This collaboration sets a benchmark for innovation in the industry. By integrating Rolec’s market-leading LoRaWAN hardware with Metpow’s innovative software, they’ve created an advanced system designed to simplify guest management and enable automated utility solutions, redefining how marinas and park site services are managed and optimised. A New Era Rolec powered by Metpow gives marina managers and holiday/caravan park operators full control over electricity and water usage, reducing costs and improving efficiency. Guests and residents can easily track and pay for their consumption via the Metpow app, ensuring transparency and convenience for all. This streamlined management not only enhances business operations but also supports environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. Rolec’s robust and reliable hardware, complemented by Metpow’s advanced software capabilities, provides operators with a comprehensive solution to monitor and manage utility consumption remotely from any device. How It Works The system provides marina/park operators with a powerful, all-in-one platform that enables: Automated metering & billing – Guests pay only for what they use via the Metpow app, reducing admin for operators. The system is fully MID-compliant, ensuring accurate, legally approved energy metering. Remote monitoring & real-time alerts – Operators can track consumption and receive instant notifications about unusual usage, including 24/7 health monitoring for breaker trips and system faults. Usage limits & efficiency controls – Operators can set thresholds to encourage responsible resource use, helping reduce overall consumption and optimise operations. Wireless connectivity without Wi-Fi or 4G – Constant, reliable performance in remote or challenging environments. Simple installation & scalability – The system is designed for easy installation. Scalable across single parks to multi-site operations, it grows with your business. Revenue recovery through service charges – The solution allows operators to incorporate a service charge for CAPEX recovery, ensuring compliance with OFGEM regulations. A Focus on Sustainability The integrated Rolec-Metpow solution is set to launch in March 2025, with pilot installations and operator training underway now. Further developments this year include platform enhancements and additional sustainability-focused features, such as carbon offset tracking, scheduled for future releases. Speaking on the partnership, Ed Jones, CEO & Co-Founder of Metpow, commented: "This partnership represents an exciting opportunity to bring cutting-edge wireless utility management to the marine and leisure industries.

Everything You Need to Know About The Most Affordable EV Charging Solution in the UK BLOG EV Charging Everything You Need to Know About The Most Affordable EV Charging Solution in the UK Chloe Sharp 6 January 2026 at 12:50:07 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.

£100M Debt Financing Facility Drives Go Zero and Rolec’s Mission Towards Nationwide Destination Charging NEWS EV Charging £100M Debt Financing Facility Drives Go Zero and Rolec’s Mission Towards Nationwide Destination Charging 6 January 2026 at 12:50:07 Rolec and Go Zero are joining forces on a mission to accelerate the deployment of EV infrastructure across the UK’s hospitality sector, providing leisure destinations and hotels with reliable and scalable charging solutions. With a £100M debt financing facility secured by Go Zero, this partnership has the financial strength to roll out multi-bay EV hubs at scale through Go Zero’s VendEx model, removing large upfront capital expenditure for businesses. 90% of EV drivers prefer destinations with chargepoints, but only six per cent of city hotels in the UK currently offer EV charging. More than 1.3 million electric vehicles are already on UK roads, and close to 40 per cent of new car registrations at the end of last year were plug-in models. EV drivers are no longer a niche group, they are business commuters, families, and international visitors, and increasingly, they expect to plug in as easily as they connect to Wi-Fi when they arrive at a hotel. Yet destinations remain underserved, highlighting a clear gap in the market and a substantial opportunity for those eager to act now. With Go Zero and Rolec working together, financial barriers are removed, enabling businesses to implement charging infrastructure quickly and efficiently while generating recurring revenue. Go Zero provides sector expertise, local engagement with national coverage, and a strong focus on guest-friendly solutions, ensuring every installation is practical, seamless, and aligned with business goals. Go Zero’s ownership of its CPO software aligns seamlessly with Rolec’s strategic direction for its hardware and software roadmap. Rolec further complements this with UK-based manufacturing, technical support, and a national partner network, enabling simultaneous installation and management across sites, backed by a proven range of AC and DC hardware. This combination ensures that caravan parks, holiday parks, theme parks, hotels, resorts, shopping centres, sports stadiums, and other destination sites can implement public EV infrastructure confidently and as a priority. Projects have already been completed, with many more booked over the coming months. Speaking on the partnership, Andy Taylor, CEO of Go Zero, said: ‘Securing this £100M debt facility is a strong vote of confidence in Go Zero’s strategy and growth prospects within hospitality. With funding in place, we can fully deliver our current project pipeline, expand rapidly across key hotel locations, and continue providing scalable, guest-friendly charging solutions. Partnering with Rolec for hardware supply ensures faster installation, multi-bay EV hubs, and a bigger national footprint, bringing our vision of 10,000 sockets closer to reality.’ Darren North, National Sales Manager at Rolec, added: 'Destination charging isn’t yet where it should be, and this partnership represents a significant step toward addressing that gap. By combining Go Zero’s funding expertise with Rolec’s UK-manufactured hardware, technical capability, and nationwide installer network, we are enabling businesses to introduce EV charging with no upfront cost. The benefits extend beyond sustainability, charging infrastructure boosts visits, longer dwell times, and higher local spend, while also supporting operators in achieving their net zero goals. Together, we are building a future-proof network that serves drivers, businesses, and communities across the UK.'

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.
