A Charge Point Operator (CPO) is on the front line of the expanding EV charger infrastructure. As the company responsible for building, operating, and maintaining the growing network of EV charging stations, a CPO's bottom line is directly tied to both speed-of-install and ultimately charger uptime. The ability to accelerate EV charging station build timelines and increase EV charger uptimes allows a CPO to both mitigate up-front development costs and maximize their maintenance budgets.
How Can NexPhase™ Help Charge Point Operators?
Unlike any switchgear of its kind, the NexPhase™ Smart EV Switchgear features cutting-edge grid intelligence for switchgear and EV charger remote monitoring, troubleshooting, and control. Armed with a high degree of EV charger infrastructure insight from NexPhase™, utilities can deploy maintenance with intelligence and only as needed – limiting truck roles, speeding reaction time, and lowering overall maintenance costs. Consider these benefits the NexPhase™ can provide utilities:
INSTALLATION
NexPhase™ only requires the on-site connections for the incoming power and outgoing charger connections, drastically reducing on-site installation time and costs.
CONNECTED
An embedded monitoring system provides remote access to real-time health data with remote power cycling capabilities and automated alarms to facilitate condition-based maintenance planning.
RESILIENCY
With early detection of EV charger deficiencies and system performance diagnostics provided by NexPhase™, CPOs are provided with the tools to improve uptime, extend equipment service life, and enhance the reliability of their EV charger systems.
OUTAGE MITIGATION
It’s approximated that up to 25% of public U.S. EV chargers are out of operation at any given time, with these outages going undetected until a technician is physically present. NexPhase™ provides ongoing state-of-charge and switchgear performance data so CPOs can identify outages, remotely cycle power, and react with precision.
