EV CHARGING OVERVIEW
FAST CHARGING
-
Takes < one hour for a full charge
-
Availability and Compatibility are key issues
-
Should be preferably attended
-
More expensive than slow charging
Ideal at parking locations which are generally manned such as Malls, Hotels, Airports, Organized Parking, Office or Apartment Bldgs with high count of electric cars.
SLOW CHARGING
-
Takes > 8 hours
-
Easy availability and compatibility : Can be charged with the Cable that comes with the car from a standard 15 A plug
-
Dedicated / Long term Parking essential
-
Economical
It can be easily set up in independent homes, difficult in apartment buildings.
HOW DO EV'S GET CHARGED TODAY?
In 8 out of 10 times, EVs get charged at home in slow charging mode. EV owners usually tap a connection from their home electricity meter and run wiring up to their parking lot. This method works elegantly in Bungalows. However in Apartment complexes such set-ups create several challenges such as:
1. The Meter rooms are generally very congested and there is not enough space to run power cables beyond the first or second instance
2. It opens up entry to several persons into a room which otherwise had a restricted authorized access and can be prone to misuse
3. As the number of such connections increases, the cables tend to create a tangled web increasing the risks of short circuits, shocks and fires
4. The sanctioned load of home meters is usually < 3 kW and using them to power the ACs and the EV charging simultaneously during night could lead to tripping and or cable burn outs
5. Every EV owner has to invest in the Cabling separately thus losing the advantage of sharing of infra cost and in a way carries the burden of mishaps arising out of the issues mentioned earlier.
Skybless understands these challenges and has developed a set of solutions and services to address the charging needs of 2/4 wheeler electric vehicles of residents and also that of the 2/3/4 wheeler EV’s of visitors, spanning slow, fast and super-fast charging.
Besides, Skybless also helps Urban Buildings to utilize their vacant terraces, wherever feasible, to generate clean energy from roof top solar and feed it to the building utilities as well as the charging stations, to create an end to end clean energy value chain.
