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 the vehicle fleet. The traditional way of supplying thermal cars using subsidy stations is only partly applicable to this type of vehicle. 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 solar power production.

How to get started with a project to set up a charging infrastructure in your company

In order to answer the key questions before starting the project and to guide you through the various planning stages, a qualified professional (approved electrician) or supplier specialising in charging installations will be able to help you. For large-scale, complex installations, it is advisable to seek advice from an consulting engineering office or a developer of charging infrastructure projects. In all cases, your industry representative (chamber, federation, etc.) can provide guidance.

Key points to consider before analysing your company’s energy situation

• What distance does a vehicle cover in a typical day?
• What is the minimum range the vehicles must have after charging?
• How many electric vehicles should be charged?
• What is the typical parking time of vehicles?
• How many vehicles should charge at the same time?
• Is there an option for customers or outsiders to charge their vehicles?
