What is one load‑management strategy that let you add EV charging to a multi‑family property without a costly service upgrade? Which hardware, software setting, or resident policy worked best in your deployment, and why?

When we added EV chargers to a 24-unit complex, we used smart chargers with built-in load sharing and set charging to off-peak hours through the app. Instead of pulling 40 amps per unit, we spread power dynamically based on who was plugged in. That one adjustment avoided a costly utility upgrade and kept our residents happy with reliable access to charging.
