Case Study: The Treviso at The Colony builds future-proof EV charging with SWTCH

The journey of a Florida condo owner in building a future-proof EV charging system

The Treviso at The Colony, a Florida condominium, faced the challenge of installing a future-proof EV charging system for its residents without overloading its existing electrical infrastructure. They needed a solution that would allow for a premium owner experience and the potential to scale to over 80 chargers. To solve the complex issue of load management, they partnered with SWTCH to utilize their SWTCH Control cloud-based load management software.

SWTCH provided a sophisticated, multi-phase strategy to leverage the building's spare electrical capacity. The solution began with a successful pilot of their load management technology, paving the way for a planned rollout to eventually support 81 chargers. This approach, which divides the garage into sections with sub-panels managed by SWTCH, guarantees a minimum amperage for each user. The condo board estimates the project cost at $150,000, a significant savings over individual retrofits, and with 47% of owners considering an EV purchase, the SWTCH solution provides critical future-ready infrastructure and enhances property value.
