December 2023 (update)Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Dear Residents,
Resident Engagement: Electric Vehicle Charging Points Project
As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping you informed about developments at Kings Chelsea, we wish to share important news about a proposed project.
In response to the changing power landscape and the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles (EVs) on our roads and within our community, we have observed a need for adaptation at Kings Chelsea.
Recent incidents, including high-profile vehicle fires in car parks like those in Manchester and the most recent one at Luton Airport, have underscored the importance of addressing safety concerns related to vehicles, both traditional and electric. With the introduction of electric vehicles and Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCPs), there is an acknowledged increase in risk to our building. To ensure a suitable risk profile is established and maintained, additional controls are deemed necessary.
Therefore, a review is underway to introduce Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCPs) to the underground car park at Kings Chelsea. This comprehensive appraisal will consider any potential risks associated with the storage, parking, and charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs) using multiple charging points. (320 charging points)
To further enrich this process, a risk review has been commissioned by Kings Chelsea. We value your input and would like to consult with our residents, to understand any concerns or questions you may have regarding this project.
We commit to keeping you updated on the progress of the risk review and consulting with you again once it has been concluded. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we aim to address any potential concerns in a thoughtful and inclusive manner.
Please feel free to share any questions or concerns you might have at residentengagement@kingschelsea.com. Your input is crucial, and we appreciate your active participation in shaping the future developments at Kings Chelsea. Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
K.C. Estate Management Ltd
