also essential for maintaining service dependability and customer happiness. The operation of these stations can be considerably improved by putting in place remote monitoring and control systems. These solutions minimise downtime and increase overall efficiency by providing remote service restoration and problem diagnosis. An incredibly helpful feature given the new law, The Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, which mandates that networks with fast charging stations maintain an average of 99 per cent availability annually. By addressing these challenges with thoughtful
design and advanced technology, EV charging stations can be made reliable, safe and efficient. All of which will contribute to less range-anxiety and stress for EV users, as well as helping to encourage more drivers to make the switch.
An EV-powered future As EV charger technology evolves, the supporting low-voltage assemblies must be flexible and upgradeable. The anticipated life of an electrical installation, and that of an EV charger are very different, making it vital that any low-voltage assemblies forming part of the installation are adaptable enough to match the needs of new chargers as and when they are installed. Whether it increases in the number and rating
of circuits, a shift from manual to automated operation or further adoption of remote monitoring and control, low-voltage assemblies need to be able to adapt. As such, they should include
adaptable circuit breaker configurations, upgradeable trip units and provisions for remote monitoring and control. Selecting a design that accommodates these future needs can reduce downtime and costs over the installation’s life. For the safe and effective delivery of electricity to EV chargers, outdoor low-voltage assemblies are
essential. A well-designed and validated assembly has many benefits, including less installation area needed, faster installation times and lower costs. These assemblies are the key to meeting the unique demands of EV charging applications and helping the world move towards becoming carbon neutral and greener.
