure for the charging station of EVs.
Overview of EV Charging
Depending on the availability of EV models in the market, features of the electricity grid, characteristics and Specifications for #EVchargers (also known as electric vehicle supply equipment) would be different from one country to another. Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) is the basic pre-requisite for #EVcharginginfrastructure and depending on location and requirement, EVs can be charged in a variety of ways.
The mainstream charging technology in use is Conductive charging, or plug-in (wired) charging. For conductive charging, the Requirements of #EVSE depend on factors such as power ratings, charging methods, vehicle type and battery capacity. The EVSE consumes the power from the local electricity supply and utilizes a wired connection and a control system to safely charge EVs.
Data privacy and security, authorization for charging, information recording, user authentication, and exchange for network management are some of the diverse functions controlled by an EVSE control system. It is recommended for all charging purposes to use EVSE with at least basic control and management functions.
Value Addition to the Property by EV Charging Infrastructure
For the assurance of the efficient and timely implementation of EV charging infrastructure, a contextual approach is required. Not only should it meet local requirements in transportation networks, but also be optimally integrated within the electricity supply. However, there is a need to customize the characteristics of this infrastructure to the unique eco-system of Indian transport, that can build capacity among service providers to support its ground enlargement
Needless to say, Indians drive a lot and mostly commute within the city for daily needs or errands. During this period, vehicles usually stand idol in parking lots or roadside stations. Property owners and commercial building managers should think of adding EV chargers to their establishments. It goes without saying that the players who bag the early bird advantage in the market can amass several benefits
Empowering the EV industry via this future-ready idea can help property managers take a step ahead of the competition. Setting up an EV charging station at a multi-resident apartment property elaborates the message to the residents that their property manager is prioritizing cutting-edge amenities and environment friendliness.
End Note
Not only are #EVChargingStations an investment in the future of transportation, but office or business owners can also leverage tax credits from the installation of EV chargers on their property. Moreover, Indian businesses that offer commercial EV charging facilities are liable to draw and retain customers and employees that are aware.
Offering EV charging at organization premises will set the business apart and will indicate that the employer or property owner is aligned to niche requirements and also supports green sustainable solutions. Installation of EV charging stations will enhance property value in the real estate market and assist the business in to contributing a more robust environment.
