Shield Selects Sync Energy As It Switches To Electric
When specialist technical contractor, Shield committed to transforming its
knowing that the van fleet was also planned -
fleet of company cars to electrical – and it decided to
install a comprehensive EV charging facility at its new head office in Bristol. Working with Sync Energy, part of the Luceco Group, the company opted for Sync Energy Pro Charger Twin Wall Mounted EV Chargers as being the best commercial EV charging solution for the increasing volume of use.
As Edward Vill, Electrical Operations Manager, Shield Mechanical Electrical & Facilities Services explained, “We already had single chargers but the ongoing move to electric, combined with increasing demand from visitors to the site meant that when we moved to new premises, a better and bigger solution was not only needed but with Sync Energy it was possible and practical.”
Twin Charger, WC2’s And Load Balancer
With twin Type 2 socket outlets, a backlit intuitive colour touchscreen, and built in 4G connectivity, MCB and MID metres as standard, the
Sync Energy
supports Monta QR code, RFID, Plug and Charge, and if required.
Payment Terminal
The Pro Charger range features Twin Bollard EV Chargers, available with or without amenity lighting option, and Twin Wall-mounted
Chargers. Both the wall-
mounted and bollard options come with PEN fault detection, touchscreen, RFID, 4G connectivity, and an MID meter as standard. This comprehensive suite of features ensures that our chargers are not only user-friendly but also future proof, catering to a wide array of commercial applications.
Pro Charger Charging,
The unique Balancer enables link up to 16 charge points dynamically to the building supply, ensuring no overload of circuits, protecting assets with a Stainless-Steel Crash barrier. The Sync EV Balancer is designed to ensure that the electricity supply is not exceeded by EV Charging.
When it comes to EV chargers, there is no allowance for diversity, so a 32A charger needs to always use 32A. When 2,3,4 chargers are added this soon adds up, which is where the Sync EV balancer comes in. The balancer is a hardwired system for reliability and requires no subscription, its scalable for up to 16 charge points (16 duals gives you 32 charging bays), and it dynamically manages the available building power, distributing it evenly between the connected vehicles. Available in both single-phase up to 120A and three-phase up to 400A.
Edward continued, “Over and above the technical spec, we also
liked the sleek look
of the system and its user-friendly nature. We currently have key fobs open to all.”
Sarah Cox, Sync Energy’s Business
Development Manager described the project. “Sync Energy’s service covers all the bases. We started with a site visit, assessment of needs, calculations on loading, before quoting and supplying with the help of Sync Energy distributor, Medlocks of Bristol. Sync Energy then supported both the install and commissioning. It was a real pleasure collaborating with Shield Electrical on its exciting new site. Together, we delivered sleek, user-friendly wall chargers that made it simple for them to power up their electric vehicles. It’s great to see sustainability in action, and I’m looking forward to continuing
our support for Shield as well as enabling more forward-thinking projects like this in the future.”
