Advances in Public and Apartment EV Charging

-

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to increase, so will the demand for convenient charging solutions. An EV charging apartment can benefit both an EV owner and a building owner. While the former will get a dedicated charging station for their vehicle, the latter will enhance the value of their property. Common Problems for EV-Owning Apartment Dwellers As it stands now, the biggest hindrance to more people using EVs is their inability to charge the vehicles conveniently. For homeowners, installing a charging station involves getting permits from the city and hiring a knowledgeable electrician.   By contrast, apartment and condo residents often cannot do anything without the approval of their landlord or Home Owners Association. Many times, they will not agree to installing apartment EV charging stations simply because they do not understand all of the details. For example, landlords and HOAs may wonder how they can bill residents correctly

Why Should Condos and Apartments Install EV Charger Stations?

Electric cars might seem like pipedreams to some people, but they are becoming increasingly popular. And as they do, the demand for accessible EV charger stations will go up as well. The Future of Electric Vehicles Studies project that by 2020, there will be between 9-20 million electric vehicles (EVs) deployed worldwide. In June 2017, the International Energy Agency reported that a group of 30 American cities—including Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Portland, OR—plans to buy more than 110,000 EVs. When one considers that 160,000 EVs were purchased in the US the previous year, it becomes clear that people will begin seeing more and more EVs on the road very soon. One more study should indicate how popular electric vehicles are becoming. A 2016 report by the Bloomberg New Energy Finance research firm states that EVs will account for 25 percent of global automobile sales by 2040. By installing condo and apartment EV charging stations, property owners

EV Charging Stations: Good for Car Owners, Good for Property Owners

The rise of the EV charging apartment has helped both electric vehicle (EV) owners and property owners. By having charging stations at parking spaces or in parking garages, people do not need to waste time searching for a place to recharge their cars. Instead, they will have one right where they live. This can lead to greater peace of mind for EV owners, increased revenue for management companies and a cleaner environment for everyone. The benefits of EV ownership include: • Reduced Carbon Footprint: By their very nature, EVs are extremely eco-friendly. Since they do not need to burn fossil fuels to move, they do not release potentially harmful gases into the atmosphere. Therefore, EVs allow owners to reduce their carbon footprint significantly. • Reduced Maintenance and Repairs: EVs typically require less maintenance and repairs than cars which use fossil fuels do. EVs have fewer fluids which need changing and fewer parts which need replacing. • Outstanding Savings: Bec

Advantages of Installing EV Charging Stations at Apartments and Condos

Owning and using an electric vehicle (EV) is difficult—if not impossible—without reliable access to an EV charger. They have started showing up more at various public facilities and commercial spaces, but EV owners still have a tough time keeping their cars charged. After all, it can be a pain in the neck to go somewhere just to charge your car. Most EV owners prefer the convenience of living in an EV charging apartment —that is, an apartment complex equipped with an in-house charging station. Charging-friendly apartments help make EVs more popular too—frequently, people do not buy electric cars simply because it is too difficult to find a convenient charging station. EV charging apartments ensure that people have at least one place to power their vehicle. EV ownership has several benefits. The vehicles are extremely eco-friendly, don’t require much maintenance and cost far less than those gas-guzzling behemoths which clog our streets. As concerns over the availability of fossil fu

Condominiums and Apartment Complexes Need to Install EVSE

-

The popularity of EVs (electric vehicles) has been skyrocketing for the past decade. Whatever the reason—political statement, tax credit, access to HOV lanes or any other—EVs represent the future of personal vehicle production. Because each EV requires a power source, installations of specially-designed charging stations have been at a feverish pace at malls, restaurants, hotels and other busy locations.  Progressive communities across the US are proud of their ecologically-balanced, environmentally-friendly lifestyles. Residents in these areas often choose EVs over traditional vehicles—which contribute to our country’s dependence on fossil fuels from foreign countries—but owners find it incredibly inconvenient to be without charging capabilities where they live and work. Because of this, apartment projects, condominiums and corporate campuses which were once considered impractical or unsuitable locations for EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) installation now prominent
