Demand for electric vehicles in the UK has grown exponentially in the last four years, with new registrations increasing from 3,500 in 2013 to more than 223,000 by the end of July 2019. This sharp increase in electrical vehicles on the roads comes hand-in-hand with a need for a network of efficient electric vehicle charging points. To help meet that need, car charging expert Char.gy is on a mission to make charging an electric vehicle as simple as charging a mobile phone.
To help ensure the safety and integrity of their changing points, Char.gy work with a third-party product testing and certification partner, TUV, to undertake a rigorous product testing procedure. As part of the testing process, the company uses Crestchic loadbanks to simulate the electrical load that would be used by a car when in the process of being charged.
Crestchic designs, manufactures, sells and hires loadbank equipment which is primarily used for the commissioning and maintenance of independent power sources, such as diesel generators and gas turbines. Crestchic is part of Northbridge Industrial Services plc (LON:NBI).
