Our Design Philosophy
Hidden Infrastructure
We have been approached by multiple local authorities who had issues with the existing EV charging solutions on the market. Among their complaints were these common issues:
• Existing EV chargers are fragile - we constantly have to replace them because they break!
• Many have "street clutter", of steel scaffolding to protect them from vehicle damage, which makes them inaccessible for limited mobility & wheelchair users.
• Many EV chargers are a Hazard - because they are set back from the kerb and the EV charging cable creates a trip hazard for pedestrians.
• EV Chargers an "ugly" - boxes on a metal pole. They don't blend into our towns and cityscapes.
Public EV Chargers need not be ugly boxes on poles.
Using our design philosophy of "hidden infrastructure", the principle that our products must blend in with existing street furniture, we created the “Bendy Bedale Bollard”. A damage resistant EV charging bollard, based on the Manchester bollard the most common piece of street furniture in the UK.
The charger is made of a unique blend of material which allows it to withstand low-speed vehicle impact. This application solves the “fragile” nature of existing EV chargepoints, while also allowing the charger to be placed on the kerb, without the need for “street clutter”.
The Bendy Bedale Bollard reduces the cost of the overall install by removing the need for expensive protection measures, minimises the footprint of the install, improves the accessibility for all users and blends in with existing street furniture.
Our Bendy Bedale Bollards are OZEV Approved
Our chargers are eligible for the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) and On-Street Residential Charging Scheme (ORCS)

Improved Accessibility
eMobility is for everyone
Charging products need to help enable everyone to make the switch.
Our chargepoints are designed to be placed directly on the kerb and don't require protection measures (which can lead to street clutter). This maximises space for pedestrians, and improves accessibility for low mobility & wheelchair customers using our chargers.
