NEWS EV Charging New Building Regulations Set to Make EV Chargers a Part of the Furniture Chloe Sharp 16 February 2023 at 09:21:25 Why is the government introducing these regulations? It is not new to suggest that more needs to be done to tackle the current climate emergency. The push for rapid decarbonisation can be felt throughout the UK and expands far into the world. Something that many national leaders are trying to tackle through the execution of legislative and regulatory changes. One of the newest to be implemented in the UK being the Part S regulation. This new regulation specifically aims to tackle the problem of electric vehicle infrastructure we currently have in the UK. Highlighted as one of the greatest problems facing the adoption of electric vehicles, many people have stated increased range anxiety and the inaccessibility of EV charge points as one of their main deterrents against taking the plunge into emission-free transport. What does this mean for residential property developers? To ease some of these fears, the Part S regulation makes it mandatory for all new build properties to provide an electric vehicle (EV) charge point for potential residents. It also applies to residential properties undergoing major renovations (that will have more than 10 parking spaces upon completion). Tasking developers to deliver at least one EV charge point per residence as well as the supporting infrastructure to sustain the installation of future charge points . Installing cable routes to all remaining spaces. In terms of how successful this is in achieving its aims, it is definitely set to increase the accessibility of EV chargers domestically. And measures have been taken to future-proof these developments via cable installation. Hopefully encouraging an uptake in purchases of new electric vehicles. But, since 80% of EV owners already charge their cars at home over night, what does this mean for the day? Regulations for new non-residential properties. This brings us to the provisions for non-residential buildings . Like those above, if the building is set to have more than 10 parking spaces , one space must have access to an EV charge point . Cable routes also need to be installed in a minimum of 20% of remaining spaces . If the parking spaces are in a covered garage, consider uncovered spaces first or (if all are covered) cable routes must be installed in 1/5 of spaces. In terms of buildings undergoing renovations, cost of installing charge points and cable routes should not equal more than 7% of the cost of the total renovation . The addition of this provision is promising as it sets in motion the groundwork for expansion. As well as aiming to tackle the problem faced by many current and prospective EV drivers, of the public lack of infrastructure. Whether this is enough to convince people to make the switch is yet to be seen but hopefully by dipping their toes into the world of EV charging, businesses will be encouraged to join the pledge for a greener future.

BLOG EV Charging Everything You Need to Know About The Most Affordable EV Charging Solution in the UK Chloe Sharp 15 March 2023 at 08:49:11 Residential EV infrastructure has been a huge conversation point the last few years. And the Government’s Part S regulations have only worked to further cement this concept. Making it compulsory for all new build properties (with off-street parking) to provide an EV charge point for future residents. As well as introducing a set of minimum standards for all new charge points. The aim, of course, being to make EVs more accessible and create infrastructure to support the switch to fully electric by 2030. Since the launch of our QUBEV domestic EV charging unit in 2019, the technology behind electric vehicle chargers has only continued to advance. With new developments being introduced left, right and centre. In this spirit of innovation, we’ve been working behind the scenes to create our new, upgraded, home-charging solution: The QUBEV Smart. Now with even more power, better functionality, and solar compatibility (app dependent), with the same focus on affordability and compact design. The UK Government’s introduction of Part S regulations for EV charging infrastructure means a sleek, modern, and fully compliant charging solution was sorely needed within the industry. The QUBEV Smart includes all of the features our customers loved from the QUBEV, including a universal charging socket, built-in LED charging indicator and adjustable charging rating. As well as a host of new additions. Need charge in a pinch? The QUBEV Smart’s power output has now been expanded to include both a 7.4kW and a huge 22kW offering (available as both tethered and untethered models). Giving you access to even more power at your fingertips. Unique to the QUBEV Smart is it's free Smart Wi-Fi app. Opening up a range of opportunities for you to engage with your EV charger. Such as, scheduling charges to power up your vehicle during off-peak hours (utilising the most cost-effective tariffs), viewing your charging status and monitoring your unit's electricity usage. As well as a whole host of other charge-management features. All in one easy-to-use, responsive app. The QUBEV Smart is also compatible with all PEVs and EVs on the market currently, so charging can be as simple as plug and go. We wanted the QUBEV Smart to be as accessible as possible, as such, it is also fully OCPP 1.6 compliant via ethernet connection. So it can be used with which ever compatible back-office software best suits your needs (such as Rolec’s VendElectric and other trusted third-party partners like Monta). And we haven’t just thought about software, QUBEV Smart’s dynamic load balancing feature enables the unit with the technology to balance electrical usage and protect your property’s fuse, without disrupting your electrical supply. This unit has been created and installed in compliance with regulations highlighted in BS EN IEC 61851-1 as well as the latest UK Smart Charge Points Regulations, including security logs and alerts. Encased in an IP65 weatherproof rated, durable ABS and Polycarbonate enclosure, withstanding temperatures of as low as -25 degrees Celsius and up to a maximum of 50 degrees Celsius. Making it the optimal choice for housing developers looking to fulfil government requirements for an electric vehicle charge point that will be both durable and affordable. As well as being easy to install and maintain thanks to our incredible team of partnered installers and knowledgeable technical team.

BLOG EV Charging 5 Ways Monta Can Help you EV Better Chloe Sharp 20 November 2023 at 13:58:22 To support our partnership with Monta, we wanted to introduce you to some of the key features they offer to help manage your new (or old) EV charge points. On top of being the leading choice for charger management, Monta have a MONTAin of features. Ranging from security and compliance to more bespoke management solutions like smart queue and car integration. In fact, they have so many features that we really struggled to narrow them down for this blog. So, if you’ve just introduced EV charging to your business, or if you’re looking to teach an old charger new tricks, have a read and see what your charger has to offer you. 1. Smart Booking Imagine this: you’re on your way home from a work trip, it’s been a long day and you want to get home before the school-run in the morning, but your battery warning light starts flashing. Frantically, you get your friend to look for the nearest charge point, you think you’re going to make it but you’re cutting it tight. Finally, after playing chicken with your mileage, you make it to the charger only to find out someone else is already using it! Wouldn’t it be nice if you could’ve planned for this exact scenario? (I think you know where we’re going with this.) With Monta you can. Book a charger in advance and soothe your charging anxiety. 2. Roaming Petrol companies wouldn’t say no to advertising themselves at every opportunity, so why do we seem to do this with EV charging? Electric vehicle charge points can be a great way to generate passive income for businesses of all sizes, but this job is made a lot harder when people don’t even know how to find you. Monta doesn’t gatekeep access to EV charging. Their roaming feature puts your charge point on the map, literally, making it visible across platforms and apps so that it’s even easier to find a charger. This is an optional feature. 3. Smart Queuing In truly British fashion for a Danish company, Monta has also managed to revolutionise queueing. Offering an intelligent system which allocates electric vehicles to charge points as and when they become available. No more patrolling up and down a car park waiting for a charger to free up, you can join the waiting list for a site, check out your estimated wait time, and get notified when your spot opens up. How very civilised. 4. Car Integration Personally, car integration sounds a little bit like a scientific trial of car-human hybrid technology. Maybe. Or if you’ve spent considerably less time watching sci-fi movies than me, you might have gathered that car integration has more to do with chargepoint management than babies with windscreen wipers. Connect your car and get live updates on your charge percentage via the Monta app. Whether you’re plugged in via a charging cable or already charging. 5. Sponsored Charge Point Companies are becoming a lot more flexible about where people choose to do their job and working from home seems to have become a permanent part of our vocabulary. But when the office no longer becomes the place to be, it can be harder for companies to reimburse employees for the mileage (or charging) of their company vehicles. With the help of Monta, car chargers, like companies, are no longer limited by the office. Employees can charge their electric vehicles at home using their company account by using the sponsored charge point feature. The best part? Monta creates a single monthly bookkeeping item for at-home charging expenses. Make sure to select your company vehicle when you start the charge!
