Delta and Rolec EV Sign DC Rapid Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Partnership
Delta, a global leader in power and thermal management solutions, announced today it has signed a partnership agreement with Rolec EV, one of Europe’s leading EV charge point manufacturers and installers. Under the terms of the agreement, Delta’s range of DC EV chargers will be available within the UK with immediate effect from Rolec EV.
Rajbir Kambo, Emobility & Smart Energy Solutions sales director for Delta in the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region, commented: “We are delighted to have appointed Rolec EV as our preferred partner in the UK, and look forward to closely working with them to further strengthen the nation’s DC rapid EV charger network. With Rolec already established as one of the UK’s leading AC charge point providers, we felt that they were the ideal company within the UK to take the Delta DC rapid charger range forward.” He added: “With immediate effect, Rolec will become our UK distributor of DC EV chargers and associated components, whilst also offering a full installation, maintenance and emergency response service.”Delta’s rapid DC EV charging technology can provide energy for up to four EVs simultaneously (up to two DC ports, plus up to two in AC). This dramatically reduces the queuing time for users as well as on-site space requirements. When multiple EVs are connected, the power of the charger is automatically and dynamically split among all the charging EVs. When configured to provide 150kW of output, it allows users to charge a range of up to 100 km in less than 15 minutes.
Rolec already boasts the UK’s largest and most comprehensive AC EV charging range and this latest announcement with Delta will place Rolec at the forefront of the DC rapid charger industry. Kieron Alsop, Rolec’s MD commented: “After intensive research, which included undertaking a comprehensive due diligence process, we felt Delta and its high quality DC rapid charger range was the perfect fit for us, complementing our already extensive AC charging range. One of the key factors in choosing Delta as our DC partner was the impressive range of charging speeds and charging capacities they currently offer including 25kW, 50kW, 75kW, 100kW, 125kW and the 150kW Ultra-Fast Charger (UFC) which can accommodate up to 6 x charging outlets and charge 4 x electric vehicles simultaneously.”
