Challenge

Powering an electric vehicle charging infrastructure in a multifamily building where the electric meters are located in the basement garage (accessible), without overloading the existing electrical infrastructure or having to upgrade it.

Solution

To power a charging infrastructure in this condominium while protecting the existing electrical infrastructure, the installer used RVE’s connected products: HUB and DCC+.

Installation of a HUB energy management system:

• Dynamic control of DCC+ based on charging demand and energy consumption.
• Phase balance adjustment to protect electrical equipment.
• Optimal energy allocation between multiple electric vehicles in a building for more efficient and equitable charging.

Installation of DCC+ and DCC-BOX charge controllers:

• DCC-9+ and DCC-9 for units with an electrical panel of 125A and less in need of a charging station right away
• DCC-9-BOX to provide charging infrastructure without installing chargers right away

Benefits of the RVE Solution:

• Electricity billed at the residential rate, avoiding any additional expenses related to a rate upgrade.
• Installed products requiring no management on the part of the building manager or condo association.
• Responsibility for the equipment transferred directly to the co-owners.
• Compatibility with 100% of charging stations, offering total flexibility for users.
• Multiple savings: minimized energy costs, no costly power demand penalties, no management/connection/transaction fees.
