How Electric Vehicle Charging Stations are Making the World a Better Place 

The benefits of electric vehicles for reducing local air pollution, especially in cities, are now widely known. On the other hand, their contribution and its limits to the fight against climate change, the ecological transition, to the achievement of the objectives of the Climate Plan deserve to be clarified. with a view to reducing environmental pollution and pressure on natural resources.

Several studies confirm that the environmental advantages of the electric vehicle are intrinsically linked to the implementation of the energy and ecological transition.

In the context of strong growth in the electric vehicle market between now and 2030, reducing the impacts of the manufacturing stage is one of the conditions for the sustainability of the sector. The 4 main levers identified to control and reduce this impact are at the level of mineral matter extraction activities, the efficiency of production methods, the evolution of batteries – efficiency, size, use – and the strengthening of recycling practices.

EV Charging Stations: Role plays in climatic change

The charging of electric vehicles through the means of fossil fuels is not sustainable. Renewable energy production is not sustainable, but electric vehicles can help solve this problem. Smart charging is the key to supporting your power grid. Smart charging connects all charging stations via the cloud system that will help to track all connected charging stations in one place. Smart services can combine these chargers into storage pools and use vehicles as flexible sources in the power grid. Controlling cost processes based on energy production and consumption to balance the grid. More renewable energy can be used without compromising the quality of the power system.

The installation of electric vehicle charging stations across the country will reduce the demand for petrol and increase the rate of EV adoption, reduce CO2 emissions, mitigate climate change, and reduces pollution by improving air quality.

The more number of charging stations, the more electric vehicles on the road

Traditional vehicle owners and fleets seeking all-electric vehicles including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles need easy access to all types of charging stations. For personal vehicle owners, this starts with charging at home and for businesses, this starts with their premises or parking. Charging stations in workplaces and public spaces can help increase market adoption by offering more flexible charging options in high-traffic locations.

Several states are taking initiatives to expand the network of EV charging stations. The Delhi government approved funding to expand charging infrastructure for apartments, housing associations, hospitals, shopping centers, and many more places. The state government is also offering property tax benefits to local associations to build charging stations for electric vehicles.

How to set up an EV charging station

Are you interested in installing charging stations for electric vehicles? Whether your need concerns a condominium, a parking space in a company, or a public car park, several steps are necessary to install charging stations. From the analysis of needs to the subsidy on electric vehicle charging infrastructures, all the installations have common points.

Each type of installation also has its particularities. A project to install a charging station is managed differently if it concerns the car park of a condominium or a reinforced socket at home. Here are some explanations of the different steps to set up an infrastructure of electrical terminals in India.

Electric mobility is important to you? Are you responsible for managing a fleet of electric cars within a company? Are you going to buy an electric vehicle and want to install charging infrastructure in your condominium? Here are the different steps you will go through to install an electric vehicle charging station.

Step 1: Launch the electric vehicle charging station project

That's it, have you decided to buy an electric car? Congratulations! You have just taken the first step towards electric mobility. You will now need to install a charging station to take full advantage of your vehicle.

Step 2: identification of possible charging solutions

The installation of charging points must take into account:

• electric vehicles (scooters, motorcycles, electric cars, etc.);
• the type of car park to be equipped (home pick-up, public car park, etc.);
• of the regulations in force depending on the type of parking.
  

Depending on the case, the charging stations to be installed are of different power. The architecture of the electrical installation must sometimes be reviewed. The installation of a dedicated electrical panel, with a separate meter, is sometimes necessary. This electrical work must be planned from the beginning to be included in the estimate.

Step 3: Request a quote for the installation and electrical connection work

Once the needs are identified, it is possible to request quotes. This phase makes it possible to estimate the cost of operations. Financial aid is available. Individuals who live in Delhi, for example, apply for subsidized EV charging stations.

Step 4: Exchanges with service providers to identify the best charging station solution

Once the quotes have been received, this is an opportunity to discuss with the various interlocutors to obtain details on:

• the stages of building infrastructure ;
• the technical solutions proposed by the service provider;
• the financial aid offered to bring the charging stations into service.
  

Step 5: signing the purchase order

Once all the information has been collected, the choice of company can be made. A purchase order can be signed.

Step 6: launch of operations

The work to build the charging infrastructure was then launched. They require fine coordination between electricity and the installation of terminals.

Step 7: acceptance of the works

The quality of the work is checked after completion. The charging infrastructure must give total satisfaction.

Step 8: commissioning the charging solution

After receipt, the operation of the charging stations is checked. Any malfunction is reported to the company responsible for managing the charging infrastructure.
