This month’s blog takes us to Huntingdon where we recently installed two Sevadis MaxiChargers for a primary school.
The school were looking for a professional and reliable charging solution for staff and visitors to use as well as being able to generate revenue from the charger’s use.
With this in mind, we assured them they came to the right place! We proposed our tried and tested Sevadis x Fuuse system as the perfect solution to fulfill their requirement and were invited back days later to complete the installation.
Although the conditions were against us, with the help of our friends at L.M Homeworks Ltd we got the job done on time and to the budget agreed. The project included the supply and installation of x2 EVCs, a twin post, x2 MCBs, and 50Ms of cable that we were able to hide resulting in a clean-looking install.
The business manager of the school Jason Taxworth was pleased with our work and left a positive testimonial
“We were delighted with the very professional and efficient service provided by MMV. From my initial contact to the post-installation support, we were guided through the whole process with very clear and helpful advice. The project was completed very quickly and smoothly and I would highly recommend MMV Contracting to anyone looking to install EV chargers.”
Our Solution
The Sevadis MaxiCharger is a wall or pedestal mounted single outlet universal Type 2 EV charger. It charges up to 7.4kW on a single-phase connection or up to 22kW on a 3-phase connection. OCPP 1.6 compliance, built-in PME fault detection (PEN protection), IP54 weather rating, static load management, and dynamic load balancing capabilities make this charger an ideal charging solution for domestic and commercial installations.
We’ve installed a fair few of these chargers now and although they are not the cheapest on the market, in our view they are without rival the best! With installs going back to early 2023 we’re yet to have any issues with them and a 0% failure rate (touch wood)
Utilizing the MaxiChargers OCPP compliance the system is powered by Fuuse. Fuuse is an intelligent back-office management system that provides installers and charge point operators with significant opportunities for the future of electrified transport. The Flexible Charge Point Management Software allows the client to manage, monitor, and monetise their system with ease. The software is packed with features developed for you to easily manage your network without having to incur any of the costs associated with developing a back-office, phone app, secure payment, and management platform.
Drivers initiate charging sessions by scanning a QR code located on the face of the MaxiCharger. Visible summary of charging costs, such as /kWh rate, connection, parking, and overstay fees before starting sessions. Credit or debit card details can be stored for ease of future sessions.
As Fuuse-approved installers, we can help you save energy, reduce costs, and generate revenue through one fully configurable charge point management software.
Workplace Charging Scheme for state-funded education institutions
By electing to go with a government-approved installer MMV, the school were able to take advantage of the Workplace Charging Scheme for state-funded education institutions. The scheme aims to accelerate the uptake of electric charging points for state-funded education institutions.
