CASE STUDY | EVSE | EVC & CTEK deliver futureproofed EV charging solution for Galliard Homes
Galliard Homes’ Royal Gateway development in East London's Royal Victoria Dock is made up of five towers with 336 studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
Home to hundreds of residents, Galliard Homes understood the need to offer EV charging for those residing within the complex. Royal Gateway had existing EV charging facilities, but many were outdated and not functionable, so Galliard Homes partnered with EVC to overhaul the EV charging infrastructure and provide residents with a reliable, accessible solution.
Following a free site survey to identify existing power and determine the optimum location for the EV charging bays, EVC recommended the installation of one dual socket, three phase, 22kW CTEK CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 2 (CC2) EV charger. Using EVC's in-house software solution, the CC2 is fully compliant with UK Smart Charging Regulations, and the dual socket CTEK charger serves two parking bays, to meet the current demand of electric vehicles driven by residents.
To ensure Royal Gateway is futureproofed against the vast uptake in electric vehicles, EVC has also installed infrastructure for an additional eight bays, to which charge points can be seamlessly added as demand increases.
EVC decommissioned the outdated charge points in the South car park and retrofitted the North car park with new charge points and tariff management technology, meaning all residents can use the charge points on a communal basis.
The entire installation process only took five days, ensuring minimum disruption to Royal Gateway residents.
Galliard Homes opted for EVC's fully funded solution, making sure they could futureproof their development for years to come at zero cost.
All CTEK’s chargers sold in the UK are fully compliant with UK Smart Charging Regulations. They are also open charge point protocol (OCPP) compliant, meaning that further chargers and load balancing solutions likes CTEK’s NANOGRID can be seamlessly added to the same system, as demand for EV charging inevitably grows.
