Hartlepool furniture group upgrades its EV charging units
When The Optimum Group, a specialist commercial furniture manufacturer with a purpose-built showroom and factory space in Hartlepool, needed to upgrade its previous EV charging units to accommodate more vehicles, it turned to BG Sync EV to provide the flexibility it needed.
After an endorsement from its business vehicle leasing company, the group chose North East EV charging specialists, Get Charging, to recommend and install the most suitable EV chargers for the company.
Mike Pearson, Director of The Optimum Group, says, “Increasing our business vehicle fleet meant we needed to increase the number of EV chargers we needed, and Sam at Get Charging recommended the BG Sync EV chargers. We wanted an option that didn’t just use an app, but could also be activated with a key fob for ease of use.
“The key fobs mean everyone in the business can quickly and easily use the chargers without having to rely on having their phone on them or having their phones charged up. Although, the great thing about the chargers is that you have a choice – some of our staff prefer using the app, and so they have the option to do that.”
With dynamic charging up to 22kW on three-phase AC power, the Type 3-Phase BG Sync EV charger uses Wi-Fi, Ethernet and RFID connectivity with 24 hour app support, making charging accessible for all. BG SyncEV says that it is easy to install and suitable for residential and commercial use, with three-phase power required – whilst also fully compliant with the latest electric vehicles regulations.
Mike adds, “Sam at Get Charging supported us throughout the whole process, coordinating the shutdown with our factory manager to get the chargers on the grid once they were installed, and also informing us of grants we can use to help make the purchase and installation more affordable.
“This allowed us to be able to afford four new EV chargers for our business and let the company easily use our electric vehicles all day, knowing we have a quicker and cheaper way to keep them charged. We couldn’t recommend them more.”
BG Sync EV Business Development Manager, Leon Wong, notes, “The Optimum Group was looking for EV chargers that were reliable, quick, look good, and could be used all day, and Get Charging was able to recommend the BG Sync EV chargers because it knew they would be able to deliver on all those fronts.”
