Array Charging

No, the firmware inside our Array Charging boxes has been created so that it doesn't need an outside connection; it is standalone and communicates with the EV chargepoints via a signal cable. However, the chargers will require a connection to enable smart reporting, billing and Over-the-Air updates.

22kW or any three phase units cannot be load managed on our Array Charging system. The system has been designed to make the most out of a limited power supply and is designed around 7kW EV chargepoints.

Yes, the Array Charging load management system can be rated at 40A, 60A, 80A or 100A TPN or 100A SPN if you only have a single phase supply.

This does mean that there are a reduced amount of EV chargepoints which can be load managed but the total number will still be more than if load management was not used.

All cars will receive a charge at all times no matter how many are plugged in on the Array Charging system. This is not a first come, first served system and even at peak times, electricity will be delivered to all cars but at a lower charge rate.

All EV chargepoints will deliver the maximum rate of charge available at all times based on the current load on that phase at any given time.

Typically, all cars will charge at 7kW and our Array Charging system will only reduce charging speed when necessary.

Once vehicles are unplugged or their batteries are full, the rate of charge will then increase for the remaining vehicles, in line with the now spare capacity.
