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.

  • Why move all those lumps of metal on the train? Just move the people and have a car share system at the stations like this


    Well that is good too, but you have to include provision also for  folk with  luggage, prams, shopping etc. My vehicle  is also a mobile toolbox, which I'd hate to decant more often than necessary


    Also you have to allow for the subtle paradigm shift between a Swiss railway and a UK one.

    The first it a means of transport the second is a profit making  real estate company with long thin assets, and a secondary business renting vehicle storage services to train companies.



    Personally for sanity  think we should be moving away from apartments,  at least as apartments are round here are done,  which seems to be to chop up solid wall Victorian buildings into 30m2 units with randomly placed partitions silly shaped rooms,  poor sound proofing and and no greenspace or parking outside, and to ask £600- £800 /month for it. Then folk wonder why there are bikes on the landing and the fire doors never get shut. It is no-ones job to provide a bike shed...


    For those who have discovered working from home involves being perched on the end of a mattress with their feet against the cupboard under the sink it  is not much fun, and no way at all to educate youngsters. Personally I have a semi-det house and some garden, but I do see what other folk are doing and it's not great.
