Apartment & Multi-Unit Residential Buildings
Intelligent load management solutions for shared residential environments
The Core Challenge
Apartments face shared electrical constraints, common parking areas, and need fair access and billing across residents. Without intelligent control, EV adoption quickly stresses building infrastructure.
🏢 Load Calculation Example
For a typical 100-unit apartment complex with 200 parking spaces:
Scenario 1 (Conservative)
- 20% of spaces with chargers = 40 × 7 kW units
- Peak simultaneous load (40% usage): 112 kW required
- Typical building load: 150-300 kW (affordable upgrade)
Scenario 2 (Smart Load Balancing via Tecell)
- Same 40 chargers, but staggered charging
- Load reduced to 40-50 kW through off-peak scheduling
- Often fits within existing transformer capacity
- Zero upgrade cost in many cases
🔧 Installation Details
Contractor Requirements
- Minimum class: Class B (multi-charger coordination)
