A 10 million kWh milestone! Joju and Mer EV Charging

Our Joju installed charge points, running on the Mer network, have hit a 10 million kWh milestone!

On average, you can travel 3.5miles per kWh in your EV, so this milestone equates to driving around the earth about 1,405 times. Wow!

It’s brilliant to be making a tangible difference and saving 832, 772.3 kilograms of CO2 whilst we are at it!

 

 

Charge Point Regulations Update

Are you charging on the Mer, or any other network around the country? If you are, then you should know that from November 24^th, some updates mandated by the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023  are coming into effect.  This is what you can expect:

1. Contactless Payments

All new charge points over 8kW, and all existing rapid chargers, will have to offer contactless payment.

2. 99% Reliability Target

Rapid chargers will be required to hit a 99% reliability target. That means more charge points operational and online performance data published.

3. 24/7 Helpline

Charge Point Operators will need to provide a freephone 24/7 helpline, to make sure support is always available if you’re having issues using a charge point.

4. Open Data

Charge Point Operators will need to share real-time data on the status and availability of their Charge Points.

 

 

The regulations are designed to make things easier for EV drivers everywhere, many Charge Point Operators are already meeting these standards but from the end of November it will be compulsory.

Happy travels and charging!
