ALSO ON DISPLAY, EV INSTALLATIONS AND SOLAR HIGHWAY CHARGING SOLUTIONS
Councils need to understand and address our trade’s charging requirements if they want our drivers to make the change to EV.
Investment in a better EV charging infrastructure and grants given to help drivers install home chargers is paramount.
MAY 2022 RAPID CHARGING
Many drivers do not have access to a driveway to install a home charger. So, some councils are installing rapid charg- ing car parks within an eight-mile radius of peoples’ homes BUT most EV manufactures have safe-guarded their prod- ucts to only rapid charge up to 80% then the onboard charger will down power to 7kw increasing a 20-100% rapid charge time to 2 hours 50 mins on average. This is not ideal, as taxi drivers will be forced to only charge 80%. However, if EVs do not get their batteries balanced to 100% at least four times a week then the life expectancies of the battery cell could fail in time or fail to prolong maximum battery life.
NO DRIVEWAY TO CHARGE YOU VEHICLE? – NEW SOLUTION
In order to address this issue Car n Cab has designed a charg- ing solution that can be used outside houses with no driveway. Drivers can now fully charge their electric taxi at home or at least balance the battery from a granny charger plug, just like charging a plug-in hybrid vehicle.
This new solution is called ACO Charging Solutions and will be demonstrated at the PHTM EXPO.
Car n Cab Care has designed and fabricated lockable charg- ing posts and the ACO Charging Solution. This is an extremely simple to fit solution which can run two charging cables to a storage pod for when two vehicles return home, so two homes can share this pod for any charging device. All cables are protected in an ACO deep flow drain with two levels, the upper being the cable housing point and the lower allowing rainwater to flow through a tube in the pod that allows water and cables to then be low level away from the highways and alongside the kerb and into the car. This pro- tects the vehicles from being damaged and people tripping over cables.
SOLAR PANELS
The UK is going full electric. However, it is clear that if every- one had 100% EVs at home the grid will not have enough power to supply homes at peak times. This is why solar and battery solutions will be required in the near future to take power off peak and charge batteries to then power day to day requirements. Ten solar panels on our homes could actually 100% power cars or power your homes, taking away unwanted electric costs, making our One Stop Shop even bigger; EV charger installations, battery storage and solar options.
