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.

  • 30000000 vehicles divided by 8000 filling stations = 3750 vehicles per filling station.


    Assume each vehicle is filled once a week and garages open 6.00am to 10.30 pm like our local supermarket filling station, that’s around about 37 vehicles  per hour visiting each of the garages.


    So does each garage need replacing with around 40 fast chargers or more?
