Installing EV Charging Units in Petrol Stations

Petrol stations have various strict requirements regarding their electrical installations for obvious reasons. How will adding a MW size supply for a few high power chargers be dealt with, separation? Will earth leakage currents be a problem? If I remember correctly the reason the canopys are so high is to move the lighting into a different zone.

  • Most petrol stations have a parking area separate from the petrol pumps, for people using the shop.  So it shouldn't be too hard to physically separate the chargers from the pumps by installing chargers there.


    I know of one petrol station near me where its (one) charger is well away from the pumps.


    In the long run, get rid of the petrol pumps entirely and replace them with chargers.  From 2030, I would expect demand for petrol and diesel to start dropping steadily.  Se petrol stations will become unprofitable if there are too many in one town.
