CHALLENGE
A major shopping mall in a metropolitan area sought to support its sustainability goals and attract eco-conscious consumers by installing 20 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging ports in its parking lot. The project faced several challenges: the existing electrical infrastructure needed significant upgrades, the layout required careful planning to avoid disrupting the flow of parking spaces, and there was a need for a smooth implementation process to avoid operational disruptions at the mall.
SOLUTION
Steady Solutions was brought in to handle the design, planning, and installation of the EV charging stations. The project team conducted a comprehensive site assessment to determine the best locations for the charging ports while ensuring minimal impact on existing parking. Electrical engineers were engaged to evaluate and upgrade the power infrastructure, including transformers and distribution panels. The team worked closely with mall management to ensure clear communication and coordination throughout the project.
RESULTS
The installation of 20 EV charging stations was completed successfully, enhancing the mall’s sustainability profile and customer convenience. The project included a robust central management system for monitoring and payment, and all stations were thoroughly tested to ensure functionality. The upgrade to the electrical infrastructure was managed efficiently, meeting all local codes and safety standards. The mall experienced increased foot traffic from eco-conscious shoppers and generated additional revenue through user fees. The successful completion of the project not only supported the mall’s sustainability goals but also enhanced its reputation as a forward-thinking commercial space.
