Poole, 2013-Aug-28
Siemens has completed the supply and installation of charging infrastructure for
electric vehicles in 12 London Underground (LU) car parks across the capital for
UK Power Network Services. The new network of 60 Siemens AC intelligent charge
posts is fully integrated into Source London, the UK's largest electric vehicle
membership scheme with over 1300 charge points.
The charge points are supported by associated services including management,
operation and maintenance and the supply of charging post management software
to operate the back offices.
Siemens charging solutions are designed, built and installed for long term field
deployment and high level of usage making them sustainable long-term technology
choices. Each charging point can charge two vehicles simultaneously, reducing
installation and maintenance costs, and maximising space. It can be easily tailored
to charging requirements, and offers key advantages with its high safety standards
and modular design. It allows the integration of calibrated meters for the exact billing
of charged energy and/or feed-in meters for the exact offsetting of energy input with
electricity providers.
Mark Bonnor-Moris, Head of Electromobility, UK Siemens said: ‘This significant EV
infrastructure project provides UK Power Network Services, Source London and LU
with credible and experienced supply, delivery, management and operation. ‘This
major project further demonstrates transition from low-power (‘trickle’) on-street
electric vehicle charging to high-power and rapid industry-grade facilities, increasing
investment and the utilisation of electric vehicles’.
Siemens is now one of the major suppliers in the growing UK Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure market. The company’s success has been built on operating Source
London, Europe’s largest EV membership scheme with over 1100 charge points, and
providing high-end charging equipment and services to leading utility companies and
local authorities.
In Corby, a new network of Siemens EV charging points for electric vehicles has
recently been installed by Siemens as part of an agreement with Electric Corby with the
support of Corby Borough Council. Seventeen 3-phase AC chargers and one DC rapid
charger are currently installed at fourteen different sites including a fourteenth century
public house in Rockingham, parking bays and associated services at Rockingham
racetrack and a 50kW rapid charger in a central location in the town of Corby.
Siemens charging solutions are designed, built and installed for long term field
deployment and high level of usage making them sustainable long-term technology
choices.
