Select power systems (SPS)<\/a> offers quality, detailed, and comprehensive support for the ever-evolving utility industry. Specialising in engineering, design, and management solutions, we offer tailored solutions and packages to our partners and clients, meeting the specific needs of each.<\/p>\n Our highly skilled, and experienced team are experts in their field, and work to address the individual and common power challenges faced by our clients. SPS is a certified, woman-owned small business, established in 2017 when CEO Heather Eason decided to branch out with her 20 years of experience, on a mission to approach the engineering industry differently.<\/p>\n SPS champions progress and diversity, aiming to train the next generation of female engineers and entrepreneurs, and is determined to offer a platform that supports women and minorities within the industry. We are also committed to reducing the environmental impact of innovation and engineering, recognising that the future lies in the ability to sustainably design, plan, and construct.<\/p>\n SELECT Power Systems offers expertise in planning, project management<\/a>, electrical and civil engineering among its multitude of services. In tackling the challenge posed by widescale electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, this extensive experience and knowledge sets the company apart from its competitors.<\/p>\n Electric vehicles are the future of transportation, they are one of the biggest steps in the transition towards a greener, cleaner society. However, this is a transition that is almost impossible without the establishment of the relevant accompanying infrastructure.<\/p>\n Widespread adoption of EVs is largely reliant on the ease of access to infrastructure, and the speed with which cars can be charged. Essentially, it is about providing a viable alternative to the petrol station.<\/p>\n In June 2020, Bloomberg.com referred to EV chargers as \u2018the final roadblock to America\u2019s electric car future.\u2019<\/a> This is due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to: the number of EV charging points; their vicinity to neighbourhoods; the cost of installation; and charging time and associated costs.<\/p>\n As the demand for EVs increases, the challenge is not just building more charging points but also predicting where drivers will want to use these charging points. Approximately 60% of homes in the UK have off-street parking, leaving a significant number of potential EV owners without a convenient place to charge their vehicles.<\/p>\n If charging EVs at home cannot become a widespread solution, the challenge is then where charging points can be situated to give easy access to a wide number of neighbourhoods. That, in itself brings its own challenges, given the time taken to charge a vehicle.<\/p>\n With an estimated slow charging time of around 36 hours and a fast-charging time of between 30 minutes and two hours, dependent on a variety of factors, it is possible that charging points will be overwhelmed. There are then additional questions of accompanying security and location issues that must be resolved to meet increasing demand.<\/p>\n The fastest charging time for an EV is currently around 20 minutes. EV infrastructure has to evolve to cope with the delays that may be associated with this kind of charging time. These delays could include the speed with which additional power can be transported to these stations as well as queues to recharge vehicles. This raises questions about the quantity of chargers required at each station in order to meet demand, and therefore the power each station must house.<\/p>\n Location is consequently a hugely important aspect of EV infrastructure; it must be considered how these charging stations can be built to cope with this power and also how to transport the required power to them.<\/p>\n Clearly, the quality of these charging stations is just as important as their quantity, a factor that SPS recognises and intends to remedy with their dedicated support services.<\/p>\n We support EV charging infrastructure development<\/a> across North America and international markets by providing essential design services; including full electrical system engineering, site qualification, site design, and construction management for EV charging sites. SPS specialises in fleet charging depot development and remedying electric service deficient sites with innovative power solutions.<\/p>\n Most often the biggest hurdle to building a successful EV fleet charging hub relates to the power available and how long it will take to bring additional power to the chosen location. We work with the customer to find the \u2018best\u2019 location for the charging infrastructure; this may even mean at a different location altogether if the initial cost and delays are too great.<\/p>\n Our focus is on ensuring that your fleet is operational as quickly as possible and with the best use of your resources and capital.<\/p>\nEV uptake requires significant infrastructure<\/h3>\n
