Speak to an expert Don't just take our word for it, see what our clients say I’ve been working with Rolec for some time now, and the level of customer service has been outstanding. Rolec’s attention to detail has been nothing short of fantastic. I also appreciate the call to my MD, who asked me to pass on his thanks and share how highly he rates your service. We’ll be looking at acquiring an additional 20-30 units and would love for you to be involved. Rolec should truly be commended! Ryan M Rolec’s customer service has been fantastic. When I first reached out about five chargers, with the potential for more in the future, Becky was brilliant. She provided detailed and accurate information about my requirements, was quick to respond to my many emails, and patiently worked through versions of my personalised designs while we made our decision. I’m very happy to place an order for several Rolec EV chargers! Alistair Burrowes Working with Rolec has been seamless from proposal stage through to project management and implementation. Installing fast EV chargers supports Farnborough International’s sustainability goals, encouraging eco-friendly transport and providing a first-class experience for EV users. In just the first three days, 84 vehicles charged, generating £666 in revenue. We’re proud to partner with Rolec in driving sustainable innovation. Carlo Zoccali How we helped Meadowhall boost customer spending with EV charging Meadowhall, a leading shopping and leisure destination, installed over 50 ROLEC QUANTUM EV charging points. Initially free-to-use, these QUANTUM pedestals transitioned to a pay-to-charge model, also providing amenity lighting for car parks, including accessible and family spaces. Integrated with a chargepoint management system, Meadowhall now manages its network, adjusting tariffs based on energy costs, and benefitting from new revenue streams. We identified that longer customer dwell times lead to increased spending. By recommending AC superfast chargers, Meadowhall successfully increased the time customers spent on-site and boosted shopping activity, all while offering a seamless, reliable charging experience.

Dynamic load management Accessing advanced features including dynamic load management (DLM) will help eliminate the need for expensive electrical upgrades when installing multiple EV chargers. Avoids overloading DLM limits the amount of electricity each charger uses, preventing the electrical grid from becoming overloaded. Reduces upfront costs DLM operates in the cloud via the CPMS, so there's no need for physical wiring between chargers. This reduces the need for extra infrastructure and installation costs. Scales without constraints DLM ensures that the site's power limit isn't exceeded, even when more chargers are added. This allows for the expansion of charging infrastructure without needing to upgrade the electricity connection. Priority charging Allocated power can be distributed evenly across all chargers, or you can set priority chargers. For example, you may wish to prioritise designated chargers for your fleet to minimise vehicle downtime. DLM is especially useful for locations with limited site power capacity and multiple chargers. 24/7 Driver Support 24/7 helpline for users of your charging points, making it easy for you to deliver a reliable EV charging experience. Speak to an expert Frequently asked questions Can I restrict who can use our commercial EV chargepoints? Yes, you can restrict access to your commercial EV chargepoints. There are several ways to manage and control who can use them: Private vs. Public Access You can make your chargepoints either private (restricted to certain users) or public (available for any EV driver to use). Visibility on Chargepoint Maps You can choose whether or not your chargepoints appear on public maps, controlling their visibility to potential users. Time-of-Day Access You can set specific hours when the chargepoints are available, such as limiting usage to off-peak times or outside your operating hours. Authentication Methods Charging can be activated using various methods like app, RFID, or contactless payment, which gives you control over who can access the chargers. This flexibility allows you to optimise your charging infrastructure for both customer convenience and revenue generation. Receive a free consultation today. No pressure, just expert advice. Can I install EV chargers if my property has a limited power supply? Yes, dynamic load management (DLM) considers the building’s electrical supply and demand, dynamically adjusting the chargepoints as needed to optimise performance and efficiency. This reduces overall energy costs and helps eliminate the need for expensive electrical upgrades when installing multiple EV chargers. Chat to our team for a free consultation and get clarity on the best solution for your business. What is OCPP and why is it important for EV charging? OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is a universal communication standard that allows EV charging stations and their management systems to interact seamlessly, regardless of brand or manufacturer. It ensures: Interoperability Different charging station brands can work with various software platforms. Flexibility Businesses can switch to different software providers without replacing hardware. As the demand for compatibility with various back-office solutions continues to grow, chargers must offer versatility in configuration to integrate effortlessly with any platform. Scalability Easily add more chargers or integrate with new systems as your network grows. Cost-Effectiveness Reduces reliance on proprietary systems, offering more options and competitive pricing. At Rolec, we’re ahead of the curve with true native OCPP as a standard feature. Our futureproof EV hardware is designed to adapt to any software, facilitating smooth onboarding to the customer's chosen provider. The chargers are fully controlled by the connected back-office, allowing unfiltered, direct communication and full compliance without any interruptions. Unlike many hardware offerings that rely on cloud-to-cloud connections, Rolec chargers communicate directly with the back-office platform. This means faster, more reliable communication and greater flexibility for operators without third-party dependencies. By eliminating extra cloud layers, often the root cause of outages, we reduce a significant potential weak link and the risk of downtime for the charging network. OCPP is now an internationally recognised standard, IEC 63584. Our team of experts are on hand to help your business grow, chat with us today. How do I maximise the return on investment from my chargers? To maximise ROI from your EV chargers, consider these strategies: Offer Easy Payment Methods Implement payment systems that are easy to use, such as contactless or app-based solutions, to attract more drivers. Optimise Usage with Dynamic Load Management (DLM) Use DLM to distribute available power efficiently, allowing more vehicles to charge without overloading your available supply or incurring high electricity costs. Set Competitive Pricing Balance affordability for users with competitive rates that cover costs and generate revenue, whilst ensuring your chargers are favourable. Promote Your Charging Stations Advertise your chargers through EV-specific apps, maps, or local signage to increase visibility and attract drivers. Don’t forget to add EV charging as an available amenity to your business profile on Google and Bing.

  • Rolec and Sinexcel partner up to bring affordable DC charging to the UK

    Rolec and Sinexcel partner up to bring affordable DC charging to the UK NEWS EV Charging Rolec and Sinexcel partner up to bring affordable DC charging to the UK 12 December 2023 at 11:08:16 One of Europe’s leading electric vehicle chargepoint manufacturers, Rolec EV, has announced its partnership agreement with Sinexcel, a global electric technology company. The partnership will introduce a new range of cost-effective DC rapid EV charging stations offering speeds from 60kW through to 480kW to support both the future of electrified transport and the nations net zero plans. Rolec EV already offers the UK’s largest range of AC fast and DC rapid charging points and these latest additions will be the most price competitive in the industry. The UltraCharge 160 is the first of three models to be introduced and to ensure suitability to the UK market, intensive testing was carried out at Rolec’s HQ in Lincolnshire for over six months. Having passed with complex testing and compliance procedures, Rolec are now able to confidently charge ahead with deliveries from February 2023. The modular and scalable ultra-rapid charging station can be upgraded in modules of 20kW, all the way up to 160kW, making it the perfect future-proof and cost-effective solution for public, fleet and highway infrastructure deployment. Offering convenient charging times for every electric vehicle on the market, the UltraCharge 160’s intelligent dynamic power balancing feature enables two vehicles to charge simultaneously and can be activated via either mobile app, RFID, Apple Pay, Google Pay or contactless card payment as well as conforming to the ISO 15118 Plug & Charge standard. It is Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 1.6 compliant, which provides businesses with the freedom to integrate with any chosen chargepoint management system in the world. Chargepoint operators are then able to set their own tariffs, monitor utilisation and assess the performance of the unit as and when they wish. Installers will be pleased to know the UltraCharge 160 is easy to install, maintain and full support will be offered by both, Rolec and Sinexcel’s technical teams. Frankie Mellon, Rolec’s Sales Director commented: “I am delighted to have formed a strategic partnership with Sinexcel, from the initial discussion Rolec felt we had found a partner who shared the same goals as our own, to excel in customer service, product development and to have a wide product range for all applications at a very cost-effective price point. We installed the first UltraCharge 160 at our HQ some 6 months ago now and since that point we have worked extremely closely with Sinexcel to further develop the product to meet the requirements of the UK market, integrating with cars, lorries, buses, and to identify features we wished to include as standard for our clients, such as a contactless payment terminal and long reach cables. With many workplaces now requiring a DC & AC charging solutions to support fleet, visitor, and employee charging, it is imperative that we can quote and deliver a reliable product with a short lead time to include within our proposal. The modular approach of Sinexcel has enabled Rolec to hold UK stock of 60/80/120/160kW models, offering next day delivery to our UK customers. With a 160kW unit retailing at £25,000 we know this product is going to be very well received by the industry!” Charles Meng, Sinexcel’s Country Director commented: “We see the partnership with Rolec as a mutual achievement of our vision for each other. It's not just a normal partnership, it's more like entering a formal relationship, like a marriage. After getting to know each other better, we share the same goals together. Sinexcel saw Rolec's passion for "zero emissions". The team is professional, precise, efficient and always surprises us, Rolec's record in EV is amazing, with a deep knowledge of the EV Charging business and always brings us new inspiration. The Sinexcel and Rolec EV teams met in Boston to formally confirm what we had in mind for each other. Together, we will move forward to a new chapter. We are proud to have such great partners. We are confident that working with Rolec will bring a lot of new changes to the EV Charging business in the UK/Europe.” To learn more about the UltraCharge 160 , please click here PREVIOUS NEXT Related Posts One Charger, Two Outlets, Unlimited Style New Smart Charge Point Regulations OZEV grant funding changes explained
