Electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider, 1936 APT Technologies has supplied and installed three of its very latest Tri-Rapid Chargers at sites in Shoreditch, Dalston and Hackney Central in London.

Charging at 43kW AC power and 50kW DC power, the highly efficient Tri-Rapid Chargers have an eight-inch LCD screen ensuring simple user interaction, real-time consumption data and a constantly refreshed charging cost, measured on a pay-as-you-go basis.
 
A sub-15 minute charging time ensures a fast and efficient turnaround, while the unit caters for the charging requirements of all types of EV, whether it is plug-in hybrid or fully electric.

In order to provide effective charging and reliability, APT Technologies is also utilising the Genie operating platform with reporting and analysis functionality provided by ChargePoint Services (CPS).

Councillor Feryal Demirci, Hackney Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Sustainability, announced the formal launch of the on-street charging network: “The Council is committed to improving air quality in the borough, including supporting the development of electric vehicles both locally and across London,” she said. “We hope this network will make charging more accessible, efficient and practical, in particular enabling electric taxis and private hire vehicles, as well as other commercial vehicles such as those used by courier companies, to recharge during the working day.”
