- Less Downtime – Fast and efficient charging stations have fleet vehicles and heavy equipment ready to use when needed.
- Optimised Charge Schedules – Smart charging systems assist in managing electricity bills and lowering the burden on the power supply.
- Lowering carbon emissions – the utilisation of electric vehicles minimises the carbon footprint of construction operations.
- Cost Efficiency – Electric vehicles (EVs) offer long-term savings on fuel and maintenance.
- Regulatory Compliance – Enabling the transition to electric vehicles allows companies to meet sustainability targets and emissions regulations.
Protecting Your EV Charging Stations
Building sites are hazardous environments, with machinery roaming freely at all times, so accidents involving EV chargers are a genuine threat. Charging points are vulnerable to damage from collisions, harsh weather, or even intentional abuse if not adequately protected, resulting in costly downtime and repair. To help reduce these risks, Vital EV provides comprehensive protection solutions for EV chargers thoughtfully designed to ensure charging points remain secure and in full working order. Our durable enclosures shield chargers from the elements and environment, and bollards and barriers safeguard against unauthorised impacts from fleet vehicles. Advanced weatherproofing ensures chargers are dependable even in harsh environments that range from rain and dust to below-freezing temperatures. The tamper protection also deters unauthorised access or vandalism of chargers. With an investment in Vital EV’s charging station protection, fleet managers can improve safety, prolong the life of their EV charging equipment, and provide non-stop operations even on the toughest construction sites.
Service & Maintenance for Heavy-Duty EV Chargers
In order to keep EV fleet charging solutions in good condition, routine maintenance and technical support are required for continuous fleet operations. If not regularly maintained, breakdowns can lead to costly downtime and disrupt productivity. Vital EV ensures reliability with scheduled inspections, conducting routine checks to detect and prevent potential issues from becoming serious concerns. Our proactive maintenance approach addresses problems early, minimising disruptions to fleet vehicles. In the event of a fault, our prompt repair and replacement services are intended to maintain uptime and keep things running according to schedule. In addition, firmware and software updates ensure that chargers remain optimised with the latest technology, enhancing performance and efficiency. A well-maintained EV charging infrastructure increases reliability and helps businesses save money and reap the full benefits of electric vehicle fleet charging.
