BLOG EV Charging Future-proofing your holiday home with electric vehicle charging ​ 12 December 2023 at 11:07:25 More and more holiday homeowners are now offering electric vehicle charging to their visitors and why shouldn’t they? Doing your bit for the environment and purchasing a zero-emission vehicle shouldn’t cause any inconvenience further down the line. Unfortunately, many people are still struggling to find self-catering accommodations that provide the facilities to recharge their vehicles because there are so few. However, now is the perfect time to prepare and install electric vehicle charging stations to your destination as it will allow you to start offering your charging facilities ready for the next holiday season. By installing electric vehicle charging points at your holiday home/cottage, you and your visitors can experience a whole host of features and benefits. You’ll be able to accommodate for all types of visitors, which will attract and encourage many more holidaymakers and UK staycation enthusiasts to stay at your holiday home. Your accommodation will immediately provide EV driving guests with an even more relaxing stay, as well as a peace of mind knowing that they can recharge as and when they need to. They won’t be restricted on how far they can travel to explore while visiting and will be able to leave with a full charge when it’s time to travel home. That eliminates any stress of trying to find the nearest EV charging station in an unfamiliar area, by implementing electric vehicle charging points at your holiday home/cottage alone can provide EV driving guests with an overall positive stay from start to finish. As electric vehicle drivers are always on the look-out for destinations with the facilities to recharge; more than often, electric vehicle drivers will visit a destination more than once if the destination provided EV charging. Installing electric vehicle charging points at your holiday home/cottage could generate a loyal customer base, especially if holiday homes/cottages nearby do not offer the facilities to recharge electric vehicles. The popular, established company “Airbnb” have just recently introduced a filter to their website/ app where you can narrow your search to only show listings that offer electric vehicle charging facilities, this will provide your holiday home/ cottage more exposure to the public, which can lead to an increased footfall, which in turn allows you to generate additional revenue. A common factor that can discourage people from installing an electric charging infrastructure is the costs associated with the purchase and installation of the charging points, but did you know that with the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV grant) you can receive a grant of up to £350 off each socket. With our OZEV grant funded electric vehicle charging points, you can generate additional revenue by setting chargepoint user tariffs. By doing this, your holiday home/ cottage can easily generate additional revenue, whilst also maximising chargepoint return on investment. The environment needs protecting more now than ever before and many people are beginning to opt for “eco-friendly holidays” to reduce their carbon footprint. As a result, many climate-conscious holidaymakers are choosing to holiday in the UK, travelling to and from their desired destinations driving their zero-emissions vehicles. Deploying electric vehicle charging stations at your holiday home/ cottage shows that you’re encouraging environmental change, which could potentially attract eco-friendly holidaymakers.

NEWS EV Charging The QUBEV just got smarter Chloe Sharp 9 March 2023 at 09:18:15 Rolec EV and EV OneStop introduce their latest home-charging solution, the QUBEV Smart Rolec EV, innovative and well-established manufacturer of EV charge points and EV OneStop, specialists in electric vehicle product e-commerce, introduce the QUBEV Smart. New to the EV market this spring. The younger sibling to the popular QUBEV charging solution, the QUBEV Smart hosts an electrifying array of new features. It has been designed in line with the UK government’s Part S regulations and is suitable for any home builder or developer looking to make EV charging a staple. Rolec remains committed to a programme of continuous development, investment, and innovation and we can see just that in the QUBEV Smart. Hosting up to 22kW of charging output with dynamic load balancing and Mode 3 charge protocol. Packed with the latest safety features including security logs and alerts, all encapsulated in an IP54 weatherproof rated enclosure, compactly designed to provide users with a modern and sleek EV charging solution. One of Rolec EV’s most cost-effective, Smart solutions, the QUBEV Smart is also paired with a new Smart Wi-Fi app. Which allows you to schedule charging for when rates are lowest, saving the user money as well as reducing the strain on the grid. As well as an in-built LED charging status indicator and universal untethered charging socket (tethered model also available). James Jarvis, Business Development Manager at Rolec Services, had this to say: “EV charging is on the rise and it’s safe to say that it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. But that isn’t to say that it has always been accessible. Since my first day working with Rolec, we’ve been inundated with requests from everyone, from property developers, property services and contractors for a cost accessible home-charging solution. That not only provides people with a tactile and easy to use interface, but also doesn’t look out of place on a modern housing development. That is where the idea for the QUBEV Smart came to be and for us, it was a no-brainer to contact another expert in-group, EV OneStop. Their hands-on knowledge of the public’s needs gave us an invaluable insight into the market and gave us the opportunity to really create something that works for everyone.’ A game-changer for housing and building developers, the QUBEV Smart is set to make waves in the EV charging space as a fore-runner in Smart and capable charge point design. Fully compliant and accompanied by a brand-new Smart Wi-Fi app. The QUBEV Smart is straight to the point, manageable and easy to install.

BLOG EV Charging Rolec and Monta; Making EV Charging a Whole Lot Better Chloe Sharp 20 November 2023 at 13:55:34 Whatever we can do to make your business’ transition to clean transport easier, we’re on it. We actively engage with our customers to understand their needs and challenges. A recurring concern we’ve noticed is the desire for better integration between EV charging hardware and software. Currently they seem to function independently, but it doesn’t have to be like this, right? Right. As part of our ongoing relationship with EV software provider Monta , we are making life that little bit easier. Tasking ourselves with taking apart every step of EV adoption and either simplifying it or making it better. So, to get things started we went all the way to the beginning. The genesis of the chargepoint, if you will. Quicker, easier and smarter installation: We already manufacture all our chargepoints in the UK at our custom-built factory in Lincolnshire (across the car park from my desk, actually). So, we get a behind-the-scenes look at every single step an EV charger takes before it reaches you. On one of our behind-the-scenes snooping sessions, someone asked the question: ‘what more could we be doing?’ And on that day, history was made… Ok, that’s a little dramatic, but it did kickstart some intense brainstorming for the team. And soon, our brainboxes had come up with a solution; we were able to offer pre-onboarding to Monta. The biggest benefit? For larger projects, the installer would receive an invite to the ‘Installer Job’ on the Monta portal once units were dispatched to them. Where the entire network of chargepoints would be uploaded and waiting. No more manually entering the serial number for each unit, now the installation can be more about installing and less about admin. Cost savings and support if things go wrong: Choosing Rolec and Monta means choosing the most competitive pricing in the industry. Not too shabby right? And this comes paired with Monta’s feature-packed Enterprise Plan, reduced transaction fees and subscription costs – so more of your profit can be converted to revenue, without missing out on the advanced features that make managing your chargepoint smart. If we were to tell you the full list of features you get by pairing up with Rolec and Monta, we’d be here for an age. But we do have time to highlight some of the stars of the show: · 24/7 support via email, chat, or phone, so (as Shakira said) ‘whenever, wherever’ you can reach someone who can help. · Work from home charging - charge at home while you work from home with Monta’s ‘Sponsor a Chargepoint’ feature. All charging expenses can be managed through a shared company wallet, keeping everything accurate and in one place. How convenient. · Smart queue and booking facility – have even more control over your charging network, schedule charging for your fleet vehicles, reserve chargepoints for those that need more power and manage your vehicles all through Monta. · Dynamic and scheduled pricing tariffs – lately, the cost of electricity seems to change minute by minute and so do our energy needs. Monta’s platform lets you take advantage of fully flexible pricing; set charging pricing based on the hour-by-hour price of electricity and schedule pricing to change during set hours.

BLOG EV Charging Powering St. Modwen for a Greener Future Chloe Sharp 12 December 2023 at 15:39:37 A hands on approach As one of the longest standing EV chargepoint manufacturers in the UK, we have cultivated an extensive repertoire of projects globally. Working alongside not only developers like St Modwens but also those of Skanska, KIER, Goodman, Balfour Beatty, and more. Which has meant developing an adaptive approach to electric vehicle hardware that best meets the needs of businesses and developers. And for us, this starts with unit design. By prioritising British manufacturing and developing a team of dedicated research and development engineers, we have our hand in all aspects of product testing and design. Constantly adapting our chargepoints to meet the needs of different industries and building designs. Diverse product range Units are divided into two groups: pedestals and wall-mounted units. Each of which has benefits for different use cases. Pedestals, for example, are optimal for shared locations, like workspaces and residential estates. They are designed to optimise available floor space by charging up to 4 cars simultaneously, have increased visibility thanks to their LED amenity lighting and eye-catching design. On the other side of the coin, wall-mounted chargers (like our SecuriCharge unit) are the optimal choice for locations with less available floor space, such as underground car parks. Something that can also be a major consideration when installing hardware in more confined spaces. Increasingly more important following the introduction of Part S, all major new developments need to designate a minimum of 20% EV parking (with charging) for visitors to the site. Something that can provide a unique set of challenges. Our 15 years of industry experience has perfectly positioned us to advise you through this process, from project conception to installation, and ongoing support. Support every step of the way Our team of specialist support staff, dedicated account managers and residential chargepoint experts are poised to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about the future of charging at your development or business. As such, we offer CPD-Accredited support that includes industry insights, statistics, trends, updates to regulations, and the latest product developments related to our EV charging solutions. We understand the importance of preparing you with all the information before embarking on your project, which is why we also provide BIM & CAD packages, to make it easier to visualise chargepoints in your design, before even breaking ground. Combined with our sophisticated hardware designs, when your project does begin, the installation process will be as quick and seamless as possible. Our units are designed with completely removable front panels, to provide ample access to their internal hardware, to make installation and maintenance easier. And we work alongside smart back-office software providers to ensure users and operators have access to smart features that enhance the charging experience. Supported by smart hardware, like RFID cards and MID-approved metering for accuracy of monitoring and billing. Keeping it green Despite Rishi Sunak’s disappointing pulling away from the UK’s ambitious net zero aims, sustainable transport has continued to be an industry that has sustained growth thanks, in majority, to the fleet and logistics sectors. The prime minister’s announcement seems to have had no impact on the public’s desire for environmental change and businesses continue to champion electric vehicles as the future for their fleets. We, as a company, have set ourselves our own environmental aims: reducing waste by transitioning to 100% recyclable packing. Something that has already turned heads in the industry, being awarded commendations at the most recent UK Packaging Awards. Convenience is key A recent BVRLA report showed that nearly half of the company cars delivered in the first three months of this year were battery electric vehicles. And this growing appetite among fleets has also had an impact on charging behaviour. We have been seeing an increased demand for fleet DC charging, as operators want to reduce the time vehicles remain idle. In response to this we have remained a reliable source of DC hardware, providing scalable solutions with short lead times to support a speedy transition to green travel. All of which are easy to install, maintain and come with the full Rolec support package. Rolec EV remains one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of smart OCPP compliant AC fast and DC rapid chargers. Our extensive stock holding enables us to offer next-day delivery across our AC range and just 3-5 day delivery on the DC range of stocked chargers.
