The rise of electric vehicles is leading to the increasing need for EV charging infrastructure, at business premises as much as other locations. Unfortunately, intensive use of charging stations carries some risk, particularly for example where as many as 15 stations on one site could be in constant use during the day to charge vehicles.
The main risk is a dramatic increase in peak demand, which could lead to a local grid outage. This could mean that businesses might be obliged to reinforce grid infrastructure and its connection to the transmission grid, which can be a very costly affair.
