Vulcan EV Charging Point, which is designed to charge electric vehicles from a temporary power source and is housed in a high visibility IP54 enclosure. Up to six charging points can be connected in-line and powered from a single 63A three-phase supply or twelve charging points in “low power mode.” The Vulcan EV Charging
Point can be configured to select any phase, and can be set to provide 32A charging or 16A charging if the power is limited. The outputs are fully
compliant with European Type 2 charging systems found on the road today and a connection can be made to a vehicle in less than a minute. The first ever EV charging
station will be set up at the 2018 Showmans Show in October where users will be able to charge their electric vehicles using the ide Vulcan EV Charging Points. The Vulcan EV Charging
Points are now available to hire from any of ide’s three Rental Centres across the UK and can be purchased from the ide Manufacturing Centre in the Midlands. To find out more about ide Systems’ range of EV Charging points, please email
