Installing a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles on company premises

Electric mobility, a key element in decarbonising your business

Electric cars are part of the solution to successfully decarbonising your company’s vehicle fleet. It is also essential to set up a suitable charging infrastructure within the company so that the logistics of charging can be managed internally. For greater autonomy, the system can be combined with a solar power installation.

Definition of the company’s mobility requirements

Analysis of requirements

• Total number of electric cars (current and future needs)
• Typical parking time and charging autonomy required during this period
• Number of vehicles that need to charge simultaneously (charge management)
• Charging capacity (accelerated charging (< 22kW) and/or ultra-fast charging (DC))
• Technical requirements for charging points (Charging comparison tool)
• Billing system and consumption monitoring
• Concrete examples for planning a charging infrastructure
• Help with needs analysis: simplified planning calculator

Identifying the solution and checking the feasibility of the charging infrastructure project

• If necessary, find an investor for the project
