WILL THIS COMPANY MAKE MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING CHARGING EASIER?

EV Channels Review

This video from Transport Evolved interviews David Corbeil, CEO of RVE, about their innovative solution for EV charging in multi-family dwellings. RVE's system, the DCC Plus, aims to simplify home charging for renters and condo owners by making buildings 'smart' rather than relying on individual smart charging stations. Key benefits highlighted include automatic billing tied to utility meters, load management to protect building infrastructure, and flexibility for residents to choose their own charging equipment. The system uses standard industrial communication protocols, making it easier for utilities to adopt. RVE claims over 40,000 units sold across North America, with installations suitable for low to mid-rise buildings. The reviewer notes the system's reliability, industrial-grade components, and offline functionality as significant advantages, particularly for security and resilience during internet or power outages. The primary drawback is that it requires dedicated parking spaces, which is a separate urban planning challenge.
