EV charging stations

EV charging stations for MUH properties can be configured to meet a range of needs, so knowing what to look for before making a purchase is helpful. Considerations around electrical panel needs and how much amperage your charging stations require, which network to use, how to manage users on the network and process payments, whether you need Wi-Fi or cellular-enabled stations, and other details should be taken into account.

Load Management

This feature is great for existing electrical infrastructure, allowing management to control the amount of electricity each EV charging station pulls when multiple chargers are connected and used on the same circuit Load management is convenient, not just because there’s only so much electricity onsite to pull from, but because it allows for picking between first-in, first-charged load sharing or equal distribution load sharing.

OCPP

With Open Charge Point Protocol (OCCP), property managers can pick their provider and manage connections for their tenants and visitors with ease. This freedom is significant, as many EV chargers are non-OCPP, meaning they only work with specific networks that are designed to communicate with that specific charger. OCCP also means having the ability to change providers at any time without having to change or upgrade hardware.
