Vestel and Eneco eMobility partner to bring ultra-efficient EV charging solution to Europe

BERKSHIRE, UK, 15-Mar-2022 — /EPR ENERGY NEWS/ — Vestel and Eneco eMobility have announced a new partnership, that is set to make it easier for more drivers across Europe to switch to electric vehicles. Through the installation of Vestel EVC04 Electric Vehicle Chargers in the Benelux region, and Germany, Eneco eMobility can offer its customers a convenient, user-friendly, and ultra-efficient EV charging solution.

While the Vestel EVC04 model simplifies installation and boosts efficiency, Eneco eMobility ensures that every customer can charge on 100% renewable energy.

Offering a safe, fast, and easy way to charge electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug in hybrids (PHEVs), the Vestel EVC04 EV Charger overcomes the usual challenges of installation for homes and small businesses. As well as offering compatibility with three-phase and single-phase power supplies, the 22kW model comes with adjustable power settings between 3,7- 22 kW to suit more installation sites.

When connected to the Eneco OCP management system, the standard EVC04 MID-certified smart charger further maximises energy and cost efficiency, ensuring customers are only ever billed for precisely the amount of electricity used.

IK10 and IP54-rated, both the entry and standard versions are shock-resistant and weather-proof, and safely balance the power consumption, thanks to their dynamic load management feature.

Recently rated highly in a review conducted by the ADAC, Germany’s largest motoring association, the RFID reader-enabled EVC04 model has quickly established global multi-sector technology company, Vestel, as a driving force in electromobility.

The partnership with Eneco eMobility is, according to Turan Erdoğan, Vestel Chief Executive Officer, the next step in realising the company’s ambitious plans to facilitate large scale vehicle electrification: “With Eneco as a partner, we not only have the opportunity to scale up and fulfil demand for a simplified mainstream EV charging solution, but also to further the sustainability goals of individuals and small businesses alike. When installed with Eneco, the EVC04 EV Charger greatly reduces carbon emissions, enabling every customer to support a circular economy through the use of renewable wind and solar energy.”

Leonie Baneke, Eneco eMobility Chief Executive Officer, adds: “Vestel shares our passion for making the transition to electric vehicles seamless and easy, making it a great international partner for us. With the Vestel roll-out of a uniform, adaptable and user-friendly EV charger that is simpler to install, Eneco can support a wider range of small businesses and households, reducing the cost, and complexity of EV charging.”

npower Encourages Homeowners To Find Out More About Climate Week

npower encouraged homeowners to pay a visit to its stand at the Ideal Home Show during Climate Week to find out how to make their homes more energy efficient and better manage their impact on the environment.

Exhibiting at the show for a third year, npower showcased the latest eco-friendly home technology developments including electric vehicle technology, solar energy panels and the company’s green energy tariff.

Centre of the stand was a Tesla, the fastest electric vehicle in existence, along with home and city charging points for electric vehicles.

Nicola Hadcroft, creative services manager at npower, commented: “Climate Week is all about highlighting the innovative technology that is coming to the market to help make homeowners’ lives easier. The Ideal Home Show was the perfect place to showcase what npower is doing to make a difference.

“By encouraging people to become more engaged with their energy usage and as a supplier helping them to achieve this, we can work towards a more sustainable future and help homeowners tread more lightly on the planet.

“Even by making small improvements such as using an electricity monitor, energy efficient light bulbs fitting or fitting a smart meter, can make a difference, while bigger innovations, such as installing solar panels are a viable investment for the future.”

Homeowners who are not looking to install new products in their home, but still want to play their part can also sign up to npower’s green energy tariffs including npower Juice and npower’s National Trust Green Energy.

Concentrated Solar Power: No Breakage Issue for Untempered Solar Mirrors

Field tests from the project „Nevada Solar One“ indicate a breakage rate of 0.027% for FLABEG’s solar mirrors: In the course of three years only 50 needed to be replaced from a total 183.400 installed mirrors. This erases the erroneous fact that tempered glass is necessary to mitigate breakage. However, there are no commercially available mirrors for parabolic troughs that are able to match the precision of curvature that FLABEG manufactures.

FLABEG redefines mirror bending precision by achieving FDx≤10 mm (measured by DLR). This is equivalent to a hit rate of 99.95% (focal line d=70mm). With this quality parameter FLABEG has achieved a unique standard of excellence and technical preeminence.

FLABEG’s parabolic mirrors are produced by a special sag-bending process, which results in the highest possible degree of precision. On the other hand, tempered glass can only be press bent, which does not allow to come to the same outstanding precision of bending as the sag bending process can provide.

Sun Electronics, a leader in solar integration and design, is now harnessing the power of the sun at its downtown Miami headquarters

Sun Electronics has placed 129 solar panels on its rooftop which provides 23kW of power with their grid tie system. The system allows Sun to supply all of it’s daily electrical needs, sell any overage back to the utility, and provide long term independent power in case of a long term power outage.

“Americans must take responsibility in helping themselves to the enormous opportunity that solar energy can supply” says owner and President John Kimball.

John Kimball started working in the solar business in 1973, in Tucson, Arizona at the age of 21. Kimball started the Tucson Energy Center in 1973, worked in three U.S. Congressional offices including U.S. Representative Morris K. Udall, Arizona; U.S. Representative Phillip Sharp, Indiana; and U.S. Representative George Brown Jr, California. Following several years working on solar energy in Washington, he went to work for Arizona Governor Bruce Babbit‘s Arizona Solar Energy Commission. He then worked a as a sales engineer for Photowatt, Photocomm, and Kyocera America.

For 35 years Kimball has been helping dealers and customers in the design and promotion of solar and renewable energy systems, back up, and independent power systems worldwide.

Sun ships worldwide, and the company projects sales exceeding 15 million for 2008.
