EV Charging Design Service
EV infrastructure designed for compliance with Part S Building Regulations whilst optimising for cost and long-term operation.
How we help
1) Design - compliance achieved often at 50% of the cost
2) Supply - we typically achieve very good value on hardware
3) Install - outsource to Cosmic or deliver with your incumbent team
4) Adopt - we operate the system from day one
“We recently worked with Cosmic Charging on a Part S compliant EV charging strategy, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Their knowledge of the regulations and practical requirements was clear at every stage of the project.
We would highly recommend them for EV infrastructure planning and Part S compliance support.”
Ramon Seera, Head of Technical at Dorchester Group
Why is EV charging complex for shared parking?
Installing EV chargers is straightforward when parking sits next to a house.
In shared parking areas, such as apartment car parks, underground parking or courtyards, systems become more complex. Power must be shared, load managed, and someone has to keep the infrastructure running.
Cosmic designs these systems to work from the start.
What does this mean for shared parking areas, underground car parks and courtyards?
To address the specific needs of shared parking environments, developers need to consider the following factors at design stage to avoid costly changes later:
Electrical capacity
How to provide enough power for a working system without triggering unnecessary grid upgrade costs.
Value engineering
How to reduce installation costs through the right design and equipment choices.
Part S compliance
How to ensure the installation meets Approved Document S requirements from day one.
Ongoing management
Who will manage, maintain and support the system after handover.
Adoption, Management
and Maintenance
Resident onboarding
Billing and payment collection
Load management software
Maintenance and repairs
Resident support
Ongoing system management
System monitoring and safety checks
Developers can complete and hand over the site knowing the EV charging infrastructure is compliant, operational and managed for the long term, without adding to the service charge or responsibility to the managing agent.
