Novuna,⁢ a vehicle leasing specialist, has achieved a significant milestone ​by⁢ opening a state-of-the-art Electric Vehicle (EV) charging forecourt in Trowbridge. This facility ​features the UK’s first permanent cableless, fully wireless EV charging feature, demonstrating ‌Novuna’s commitment to advancing sustainable mobility.

The forecourt is equipped with 12 Alternating Current (AC) charging bays that can deliver up to 22 kW ​of power. This capacity allows an‍ average EV with an 11 kW onboard charger and a⁤ 50 kWh battery to achieve a full ⁢charge in less than five hours. Additionally, the site includes‌ four Direct Current (DC) rapid charging bays capable of supplying up to 100 kW‍ of power, enabling near-full charges for EVs within one hour.

What⁣ sets this facility apart is its innovative approach to power generation. Sixteen electric ​vehicles can be charged simultaneously, drawing energy from a solar canopy over the AC bays combined with a ‌grid connection. Approximately 70% of the energy used for employee charging comes from Novuna’s⁢ own renewable generation. The site also features a 180 kWh battery storage facility with an energy management system, allowing the⁣ storage of unused solar-generated energy and enabling peak-saving trickle charging, resulting in lower CO2 emissions.

The forecourt is constructed using lower CO2 concrete and equipment and introduces the UK’s first permanent cableless, fully wireless EV charging facility with integrated charging pads across each parking bay, accommodating cars, vans, and accessibility bays.

This landmark ⁤installation not only showcases Novuna Vehicle Solutions’ leasing innovation but also highlights its commitment to providing end-to-end EV‌ charging infrastructure ​capabilities. Fleet owners visiting the site can experience‌ various charging hardware technologies applicable to their⁢ own depot and workplace sites.

The installation includes a charge point management system and a‌ corresponding driver app called ‘My Novuna Charging.’ This system allows Novuna Vehicle​ Solutions to effectively manage its ⁣own⁣ charging ⁢network and its customers’ charge points. It ‍provides fleet drivers with real-time visibility into charging events and ‌energy consumption,⁢ as well as remote hardware maintenance‍ for fleets. In the future, the system will⁣ also provide access to other ⁢corporate, private, and public networks.

Jon Lawes, Managing Director of Novuna Vehicle​ Solutions,⁤ highlighted the significance of the forecourt, stating ​that it represents a major milestone for the contract hire and leasing industry. He emphasized the facility’s role in showcasing the company’s end-to-end charging capabilities and energy management ​solutions. Lawes​ also emphasized the forecourt’s contribution to carbon ‌neutrality, labeling it as ‌one of the ⁤largest⁤ and greenest charging facilities in Wiltshire.
