Should each tenant have their own charger, or is everyone sharing a solution? Here are the pros and cons.
When properties are going to invest in electric car charging, the choice is between individual charging boxes or common solutions. Both options have their pros and cons, and the choice depends on the technical conditions of the property and the needs of the residents.
Each parking space gets its own charger.
Advantages: Gives the user greater control over access to the charging point.
Disadvantages: Higher installation cost and higher head hedging requirements, which can lead to costly subscription upgrades. Different vendors may require more integration solutions for operation and billing.
Multiple users share in a number of charging locations, and the power output is optimized via load balancing.
ChargeNode's system uses departure time-based prioritization, allowing more cars to be charged during the times they need to without overloading the property's grid.
Advantages: Lower investment cost per user and easier operation. Dynamic load balancing improves how existing power capacity is utilized and reduces the need for grid upgrades.
ChargeNode's portal facilitates clear rules on pricing and priorities. Users see in real time which seats are available and receive push notifications when charging is complete - then they can move their vehicles themselves. For the property owner, this means increased overview and fewer administrative disputes.
Contact ChargeNode for a pilot installation or demonstration, and see how your property can be customized for both individual and shared charging solutions.
