Flat and TC-ER cables have long been used to power machinery and motors in industrial settings. However, their potential for installing EV chargers in parking garages has been overlooked. Unlike the conventional method of using round cables within metal conduits, podis® offers a much more practical solution.
As a TC-ER flat cable, podis® eliminates the need for additional mechanical protection in covered garages, making it ideal for underground or multi-level parking areas. By leveraging the benefits of podis®, parking garages can establish flexible and reliable EV charger setups, tapping into the proven reliability of flat cables in industrial environments..
The transformation of transportation through e-mobility is bringing forth a cleaner and more sustainable mode of transit. However, for electric vehicles to be widely adopted, the presence of robust and accessible charging infrastructures is crucial. Unfortunately, Type 2 charging, also known as destination charging, has been slow to gain traction in key areas such as residential condos and commercial spaces. The high initial setup costs have proven to be a significant barrier to adoption in these locations.
Building owners and electrical installers need help setting up charging stations for tenants or public access in commercial spaces. These challenges include high setup costs, managing power draw, adapting to tenant changes, time pressures for installation and maintenance, and meeting the increased demand for EV spaces. Overcoming these obstacles is essential to provide convenient and reliable charging infrastructure for electric vehicle users.
This article will discuss how podis® addresses building owners’ and electrical installers’ specific pain points.
For Building Owners
As a building owner, establishing a charging infrastructure can be complex and costly. Podis® offers the following benefits tailored to address your pain points:
Flexible and Scalable System
Podis® provides a flexible and scalable system where station locations can easily be changed along the main power bus. This allows for the addition of more stations later. Building owners can avoid investing in the entire solution upfront, potentially saving on material costs. Additional stations can be added to the existing bus if capacity allows, eliminating the need for purchasing materials each time a new station is added.
Faster Installation and Less Downtime
Podis® provides a remarkable advantage with its 80% faster installation than traditional methods such as pipe and wire. This accelerated installation process significantly reduces downtime and minimizes disruptions to residents and businesses. Moreover, the quicker installation time enables building owners to efficiently meet the rising demand for EV spaces.
For Electrical Installers
For Electrical Installers, Podis® offers key benefits and solutions to address their specific pain points:
Alleviates Demand and Labor Shortage
With the faster installation process of podis®, electrical installers can complete more projects in less time. The availability of podis® products in the large warehouse in Canada ensures easy access to the required materials. Additionally, tap-off modules come with pre-wired 6 ft cables ready to terminate in the charger, simplifying planning and procurement.
Enhances Customer Experience and Retention
Podis® enables installers to provide a better customer experience by reducing wait times and ensuring a cleaner workspace. The fast installation process ensures minimal customer disruption, increasing customer satisfaction and customer retention rates.
Offers Cost Advantage
By saving on material costs through the use of podis®, electrical installers can offer more competitive pricing to their customers. This cost advantage can give installers a competitive edge in the market.
Ensures 100% Guaranteed Connection and Maintenance-Free
Podis® ensures a secure and reliable connection, providing installers and their customers’ peace of mind. The system’s design eliminates ongoing maintenance, reducing the time and effort required for post-installation support.
Decentralized Power Distribution: Simplifying EV Charging Infrastructure
Decentralized power distribution is a fundamental concept that simplifies EV charging infrastructure setup. Unlike the traditional approach, where each connection to the charger originates from a main electrical box, decentralized power distribution utilizes a shared long power bus. This innovative method optimizes power distribution within the charging infrastructure.
Proven Technology with a Decade of Success
Decentralized power distribution, implemented through solutions like podis®, has been successfully used in industrial settings for over a decade. This technology can be found in prominent facilities such as Amazon distribution centers and international airports like Pearson, LAX, Heathrow, and many more. In these industrial settings, decentralized power distribution powers multiple motors along extensive conveyor lines. Its high flexibility and ability to maintain low voltage drop over long distances make it a reliable and efficient choice.
