Chargemaster has launched Powercharge, a new compact electric vehicle charging point, designed specifically for workplace charging.

The new Powercharge unit can provide businesses with a solution for open access workplace charging, without the need for keys or RFID cards.

Powercharge, available from just £795 + VAT, can be wall-mounted or floor-standing, in both cases providing two standard Type 2 charging sockets, which are compatible with every electric car and van on the market today.

David Martell, chief executive of Chargemaster, said: “As the electric vehicle market in the UK continues to grow significantly, we are seeing an increasing number of enlightened businesses realising the need to provide charging points at their workplaces for fleet, staff and visitor vehicles. Powercharge provides a simple, robust and cost-effective charging solution for any business car park.”

The Powercharge unit is available in 7kW (30A) specification as standard, with 3.6kW (16A) available as an option, using a single-phase 230-volt AC electricity supply in either case. As with all Chargemaster charging points, Powercharge is manufactured in the UK.
