Enerando Offers AC Charging Infrastructure for Retail Sector
As electric vehicle adoption grows, Enerando is providing AC charging infrastructure solutions for the retail sector. The company notes AC charging is often the most economical and practical choice.
The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing the demand for charging infrastructure, making it a crucial aspect for the retail sector. Enerando, an energy solutions provider, is addressing this by offering solutions that transform parking areas into strategic assets. The company asserts that charging points are evolving from optional services to essential components of modern retail locations.
Several factors are driving the need for more charging points. Regulatory pressures, including Germany's GEIG law and broader European directives, mandate action. Simultaneously, the rising number of EVs increases the demand for reliable and accessible charging. Enerando emphasizes that strategically integrated charging infrastructure can provide retailers with a sustainable competitive advantage.
Enerando recommends AC charging infrastructure (11–22 kW) as the most suitable solution for most retail settings. This type of charging aligns with typical customer visit durations of 30-60 minutes, involves significantly lower investment and connection costs, allows for quick installation, and is scalable. DC fast charging, by contrast, is better suited for high-traffic transit locations requiring higher power.
While hardware is important, Enerando identifies the operational complexity as the primary challenge. Issues arise from managing diverse user groups, different tariff structures, payment methods, legal compliance, and technical integration. The company provides comprehensive solutions covering analysis, planning, installation, and ongoing operation and optimization. Their goal is to deliver economically viable, legally compliant, and future-proof charging infrastructure with minimal internal effort for the client.
Enerando suggests that by strategically planning charging infrastructure, retailers can enhance their location's appeal, meet regulatory requirements, and leverage existing parking spaces, thereby preparing for future mobility needs.
