Chargemaster has launched a new workplace charger as it reports increased demand from businesses looking to accommodate charging solutions.

Chargemaster targets fleets with new Powercharge unit

Dubbed Powercharge, the new unit offers an open access solution with no keys or RFID cards required, as well as catering for universal charging requirements thanks to the two standard Type 2 charging sockets, enabling use by all electric cars and vans on the market today. The Powercharge unit is available in 7kW (30A) specification as standard, with 3.6kW (16A) available as an option for facilities without 7kW capabilities. Both specifications use a single-phase 230-volt AC electricity supply, which means in most cases no further upgrades are needed.

The unit can be installed by a qualified electrician and comes in wall-mounted or floor-standing formats with a footprint of 220mm wide by 120mm deep and a height of either 830mm respectively.

Other features include overload protection and electric current management software.

Prices start from £795 +VAT.
