Illustrative case study

Destination EV charging on a commercial site

A South East destination site wants chargers for visitors. The commercial model is not chosen yet. Some sites attract a charge point operator; many do not. The useful work is describing location, access, dwell time and power — not assuming free hardware or rental income.

Describe the site, power and dwell pattern

A destination site that may suit hosted or site-funded charging. Utilisation, access and electrical capacity still need to be established. Hosting is not a promised rent product.

Starting position

The site owner controls parking and wants charging to be available. Electrical capacity and likely session length have not been established.

Requirement

A site assessment that can support either a costing for a self-funded install or a conversation with an operator, without collapsing those into one promise.

Information needed

  • Who controls the land and parking
  • Access, lighting and dwell pattern
  • Incoming electrical capacity as far as it is known
  • Whether the owner wants to operate, host or fund

What this example demonstrates

  • Destination charging is a different project from fleet depot charging
  • Who pays for infrastructure is an open question until the site is understood
  • Hosting is not a guaranteed rental product
