Abstract

A rapidly deployable electric vehicle (EV) charging station and components thereof are disclosed herein. The rapidly deployable electric vehicle charging station is connected to a distribution point on an electrical grid. In one embodiment, the rapidly deployable electric vehicle charging station includes an elevated platform having a top surface and a bottom surface and opposing sides, and at least one beam spanning between the opposing sides and affixed to the bottom surface of the platform. The rapidly deployable electric vehicle charging station includes an electric vehicle charging dispenser coupled to the top surface of the elevated platform. A plurality of cable blocks spanning between the platform and the electrical distribution point, wherein the cable blocks house electrical cabling extending from the electrical distribution point to the electric vehicle charging dispenser.

Claims (30)

1. A deployable electric vehicle charging station coupled to an electrical distribution point on an electrical grid, comprising:

an elevated platform having a top surface and a bottom surface and opposing sides; and at least one beam spanning between the opposing sides and affixed to the bottom surface of the platform;

an electric vehicle charging dispenser coupled to the top surface of the elevated platform; and

a plurality of cable blocks spanning between the platform and the electrical distribution point, wherein the cable blocks house electrical cabling extending from the electrical distribution point to the electric vehicle charging dispenser.

2. The charging station of claim 1 , wherein the elevated platform further comprises an opening on the top surface.

3. The charging station of claim 1 , wherein the elevated platform further comprises at least one side panel attached to a perimeter of the platform.

4. The charging station of claim 3 , wherein the side panels are detachable from the platform.

5. The charging station of claim 1 , wherein the elevated platform further includes a bottom plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface of the bottom plate is affixed to the at least one beam.

6. The charging station of claim 1 , wherein the elevated platform further comprises one or more protective bollards in spaced relation about the top surface.

7. The charging station of claim 1 , wherein the cable box comprises:

an elongated main body having a top, bottom, and opposing sides;

a main channel running lengthwise along the elongated main body; and

a cover attachable to the top of the main body.

8. A portable platform for a deployable electric vehicle charging station, comprising:

a top plate having a top surface, bottom surface, and opposing sides, wherein the top plate sized to receive at least one electrical component for charging an electric vehicle;

at first beam affixed to the bottom surface of the top plate;

a second beam affixed to the bottom surface of the top plate, wherein the first and second beam are in spaced relation to one another; and

at least one side panel attached to the perimeter of the platform, wherein the at least one side panel is detachable from the platform.

9. The portable platform of claim 8 , further comprising an opening on the top surface.

10. The portable platform of claim 8 , further comprising a bottom plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface of the bottom plate is affixed to the first and second beams.

11. The portable platform of claim 8 , further comprises one or more protective bollards in spaced relation about the top surface of the top plate.

12. A portable platform for a deployable electric vehicle charging station, comprising:

a top plate having a top surface, bottom surface, and opposing sides, wherein the top plate sized to receive at least one electrical component for charging an electric vehicle;

at first beam affixed to the bottom surface of the top plate;

a second beam affixed to the bottom surface of the top plate, wherein the first and second beam are in spaced relation to one another; and

an opening on the top surface.

13. The portable platform of claim 12 , further comprising at least one side panel attached to the perimeter of the platform.

14. The portable platform of claim 13 , wherein the at least one side panel is detachable from the platform.

15. The portable platform of claim 12 , further comprising a bottom plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface of the bottom plate is affixed to the first and second beams.

16. The portable platform of claim 12 , further comprising one or more protective bollards in spaced relation about the top surface of the top plate.
