The Rolec range of EV chargers is suitable for car parks, workplaces, development sites, public locations.
Rolec EV chargers offer full OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) back-office solution that works with all brands of OCPP compliant chargers. This protocol allows charge points (hardware) and charge point software to talk to each other. A major advantage of OCPP is that you’re not locked into one vendor/software provider for the life of the product. OCPP allows you to mix and match EV charging points and software from different providers.

New legislation introduced in June 2022 (Part S Regulations) states that all new homes with off-street parking, as well as those undergoing major renovation, have to make provisions for EV charging for residents. This ties in with the government’s directive to make EV charge points more available ahead of the 2030 UK ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles.
The Part S regulations also state that all new private EV chargers have to be ‘smart’. This is to allow vehicles to be charged during off-peak hours, or when electricity demand is low so as to lessen the impact on the grid.
The EV chargepoint grant for landlords gives financial support to landlords and other entities to buy and install electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints at residential or commercial properties.
To access the grant, a landlord must first register. The grant provides funding towards the cost of buying and installing EV chargepoints. Chargepoints may be able to charge one or more vehicles simultaneously, depending on the number of sockets they have. The grant amount given is per chargepoint socket installed. It provides up to 75% of the cost towards the purchase and installation of a chargepoint socket, limited to £350 per grant.
Landlords can receive up to 200 grants a year for residential properties, and a further 100 for commercial properties. These may be across a number of properties and installations or just for one property.
You are considered a landlord and may apply for this grant if you are one of the following:
The Workplace Charging Scheme or WCS, is a voucher-based scheme designed to provide eligible applicants with support towards the costs of the purchase and installation of EV charge points. Contributions are limited to 75% of purchase and installation costs, up to a maximum of £350 for each socket, up to a maximum of 40 across all sites for each applicant.
You can apply for the scheme using the online application portal. If your eligibility check is successful, you will be issued a unique identification voucher code via email which you then pass to us prior to the installation date.
WCS vouchers are valid for four months, therefore installation must be completed within this time. Vouchers will be issued confirming eligibility, but please be aware that until you receive a unique identification voucher code, there is no guarantee that you will receive the grant
No, EV chargers draw a lot of power so need to be installed either from your main consumer unit, secondary consumer unit if suitable, or fed directly from your metered supply.
