kVA supply — built to scale to 101 chargers
THE CHALLENGE
Bastion Quay is a 51-home development where every parking bay is allocated to a resident. As EV demand grew, the managing agent wanted charging available to anyone who needed it — without a disruptive install each time, and without paying for a supply upgrade the development didn't yet need.
THE SOLUTION
- Dedicated EV distribution cabinet on a new ESB supply, designed to upgrade from 50kVA to 100kVA as demand grows.
- Full cabling to all 51 bays on day one, with a blank in every bay — the decision that drives the long-term economics.
- Intelligent load & phase management sharing power dynamically across all three phases.
- Smart app & billing platform — residents pay for what they use; the OMC carries no admin.
THE RESULTS
- All 51 bays charger-ready — the disruptive civils work is done once.
- 13 chargers already live and in daily use by residents.
- Maximum SEAI grant secured, with GEV handling the application for the OMC.
- Adding the next charger takes minutes in a pre-cabled bay — and the supply is built to scale toward 101 chargers.
WHY THE APPROACH WORKS
The costly part of apartment charging is the shared infrastructure, not the chargers themselves. By grant-funding that backbone once, cabling every bay up front and sizing the supply to grow, Bastion Quay turned a series of expensive one-off installs into a simple, low-cost upgrade path — with the SEAI grant covering most of the initial cost.
