On-site charging has become more of a necessity than a luxury thanks to the steady rise in EV adoption. In fact, Plugin America’s national workplace charging survey reports that 76% of drivers polled think it’s important for employers to provide access to EV charging at work. As employees navigate the “Great Office Comeback,” all signs point to companies looking to install more chargers in order to keep up with workplace demand.

But as electric vehicle sales increase, what will happen when your workplace charging hits capacity? Many standard charging solutions on the market today would answer that your organization either needs to build more power, or implement time limits on charging. 

Use technology that moves charging around

This introduces a new issue — workplace productivity. When organizations implement time windows or penalty systems to limit charging time, workers then have to spend more time moving their cars and away from their desks. The best case scenario is that there’s plenty of available chargers for employees to charge. But what often happens is that individuals leave their desks, only to find cars still parked, blocking newly-available charging stations. 

Imagine a charging technology that could move the power around instead of the vehicles themselves. This way, workers wouldn’t need to leave their desks.

EverCharge’s patented intelligent load management solution, SmartPower, maximizes site infrastructure by managing available power based on vehicle demand in real-time. When the technology detects that a car is no longer drawing the same amount of power as it was before, it shifts power around (whether or not all charging stations are in use) so that every EV is receiving what it demands.

Now, after your employee plugs in, they don’t have to think about charging for the rest of the day. No more time spent searching for available chargers, or moving vehicles to avoid fines and other penalties — when they return to their car, they’ll have enough charge to get home.

Continue to scale

Instead of moving cars around, our technology moves power around to find the optimal utilization ratio without overwhelming your infrastructure. And what comes next?

As a turnkey solution provider, we provide additional charging insights for both our hardware and software. Using GLANCE, our charge management system, we can analyze your organization’s power usage and see where there’s room to save or adjust. While the alternative means additional funding to scale, we utilize SmartPower first to find areas of opportunity without building new chargers or power sources.
