— MULTI-UNIT DWELLINGS

​Installing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at a Multi-Unit Dwelling (MUD) can be a complex process, but with careful planning and COIL’s EV Charging Experts, it can be completed efficiently and effectively. Here is a general overview of the installation process:

​

1. Planning and Assessment

Before installation, the property should be assessed to determine the most appropriate location for the charging stations and to determine the electrical capacity of the building. This will help ensure that the installation process runs smoothly and that the charging stations are properly integrated into the building's electrical system.

​

2. Obtaining Permits and Approvals

Before installation can begin, it is important to obtain all necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. This will typically include electrical permits, building permits, and approvals from the local utility company.

​

3. Installing Electrical Infrastructure

Once the necessary permits and approvals are in place, the electrical infrastructure for the charging stations can be installed (if necessary upgrades are needed). This will typically involve upgrading the electrical service to the building, installing new electrical panels, and running new electrical circuits to the charging station locations.

​

4. Installing Charging Stations

Once the electrical infrastructure is in place, the charging stations themselves can be installed. This will typically involve mounting the charging stations on the wall or on a stand, connecting them to the electrical infrastructure, and programming them to ensure that they function properly.

​

5. Testing and Commissioning:

After installation is complete, the charging stations should be thoroughly tested to ensure that they are working properly and that they meet all safety and performance standards.

​
