EV CHARGING

EV Charge Online permits businesses to operate their own charging network

STATE-OF-THE-ART EV CHARGING SYSTEM FOR BOTH CHARGEPOINT OPERATORS AND EV DRIVERS… Rolec accelerates a promising future for EVs

L ockdown presented significant environmental benefits for the UK and Ireland, with an abrupt decline in traffic on the roads. The dramatic fall in air pollution prompted many individuals and businesses to reconsider their driving habits. Car sales plummeted by 97%, the lowest since 1946, however, pure electric vehicle sales dropped by just 10%, accounting for 32% of overall car sales during that period. Deloitte has also revealed that by 2030, 81% of all global new EVs sold will be pure electric, outperforming their plug-in hybrid peers. For the UK and Ireland, businesses of all shapes and sizes are becoming more invested in operating electrified fleets. This, in part, is a result of the 0% BiK tax rate for EVs. With the increasing level of interest and demand for electric vehicles, there also exists a growing demand for EV charging infrastructure. Company cars not only

require the facilities to charge at workplace premises, but more than often will require the ability to charge at home. The vast majority of electrical contractors have identified this as a growth opportunity, choosing to diversify their portfolio by offering EV charge point installation to their customers. A significant proportion are also completing commercial projects as the appetite for electrification grows.
