Magenta, a company that has been developing unique EV charging solutions under their “ChargeGrid” brand, has come up with another unique solution, this time for large residential complexes under their product range – ChargeGrid Prisma. The solution is developed specifically at solving the complex and multi-faceted problems for EV charging at residential societies where not everyone has dedicated parking slots. This situation forced EV enthusiasts to resort to pulling wires from homes to parking areas; this was not only extremely unsafe, but legality issues were also involved.
ChargeGrid Prisma solves this challenge by addressing multiple issues and involving multiple stakeholders. This EV charging hardware which is amenable to multi-user profile. The user interfacing software integrates with the existing Facility management software of residential societies and reduces the pain of the society in managing the EV charging process.
Over the last one year, Magenta has worked with multiple RWA (Residential Welfare Associations), Apartment Federations and EV owners to understand the problem and solve each of these challenges. The outcome is a unique model which leverages the charging assets for EV charging across multiple users. While the pilots are in progress in multiple cities, one of the first to fully go live is at Gundecha Trillium, a large and forward-looking housing complex in Mumbai. This pilot was supported by Adani Electricity which is the utility supplier in the area.
“Making adoption of EV by facilitating EV charging is a key mandate at Adani Electricity and we are running multiple initiatives on this. Adani is proud to be working with Magenta in deploying solutions to make this possible at one of our key customer ends for residential EV charging. We will continue to work on EV deployment solutions for easy access to our consumers.”
