Mer launches electric vehicle charging design consultancy

Mer has launched an electric vehicle (EV) charging design consultancy service to help accelerate fleet electrification.

Its EV charging design consultants will work closely with customers to create tailored EV charging infrastructure designs.

The new service aims to addresses critical pain points that can hold back EV charging strategies and optimise infrastructure budgets, with detailed cost analysis, cost-benefit evaluation, energy efficiency analysis and renewable energy integration for additional cost-savings and sustainability.

Natasha Fry, head of sales at Mer, said: “Our design and consultancy service removes the uncertainty or nervousness around switching to electric vehicles. 

“By shining a light on perfectly valid concerns around upfront costs, space and power requirements and the practicalities of EV charging, we help people see that these are not barriers but challenges that they can overcome, with highly specific, contextual support offered by our design consultants.”

The design service also provides customers with 3D modelling and artificial intelligence (AI) images to help give an accurate simulation of the finished charging infrastructure within the context of the specific site. This includes the layout, vehicle bays, walkways and electrical schematics. 

Fry continued: “Getting the design of your EV charging set up from the outset saves time and money.

“Our comprehensive, tailored approach provides a full turnkey solution – from the first site survey through to installation and beyond – if the customer wants it. So, there’s no need for a business to try to coordinate multiple partners to design, install and run their EV charging infrastructure. But there’s no obligation to use Mer, as we offer each of our services as a standalone service.”
