We can support you on charging solutions adapted to your context. When Hydro Quebec meters are accessible, the most affordable solution is the DCC-9. It allows the installation of a dedicated charging station per parking lot. Charging billing is simply on the Hydro account bill of every electric vehicle driver.
When the meters are not accessible, other solutions are recommended and make it possible to adapt to existing or future constraints of the building while facilitating the management of terminals whether it is for a property manager or a condominium association.
Example: Out of 132 electricity meters in a building, 99 are accessible and 33 are inaccessible, which means that two charging solutions should therefore be adopted. For accessible meters, the DCC-9 charge controller should be chosen as the solution.
While for inaccessible meters, other solutions may be recommended depending on the charging strategy to be implemented (charging at the terminal, power sharing).
Finally, many new or existing buildings are experiencing a growth of electric vehicles in their parking lots. Ex: 100 parking lots, 5 electric vehicles. To prepare the building for the future needs of tenants or co-owners, the recommended solution when Hydro Quebec's meters are accessible will be to put 5 x DCC-9 as well as the charging stations and add 95 DCC-9-BOX. The building will then be EV-READY and will be able to support 100% electric vehicles when required by subsequently installing the electronic components in the DCC-9-BOX and the charging station adapted to the user's needs.
