Agriculture Sector Charging

Project Overview

Agrii, a leader in agronomy services, teamed up with EVC Solutions to bring seamless and sustainable EV charging solutions to multiple sites across the UK. The project focused on optimizing power usage, ensuring efficiency, and creating a user-friendly experience for their fleet and staff vehicles - all while supporting Agrii’s sustainability goals.

Project Goals

• Maximising Power Usage: Efficiently utilising existing electrical infrastructure to avoid unnecessary upgrades.
• Effective Load Management: Balancing power distribution to meet demand without strain.
• User-Friendly Charging: Making charging simple and accessible for all users.
• Strategic Scheduling: Charging vans overnight and staff vehicles during the day for maximum efficiency.

Solution

Comprehensive Assessment and Design
EVC Solutions began by assessing Agrii’s electrical infrastructure across its sites. Using smart charging technology, we designed a system that optimises power distribution across multiple charging points. The solution avoided costly infrastructure upgrades while ensuring reliable performance.

Dynamic Load Management
To handle varying power demands, we implemented advanced load management systems. These systems adjust power distribution in real-time, prioritising fleet vans overnight and company or staff cars during the day. This strategic approach ensures every vehicle is charged when it’s needed without overloading the power supply.

Ease of Use
Making life easier for users was a top priority. The charging stations feature an intuitive interface, compatible with a wide range of EV models. Agrii also provided training sessions to ensure everyone felt confident using the system.

Implementation

• Overnight Fleet Charging: Agrii’s fleet vans are charged overnight, ensuring they’re ready to hit the road each morning without interruptions.
• Daytime Staff Charging: During the day, company and staff cars take priority. This schedule maximises power usage and ensures availability for all.

Results

The partnership between Agrii and EVC Solutions delivered a game-changing EV charging solution across multiple UK sites. With smart load management and user-friendly systems, Agrii has streamlined their fleet operations while supporting their sustainability initiatives. The project has made the transition to electric vehicles seamless and efficient.

Conclusion

Agrii and EVC Solutions have shown how to do EV charging right. By maximising existing resources, implementing smart solutions, and focusing on user experience, they’ve set a new standard for sustainable fleet management. Together, we’re helping pave the way to a cleaner, greener future.
