Concept for Pacific Electric Station EV charging stations.
The goal of PES to bring DC Fast Charge electric charging stations to as many business locations as possible. The typical station will have 2-50 kW DC Fast charging stations and 2-optional level 2 charging stations.
These are not intended to compete with the “Superstations”, but to compliment them. These would be sited at businesses that would like to attract EV fast charge customers to spend the typical time at their business that it takes to charge a vehicle (1/2 – 1 hour). The advantages of the small stations are many, including:
1. Give EV owners more options for charging near a business of their choice.
2. Give entrepreneurs an opportunity to own a small business that requires no employees, inventory, or storefront. Accounting is completely automated.
3. Give existing property the chance to attract new customers to their businesses.
Advantages
1. The small stations have less impact on the electric grid since the electric demand will be spread out through the area.
2.Stations will be “cookie cutter” making repair parts available by the next day in most areas. All the electric components will be “Off the shelf” items. This means that all components will be readily available for installation and repairs as needed minimizing downtime.
3. The “module” is a patent pending equipment shelter that incorporates all electrical equipment and is also a sign monument equipped with 4 sided LED signs and area lighting.
4. The typical installation can be completed in 1 week because everything is locally stocked and all concrete is precast, elimination messy cast in place concrete.
5. Because everything is precast. The equipment can easily be removed, and site restored to original condition
Site Requirements
- Site should be as close as possible to 480 V Power.
- Site should have high visibility
- Site should be at a business where people can spend 1 hour (Restaurants, shopping
centers, movie theaters, family entertainment centers, bowling alleys, etc.)
How the business model works
1. In order to help attract customers the business owner provides 4 parking spaces. There is not any cost or other financial obligation to the property owner.
2. The investor owns the equipment. The investor also keeps all tax credits (30% Federal (2001) & State), incentives, utility company rebates, grants, and other programs available in the area of installation. After the investor recovers his complete investment a negotiated split of the profits will be made between the investor and property owner.
