Solving underground power challenges in EV charging: Fibrelite in MobilityPlaza

The below extract from MobilityPlaza’s latest article discusses how Fibrelite meets the demands of the fast-growing EV sector with modular, accessible underground trench access systems.

“The electric vehicle (EV) charging sector in France is experiencing rapid growth, which is placing new demands on infrastructure design and adaptability. A particularly critical issue lies in managing the underground power systems—now larger and more complex due to the rising power output of modern charging equipment. Enter Fibrelite’s FRP GRP composite trench covers, a lightweight yet heavy-duty solution rising to meet the evolving needs of this high-voltage transformation.

As the power of individual chargers increases, the diameter and stiffness of corresponding underground cables is also expanding. These cables are not only difficult to maneuver manoeuvre  into traditional ducts, but the intense heat and electromagnetic disturbances generated by the current they carry demands greater separation between them when buried. Burying such infrastructure in inaccessible ducts would make future inspections or upgrades nearly impossible.’’
