Elektromotive has installed England’s first three-phase charging station, specially designed to recharge electric light commercial vehicles.

Located at an new refuelling station at the bus depot in Camden, London, the new charging station will source some of its energy from the depot’s rooftop solar panels.

Based on Elektromotive’s Elektrobay electric vehicle recharging station – the new three-phase unit can be used from today, free of charge, by users of all compatible electric vehicles.

The high-power Elektromotive three-phase charging station has an output of 400 volts, 32Amps and 21Kwh.

The installation is part of an initiative by Camden council to become the first council in the UK to operate its own fleet of vehicles powered entirely by renewable energy.
