Helping to prepare for an electric vehicle boom
Bowers Electricals is proud to have been part of the largest EV charging hub based in the North of England.
Monks Cross Park & Ride Electric Vehicles (EV) charging hub in York is set to be finished and in use by July. It will include rapid chargers, a solar canopy, and battery storage.
The UK Government intends that the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles will cease by 2030, and the sale of hybrids will end by 2035.
The Monk's Cross Park & Ride hub is one of two being built in York to help this movement. Both sites support modern EVs with larger battery capacities, containing four Ultra-Rapid (150kW) and four Rapid (50kW) chargers.
Working with Evo Energy, who is leading the project, Bowers installed a 1500kVA, 11000/415V, Dyn11, KNAN, Tier 2 transformer, finished in a custom pearl green colour. Associated with energy efficiency, the green coloured transformer aims to complement the move towards a green transport infrastructure.
