EV Charging Skids for Heavy Vehicles

The electrification of transport is no longer limited to passenger cars. Across Australia and globally, heavy vehicles, delivery trucks and logistics fleets are rapidly transitioning towards electric power. This shift is being driven by rising fuel costs, stricter emissions regulations and corporate sustainability targets. But while electric trucks are gaining traction, one major challenge remains – charging infrastructure. Why Charging heavy vehicles is different Charging a heavy vehicle isn’t the same as plugging in a car. Electric trucks require: •  Much higher output – often 150kW – 350kW+ DC fast charging •  Longer charging durations – depending on battery size •  More physical space – for access and manoeuvrability •  Grid capacity planning– due to large energy demand Fleet operators can’t rely on standard public charging networks. Instead, they need purpose-built, scalable charging solutions designed specifically for depots, logistics hubs, and industrial sites as this is where charging will take place. EV charging skid advantages •  Pre-assembled – plug and play system •  Rapid deployment – days instead of months •  Integrated protection – bollards, frames and cable management •  Flexibility – easily repositioned as fleet needs change •  Reduced civil works – less site disruptions For fleet operators this means faster rollout and lower upfront costs while maintaining flexibility as operations evolve.

The Advantages of Energy Monitoring

Energy prices continue to rise, and for many small businesses electricity is a significant operational expense. Installing a Smappee Energy Management System gives businesses the visibility and control needed to reduce energy waste and improve efficiency. Smappee provides real-time monitoring of electricity usage, allowing businesses to see exactly where their power is being used. This makes it easy to identify energy-hungry equipment, reduce unnecessary consumption and lower electricity bills. For businesses with solar systems, Smappee can also maximise solar self-consumption by directing excess energy to loads such as EV chargers or battery storage instead of exporting it to the grid. The platform also supports smart EV charging, load balancing and automated energy control, ensuring your electrical infrastructure operates efficiently without overloading your supply. For small businesses looking to reduce costs, improve sustainability, and gain greater control over energy usage, Smappee provides a powerful and scalable solution.

Evolution of EV Charging Infrastructure

As EV adoption accelerates across Australia, businesses are looking for faster and more cost-effective ways to install charging infrastructure. One solution gaining popularity is our EV charging skids. Unlike traditional installations that require significant civil works, EV charging skids are pre-assembled on modular platforms that allow chargers and protection equipment to be installed quickly and efficiently. Key benefits of EV charging skids include: •  Faster deployment – Pre-built systems reduce on-site installation time dramatically•  Lower installation costs – Less trenching (if any), concrete work and labour required•  Scalable infrastructure – Easily expand charging capacity as EV demand grows•  Relocatable solutions – Skids can be moved around a site, or to new premises•  Integrated energy management – Perfect for combining with solar, batteries and smart energy monitoring For commercial properties, fleet depots, shopping centres and workplaces, EV charging skids provide a flexible and future-ready approach to electrification. As the transition to electric vehicles continues, solutions that simplify installation and reduce cost will play a key role in accelerating infrastructure rollout. The future of EV charging is not just smarter — it’s modular and scalable.
