EV Charging and Lamp Posts

richard64

We have a job wiring lamp post lighting in a private car park.

Somebody has decided that an EV point will be fitted at each lamp post and will supply the light.

When you apply the 3% volt drop for the luminaire, obviously the cable size increases substantially.

Any thoughts?

    Would it make sense for each block to have at least one fast charger that could be used many times a day and provides a quick charge, rather than chargers that may only be used by one vehicle each day and are slow?

    The biggest issue could be ensuring a fair usage policy is established and enforced to prevent people just parking in EV charging bays after their vehicles are charged.

    I had an issue today with not being able to fully fill my van up with diesel.

    This morning I filled up at a card payment diesel pump, then on the way home I stopped at the same garage to refill ready for tomorrow, however the pump cut off without the tank being full, because there’s a maximum limit of £99 per day and it added this mornings total to the evening total.

    Not actually being able to fill up quickly and easily on demand is a nuisance that may become a problem, regardless of fuel type.
