Furniture Group Upgrades To Sync Energy

WHAT DID SYNC ENERGY DO?

For a Hartlepool furniture group, Sync Energy's flexibility made it a no-brainer upgrade from their previous EV charging system. The Optimum Group is a specialist commercial furniture manufacturer with a purpose-built showroom and factory space in Hartlepool.

After an endorsement from their business vehicle leasing company, the group chose North East EV charging specialists, Get Charging, to recommend and install the most suitable EV chargers for the company.

WHAT PROBLEM DID SYNC ENERGY RESOLVE?

Mike Pearson, Director of The Optimum Group, said:

“Increasing our business vehicle fleet meant we needed to increase the number of EV chargers we needed and Sam at Get Charging recommended the Sync Energy chargers. We wanted an option that didn’t just use an app, but could also be activated with a key fob for ease of use.

“The key fobs mean everyone in the business can quickly and easily use the chargers without having to rely on having their phone on them or having their phones charged up. Although, the great thing about the chargers is that you have a choice – some of our staff prefer using the app and so they have the option to do that.”

WHAT PRODUCTS DID SYNC ENERGY SUPPLY?

With dynamic charging up to 22kW on three-phase AC power, the Type 3 Phase Sync Energy charger uses Wi-Fi, Ethernet and RFID connectivity with 24 hour app support, making charging accessible for all. It’s easy to install and suitable for residential and commercial use, with three-phase power required, and fully compliant with the latest Electric Vehicles Regulations. 

Mike said, “Sam at Get Charging supported us throughout the whole process, coordinating the shutdown with out factory manager to get the chargers on the grid once they were installed, and also informing us of grants we can use to help make the purchase and installation more affordable. “This allowed us to be able to afford four new EV chargers for our business and let the company easily use our electric vehicles all day, knowing we have a quicker and cheaper way to keep them charged. We couldn’t recommend them more.”

WHY DID THE CUSTOMER CHOOSE SYNC ENERGY?

Sync Energy Business Development Manager, Leon Wong, said: “The Optimum Group were looking for EV chargers that were reliable, quick, look good, and could be used all day, and Get Charging were able to recommend the Sync Energy chargers because they knew they would be able to deliver on all those fronts.”
