RAPID TAXI CHARGING
Greater Manchester Taxi Charging Infrastructure Programme
Electrical infrastructure design for a regional programme of dedicated rapid-charging sites delivered for Transport for Greater Manchester through the Be.EV network, supporting the transition of licensed Hackney carriage fleets to electric vehicles.
The programme extended across multiple Greater Manchester local authority areas and included the delivery of approximately 30 to 40 charging sites, utilising Swarco Raption 50 rapid chargers to provide dedicated charging provision for licensed taxi drivers.
The work covered site-specific electrical layouts, charger supply design, cable calculations, protection coordination and the development of suitable protective measures for equipment installed within publicly accessible on-street and car-park environments.
A simultaneous-contact risk assessment was also undertaken to assess the interaction between the charging equipment, vehicles and adjacent street furniture, informing the electrical design and the selection of appropriate protective measures.
