Rolec is taking EV charging to the next level

With 35 years of expertise in manufacturing, Rolec is a trusted name in the EV, leisure and marina industries. We hear how the company is now taking the next step with a range of research backed solutions that tick all the boxes.

Being the chosen hardware suppliers for big names in the industry since its establishment. Rolec’s product range has always been expansive – and it’s now bigger, better, and bolder than before.

Rolec is passionate about driving the EV industry forward and has been emboldened by conversations with installers, wholesalers and customers who have watched the company grow over the past three decades.

The easiest charger to install

Rolec has built close relationships with its global team of electrical contractors, giving unique insight into customers’ needs and preferences for creating a unit that is more installation-friendly than ever before. EVO features a highly modular design with three key components: a base, a click-in module, and a cover that provides easy access for installers. This practical and efficient design allows for quick, hassle-free installation and configuration in as little as 15 minutes, while the CT clamp’s plug-and-play capability further reduces installation time.

The EVO will always prioritise stable and efficient charging. Supporting dynamic load balancing as standard and 3-to-1 phase switching (22kW model only), the unit can adjust its charger output based on the property’s available electricity usage, preventing grid overload, optimising energy use, and protecting the power supply, for easy charging and peace of mind.

The introduction of EVO also marks the arrival of a new way to solar charge. With three charging modes: CHARGE NOW (Plug & Go), ECO (solar + grid), and ECO+ (surplus solar only), EVO offers flexibility to suit any lifestyle.

With the ECO+ smart solar feature, EVO can detect and allocate surplus solar energy generated at home to charge the electric vehicle, creating an opportunity for cost-free charging. EVO also comes with an extended five-year manufacturer’s warranty.

RolecConnect

RolecConnect is an all-in-one software service designed to help installers work smarter and faster. With all current information on product specifications and configuration in one place, this app is the hub of knowledge for all Rolec products and free to use for all Rolec contractors.

RolecConnect is more than just a knowledge base — the platform captures every single step of the installation process, offering tailored support and guidance at every turn. A wealth of information is just a few clicks away once the business is registered.

The LeadConnect platform utilises each unique installer profile to match installation or maintenance leads in the area. From there, users can manage current projects, conduct EV-tailored site surveys, and generate customer quotations instantly. That means no more hunting around for wholesale prices. The ‘See it Before you Build It’ augmented reality (AR) feature gives installers the power to visualise installations before breaking ground, levelling up site planning tools.

Once the installation is complete, everything needed for successful product configuration is on hand. All the up-to-date information required to streamline installation is within reach, reducing unit set-up time from start to finish to as little as 15 minutes.

The SupportConnect platform has been engineered to give full visibility and management of post installation services, helping keep an eye on customer warranty and maintenance plans once the initial project is complete with reminders and notifications.

Installers are encouraged to engage with each other and build their community. The Installer Forum acts as Rolec’s connected community of electrical contractors, giving a unique opportunity to network with fellow professionals and share expertise.
