Redi Shopping Center: 50 MWh Downloaded Electricity per year
First large public eparking charging destination
The Redi Shopping Center was opened on September 20, 2018, but the first charging events were already made at the opening day before. The entry of the new charging operator on the market sparked debate on social media, and our service was described, among other things, by the term MVP (Minimum Viable Product), which refers to an early product for market testing. At that time, our eparking application was still in the early stages of public parking.
Listening to and considering feedback is of paramount importance to us. A customer who brings out an unclear situation or suggests improvements will help us develop our service. We have received a lot of valuable feedback on which our application has been renewed and its usability improved. We are constantly developing our service to improve the customer experience.
Redi was the first completely public destination we were responsible for. In the past, we had managed some public charging points, but our strategy is primarily focused on properties where charging is limited to certain user groups such as residents or employees. We believe that charging is mainly done during parking at home or at work, where long -term parking allows efficient charging without significant top power challenges.
Red's charging field was a significant extension of our operations, even though we had previously managed major charging areas on the Hervanta campus of the University of Tampere, Technopolis and larger housing companies. In these sites, the user base is usually well established and the individual user often has the same download position in use.
How has Red been loaded and what have we learned?
Red's charging points have consumed about 50 megawatt hours during the year. There are nearly 7,200 charging events and over 1300 different users. The average charging power has been 4.41 kW.
Data shows that most of the charges have been done at 3.6 kW or lower. This indicates that many rechargeable cars utilize only one step for charging, and that there is still a use of Sukist sockets at public charging points.
The average charging time in Red has been 1.47 hours. The shorter charging times are partly due to the fact that the building stock in the area has not yet been fully completed. As the area evolves, as jobs and settlements increase, long -term parking is increasing, which is likely to extend charging times.
the Electric Cars Night in Redi, organized by Tesla Club Finland in late January.
Slow download is really popular at REDI.
After the start, REDI's consumption rates have risen.
There is a clear spike at the utilization rate when electric car drivers gathered at the REDI Electric Cars Night event.
The number of chargers every month is well established.
Red's meaning and cooperation in data analysis
Redi has served as a valuable example and an important reference for our new customers. We thank everyone involved for the cooperation!
For RED, we have collaborated with a data analytics company that has analyzed the data from the site. Their expertise has helped us to understand which information is essential to our customers and to make meaningful withdrawals from the data. This analysis has been valuable for the development of our services.
With Red, we have gained new major customer relationships such as Tripla , Arabia Service, Highway 30, Pasila Parking and Finnpark .
