Lighting Up Electric Vehicle Charging with Staycold Export and io7
2:19
Ratio EV’s io7 pillars have lit up electric vehicle (EV) charging at one of the UK’s leading commercial refrigeration companies.
Staycold Export’s factory in Hawarden, North Wales, now boasts five of our sleek, modern, sustainably designed EV charging units with smart lighting. The drive to select the io7 came from a need for Staycold to offer a visually-appealing, expandable alternative to their existing single EV charger.
Staff and visitors can now use the chargers, which also integrate seamlessly with the site’s existing solar PV system.
## Looking Good
The Staycold Export project shows that enhancing sustainability through EV charging doesn’t have to mean prioritising function over form.
Working with Genfit, a Cheshire-based EV installation specialist, Ratio EV installed units which provide both a modern design and appropriate ambient lighting, particularly important due to Staycold’s proximity to an airport.
They’re scalable, so they can grow as the company grows, and offer user-friendly fob access to charging the control system. The solar PV integration means reduced grid dependency too.
## Smooth Operators
Ratio EV works closely with reputable installers to ensure smooth project delivery, and Genfit were no exception.
From initial planning, to collaborative design, to final implementation, Genfit’s previous experience with Staycold helped streamline planning and installation as well as ensure the set-up fully met the client’s needs.
The results speak for themselves:
- 100% charging uptime ensuring reliable access for staff and visitors
- Notable cost savings compared to fossil fuel alternatives
- Enhanced sustainability credentials supporting corporate environmental goals
- Reliable, consistent charging performance
- Support for 3-5 electric vehicles daily
**Want to Learn More?**
The Staycold Export installation demonstrates how EV charging infrastructure can be successfully integrated with existing renewable energy systems. Their new charging solution not only meets current needs but reinforces their commitment to sustainability by using clean energy generated on-site.
