How to charge the vehicle? • Financial case is only part of the equation • Where will the vehicle be charged? • When can the vehicle be charged? • Types of hardware • Costs
How long does it take to charge a vehicle? A common perception? It depends! • “It takes too long to charge an electric vehicle” • Based on a 24kWh battery
Vehicle inlet sockets • Type 1 Connection – 5 Pin • Favoured by US and Japanese manufacturers • Type 2 Connection – 7 Pin • European standard
Charging modes and sockets • Mode 1 BEAMA “Guide to Electric Vehicle Infrastructure”
Charging modes and sockets • Mode 2 – Slow / Standard Charging BEAMA “Guide to Electric Vehicle Infrastructure”
Mode 2 - Plugs, sockets and cables • Power Outlet • Cable • EV Inlet Type 1 Type 2
Charging modes and sockets • Mode 3 – Slow / Fast Charging BEAMA “Guide to Electric Vehicle Infrastructure”
Mode 3 – Plugs, sockets and cables • Domestic charging unit • Power outlet & tethered cable • EV Inlet Type 1 Type 2
Mode 3 – Plugs, sockets and cables • Power Outlet – Commercial / Public • Cable • EV Inlet Type 1 Type 2
Charging modes and sockets • Mode 4 – Rapid Charging BEAMA “Guide to Electric Vehicle Infrastructure”
Mode 4 – Plugs, sockets and cables • Power Outlet – DC Rapid Charger • Cable – CHAdeMO Charging System • EV Inlet Type 1 socket Rapid charge socket
Mode 4 – Plugs, sockets and cables • Or it could be the Combined charging system: • Cable • EV Inlet Type 2 socket Rapid charge socket
In summary • You only need maximum of two cables • One with a 3 pin plug: • To connect to a standard wall socket and some old public charge points • One with a Type 2 connector: • To connect to work or newer public charge points • The vehicle will come with one of these as standard • You need to buy the other!
Types of hardware Hardwired wall box Dual socket wall box Single socket wall box Dual socket floor post DC Rapid Charger
Single socket wall box + points • Smaller organisations with a low number of plug-in vehicles • Organisations with a variety of plug-in vehicles with different charging inlets types • Inexpensive
Hardwired wall box + points • Organisations with a dedicated plug-in vehicle on site • Home charging • Safe
Dual socket charge points + points: • Organisations needing simultaneous charging, up 32A per outlet • RFID Tag/key provides security and allows controlled usage • Publicly visible sign of EVs: chance to raise awareness
DC Rapid Charger + points: • Quick: from 5 and 30 minutes (0-80%) • RFID Tag/key provides added security and allows controlled usage - points: • some EVs do not have a DC rapid charge inlet: Fluence, Kangoo ZE, E-REVs, PHEVs • Zoe & Smart can take an AC rapid charge through Type 2 connection
Where do you plan to chargethe vehicle? • Work-place charging • Charging at home • Public charging points
Public infrastructure • Rapidly growing nationwide network • www.zap-map.com • 5,277 charge points, as of 6th February • Slow chargers – 3 pin connector cable • Fast chargers – Type 2 connector cable • Motorway network of rapid charge units • being developed
