MOSS TO ACHIEVE NET ZERO CARBON! Moss Electrical aims to become net zero carbon by 2025 – the world is set to miss its emissions target, but Moss will not!
T
he recent IPCC report has stated a code red warning for humanity, as climate change is now forecast to be irreversible. Our planet needs saving for our future generations, and it starts with all of us. Moss has established its own ‘Go Green Plan’, comprising of three core elements: • 100% electric fleet • Solar energy – supplying and installing 1.3mW solar panels on the Moss roof • The launch and installation of Moss designed EV chargers
100% Electric Fleet Moss has invested in electric cars and has plans to replace the current fleet of vans and lorries
According to the Mayor of London, polluting vehicles account for nearly half of London’s NOx air emissions. Moss has invested in electric cars and has plans to replace the current fleet of vans and lorries with fully electric/hydrogen, plug-in vehicles. Aside from the benefits of zero tailpipe emissions, a 100% electric fleet will support the world’s energy security.
Solar Energy An impressive 1.3mW of power is produced by the solar panels on the Moss warehouse roof. The energy contribution from the company’s solar panels is a major boost towards Moss becoming net zero carbon and demonstrates a long-term commitment to green energy.
EVIE Chargers After five years of extensive research and development, two industry leading companies based in the UK and Far East have joined forces. Moss Electrical and Huade Technology are excited to announce the launch of their 7.2KW Charge Point into the UK market. The government’s 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars has created an enormous demand for electric vehicle chargers, with the EV charger market forecast to see a 29% increase annually until 2030. EVIE’s mission is to boost the adoption of electric cars by providing the perfect charging solution. The EVIE Smart Home Charge Point is particularly quick and easy to install, as it does not require an earth rod, amongst many other features. For contractors this significantly reduces installation costs, along with total unit costs. Contractors may also take advantage of the opportunity to offer customers EVIE maintenance contracts as an additional revenue stream using Moss’ promotional offer on chargers and testers within this publication. The EVIE is ready to install with standard wall bracket and fixings. EVIE ‘extras’ are also available, including a ground mounting pole, additional cables, and portable chargers.

The EVIE hardware contains propriety technology that allows direct connection to a PME (Protective Multiple Earthing) supply. The Type B RCD can detect sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC, which is a multi-frequency composite including a smooth DC residual current. The EVIE includes an independent RCMU (Residual Current Monitoring Unit) to provide detection for the PE (Protective Earth) line against the earth leakage current, both from the power source and from EVIE. The RCMU connects to the motherboard and detects the earth leakage on the PE line and sends a signal to the motherboard, which instructs the independent AC Contactor to cut off the power to the L/N/PE lines. The motherboard will isolate all conductors between input and output, including the signal wires CP (Capability Process) and PP (Process Performance), and resets the charger once the fault is cleared. EVIE includes an automatic locking device and a Master Control Board, which integrates multiple protections and guarantees the safety of EVIE and users during the charging process. Safety is at the forefront of EVIE’s work. With plans for a full range of exciting commercial charging technologies, payment platforms and innovation, EVIE will continue to support the shift towards green energy and contribute to Moss’s 2025 target. Everyone should account for and act on the emissions they produce. Moss has set an ambitious goal, with a robust strategy and is determined to be successful. Moss Electrical, mosselectrical.co.uk
