Key Considerations for Apartment EV Charging

When planning to install EV charging stations in your apartment community, there are several key factors to consider, ensuring a smooth and successful implementation:

Billing capabilities

Decide how you’ll manage the costs of EV charging and determine the best method for billing residents.

Networked vs. non-networked

Choose between networked systems, which offer enhanced control and data collection, or non-networked systems, which are simpler and more cost-effective.

Assigned or shared parking

Determine whether charging stations will be reserved for specific residents or made available for shared use across the community.

Available power

Evaluate your building’s electrical capacity to determine the feasibility of installing EV chargers.

Run distance to parking stalls

The distance between your electrical room and parking spots can affect installation costs, making it an important factor in planning.

Power sharing capabilities

Consider dynamic power-sharing solutions that allow you to maximize the number of charging stations without overwhelming your building’s electrical capacity.

Wi-Fi in the garage

Check for Wi-Fi availability, as it may be required for networked EV charging systems to function properly.

Each of these factors can influence the overall costs of the project, depending on your community’s needs and preferences.

Conventional L2 Community Chargers

Level 2 community chargers are an excellent short-term solution for meeting immediate EV charging demands. Resound Energy conducts a thorough capacity analysis to determine if your building has enough available power. If sufficient power is found, we can tap into house power and install EV charging stations in guest or shared parking areas, providing easy access for your residents.

Some manufacturers even offer idle fees (e.g., $10/hr after full charge), encouraging residents to move their vehicles once charging is complete.

This cost-effective solution works particularly well for communities with parking garages, with costs varying depending on the run distance from the electrical room to the EV chargers.

For garden-style communities, projects may require civil work such as trenching and backfilling, which can increase the complexity of the installation.

Adding EV Charging Panels & Stations

For apartment communities without dedicated EV charging infrastructure, Resound Energy can upgrade your building’s electrical system to support future charging needs. We install raceways throughout the garage, allowing for flexible expansion of chargers in stages—whether you need 2, 4, 8, or 20 stations. While this option involves higher upfront costs compared to shared community chargers, future additions of EV charging stations become far more cost-efficient.

A key consideration in this setup is billing capabilities, which help determine the most suitable EV charging solution for your apartment complex.

Expanding an Existing EVCS Panel

If your community already has an EV charging panel but needs to expand its capacity, Resound Energy offers solutions with dynamic power-sharing technology. This enables you to add more EV chargers to an undersized electrical system without needing extra power, leading to substantial cost savings.

Important to note: To maintain long-term power-sharing capabilities, the same charging manufacturer must be used consistently throughout the building.

Solutions for Apartments with Limited Power

For older buildings with limited electrical capacity, Resound Energy leverages advanced EV charging technologies with onboard dynamic power sharing. For example, a 200-amp panel that would typically support eight 40-amp chargers can now handle up to 34 charging stations by using off-peak charging. This innovative solution allows properties to offer EV charging services without the need for expensive electrical service upgrades.

EV Charging for New Buildings

As new apartment buildings are constructed, general contractors increasingly integrate EV charging infrastructure from the outset. This includes setting up charging stations, EV-ready parking stalls, and EV-capable stalls. Resound Energy has extensive experience working with developers, ensuring that EV charging systems are installed at the most cost-effective points during construction. Since these projects are completed before the need for trenching or coring arises, the overall costs are significantly reduced.

Rip & Replace Old EV Chargers

If your community has outdated or non-functional EV chargers, Resound Energy offers a straightforward and cost-effective Rip & Replace service. As long as the existing wiring and conduit are compatible with modern EV charging technology, the only cost will be the installation of the new unit—making the upgrade process smooth and budget-friendly.

Explore these solutions and more to ensure your property is prepared to meet the growing demand for EV charging.
