L-Charge launches super-fast mobile EV-charging service trial in London
The manufacturer of ultra-fast off-grid charging solutions will start a new test for its mobile EV charging truck powered by clean fuels.
Electric vehicle charge point manufacturer L-Charge has announced the start of field trials for the company’s ultra-fast mobile EV-charging service in London from the beginning of September 2022. The test welcomes EV drivers with iPhones to join the programme by filling out the form, which will make them eligible for discounts and offers.
This initiative comes after the firm recently completed a road tour through Europe with the intention of measuring mobile charging demand in cities that have a distinct shortage of EV charging infrastructure. Whilst charging EVs, the brand collected insights about the obstacles owners face.
Previous survey results from L-Charge show that only 34% of EV owners are completely satisfied with the existing charge point network, the associated output rates of charge and the charging tariffs on offer.
Around 56% of EV owners said they are unsatisfied with the current charging infrastructure. Notably – over 90% of those satisfied have never undertaken long-distance journeys in their EVs. 63% of EV owners said they are forced to amend their travel routes because of the lack of charging infrastructure. More than 300 EV owners have participated in the survey so far.
L-Charge is a UK-based company that designs and produces ultra-fast off-grid EV charging solutions that are powered by clean fuels. The company’s mobile EV charging truck is fitted with a mini-power station that uses LNG, hydrogen or a mixture of the two fuels to produce electricity onboard, allowing it to roam freely around the city and be called to a convenient location when needed via the app, in the same manner as ordering a taxi. The mobile charging truck provides ultra-fast charging – from 0% to 80% in 15-25 minutes.
