[QUOTE="UNG, post: 550390, member: 8931"] There are many ways to look at this project and assess what the load may be now but by the time we move to a mainly EV using society I believe that a lot of expectations may be more demanding especially the EV charging. Your calcs make a lot of general assumptions and make no allowance for seasonal variations which could impact the charging requirements especially during the colder months also given that all EV chargepoints are generally smart devices it cannot be assumed that you can charge between 7pm - 7am if the grid load needs to be reduced to prevent power cuts the charge rate may be reduced or switched off to maintain the supply Sounds like a minimal solution only capable of delivering a little over 3Kw which would not be that good if you are expecting to fully charge overnight in 12 hours It is usual to rotate the phase connections in co-located chargepoints and that connection information is programmed into the load management for each chargepoint so it can manage the load properly [/QUOTE]
