Co-ownership -  Electric vehicle charging infrastructure for residences

Using an electric vehicle requires a safe and easy-to-use charging system. Schneider Electric has designed residential charging terminals in order to meet these requirements in the best possible way.

In a co-ownership residence car park configuration, the charging systems can be installed:

• In personal parking garages or boxes, the terminal is connected to the existing individual electrical system or a line is routed from the flat.
• In the case of unassigned parking boxes, common areas and the car park, the charging infrastructure is connected to the common area's electrical distribution system.

It should be noted that, in all cases, each circuit of the domestic station is protected by a earth leakage protection device.

Several co-owners or tenants have an electric vehicle although all may not have a garage. Also, frequent visitors with this type of vehicle are welcomed.

Free-standing terminals are available in the car park:

• Private terminals: the user possesses an RFID badge for his/her own free-standing terminal. The user simply presents the badge to his/her terminal in order to use it. The free-standing terminal offers individual metering.

Common terminals: authorised individuals are issued with a personalised RFID badge which can used with any
free-standing terminal. The free-standing terminal sends the user's identifier and consumption to a server.
