Electric vehicle (EV) charge point provider Project EV has partnered with installation company Helix Renewable Energy Services to install one of the UK’s first ‘hyper-speed’ EV charging solutions.
The move follows the Park Garage Group appointing Helix Renewable Energy Services to carry out its first rollout of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at one of its 77 branches.
As a result, the new Blackpool site was able to install Project EV’s latest DC charging solution, which is capable of recharging a vehicle in just 15 minutes.
In total, three 480kW EV charging stations were installed at the Park Garage Group’s Blackpool branch, enabling up to six vehicles to recharge simultaneously.
The hyper-speed chargers feature a contactless payment terminal and a user-friendly back-office management system that allows drivers to monitor charging sessions via a smartphone.
Alongside the charging infrastructure, the site includes a seating area, and Greggs and Starbucks retail outlets.
Richard Pink, Chief Technical Officer at Project EV said:
“For the past several months, Project EV has been collaborating with Helix Renewables and their client, Park Garage Group, to provide expert guidance on the optimal EV charging solution that aligns with their business needs and future expansion plans.
“We recognised the importance of helping them stand out in a competitive market, which is why we developed our new 480kW hyper-speed charger. This innovative charger can simultaneously deliver 240kW to two vehicles, ensuring faster, more efficient public charging. Moreover, it’s designed to accommodate the future of electric vehicles with advanced charging capabilities.”
