Summary
Many electric vehicles remain uncharged while parked, indicating a need for more accessible charging solutions. The Halo FastHub by 3Ti can be installed quickly and efficiently, requiring no concrete foundations and allowing for minimal disruption.
A recent installation at a busy hospital in Manchester showcased the FastHub's capability to become operational within a week, ensuring the car park remained functional. Designed for easy transport and setup, the Halo FastHub has a minimal environmental footprint and can be removed quickly if needed.
The Halo FastHub is a solar-powered EV charging unit that enhances the utility of parking spaces by allowing electric vehicles to charge while parked, particularly in high-traffic areas like hospitals. Patients can gain 40 to 80 miles of range during typical appointment durations, with the FastHub offsetting around seven tons of carbon emissions annually through its solar energy generation.
The Halo software facilitates remote monitoring and dynamic load management, optimizing energy use from both solar and grid sources for efficient charging. Hospitals installing these units can generate revenue from charging fees while meeting planning requirements for EV infrastructure, making it a financially advantageous choice.
