EV charge point operator (CPO) Ocean charge specialise in funded residential installations and recently partnered with electric car charging installers Pro EV, to provide and install EV charging at the exclusive residential development Oxygen Apartments in Greenwich, London. This partnership allows both Ocean Charge and Pro EV to demonstrate why they are both experts in their industries.
Due to their highly skilled and nationwide installation team, Pro EV were the ideal partners for Ocean Charge Oxygen apartment project. Pro EV were tasked with installing the charging infrastructure for 22 parking bays across 2 floors of the underground parking area.
The Oxygen Buildings Manager, Ali Syed said: “None of the other companies I reached out to brought forward a ‘no cost upfront’ proposal. When I was introduced to the idea that Ocean Charge would install for free, it made sense to take this approach as this way no Non-EV users are given a reason to complain about why they are out of pocket (through service charge) when they don’t own or never intend to own an EV. Only users of EV’s will now (overtime) be paying towards the cost of this. Pro EV were great and thorough with the job. Communication was good throughout and most importantly; the result is very neat. No complaints on our end”.
After an initial site inspection, Pro EV agreed on the most economical cable route, taking the power from an existing but unused electrical supply to the designated charging bays.
Pro EV’s engineers used Woertz flat cable busbar system to neatly install 4 walls mounted Zaptec Pro 22kW chargers and the charging infrastructure for an additional 18 parking bays, allowing the building management to quickly and easily add more chargers and future proof the development as the demand for EV charging grows.
Sam Foster, Founding Member of Ocean Charge, commented: "The transition to electric mobility is one of the most significant shifts of our time, and ensuring seamless access to EV charging infrastructure is crucial. This project at Oxygen Apartments reflects the kind of forward-thinking approach needed to future-proof residential developments. By working with Pro EV, we’ve created a scalable, cost-neutral solution that benefits both residents and building owners. My focus has always been on driving practical, innovative solutions in the sustainable energy sector, and this partnership is a testament to how collaboration can accelerate real change. I look forward to continuing to work on projects that push the industry forward and make sustainable energy more accessible for all."
Head of Commercial Operations at Pro EV, David Struthers said “We are really pleased to have completed our first installation working with Ocean Charge. It’s an exciting partnership and we look forward to many more installations as our partnership grows.”
