Question

What Is Load Sharing?

Load sharing is a vital concept in EV charger installations, particularly for commercial properties. This system enables multiple EV chargers to efficiently share a single electrical circuit, significantly increasing the number of vehicles that can be charged simultaneously. As such, load sharing contributes to a more sustainable and cost-effective charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

Increased Capacity

Importance Of Load Sharing

Load sharing plays a crucial role in the deployment of EV chargers, particularly for properties with multiple charging points. It not only facilitates efficient power distribution, but also helps in optimizing the utilization of available electrical capacity. Load sharing can significantly reduce the installation and running costs of EV chargers, making it an essential feature in the era of electric mobility.

Increased Charging Capacity

By implementing load sharing, multiple EV chargers can function off a single electrical circuit, essentially multiplying the charging capacity of your property. This opens up the possibility of more electric vehicles being charged concurrently, hence accommodating more tenants or visitors with electric vehicles, thereby enhancing the attractiveness and utility of your premises.

Cost-Efficient Operations

Load sharing technology significantly reduces installation and operating expenses. Rather than overhauling your entire electrical infrastructure, the intelligent power distribution of load sharing allows you to leverage your existing setup. This prevents undue strain on your electrical system, ensuring its longevity, and also curbs energy consumption, resulting in lower monthly utility bills.

Improved Tenant Satisfaction

The ability to charge multiple EVs at once translates into greater tenant satisfaction. With more charging points available, the likelihood of tenants finding an open point when needed rises dramatically. This efficient charging solution, ensuring availability when needed, can significantly elevate tenant experience and satisfaction levels.

Environmentally Friendly

Implementing load sharing has a positive impact on the environment. By making EV charging more accessible and efficient, you’re encouraging the use of electric vehicles, a key factor in reducing carbon emissions. This aligns your business with global sustainability goals and bolsters your reputation as an environmentally conscious entity.
