As a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) that provides funding for strategically deploying electric vehicle charging infrastructure along major US highways, many fuel and convenience retail marketers are looking to incorporate EV chargers into their existing sites. With the ability to accelerate project timelines, mitigate up-front installation costs, and deliver remote monitoring and control, an intelligent turnkey switchgear solution uniquely positions marketers to roll out their EV charging initiatives.
How Can NexPhase™ Help Fuel & Convenience Retailers?
The NexPhase™ Smart EV Switchgear is an all-in-one switchgear panel containing the entire infrastructure required between the utility service and Level 3 DC fast chargers. Unlike any switchgear of its kind, NexPhase™ features cutting-edge grid intelligence for switchgear and EV charger remote monitoring and control. Consider these benefits NexPhase™ can provide fuel and convenience retail marketers:
EASY INSTALL
NexPhase™ only requires the on-site connections for the incoming power and outgoing charger connections, drastically reducing on-site installation time and costs.
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 marketers can identify outages, remotely cycle power, and react with precision.
SAFETY
NexPhase™ includes integrated emergency-stop capabilities for NFPA compliance and added safety capabilities including EV charger crash detection and flammable vapor monitoring with automatic shutdown and remote alerts.
