How does the Velocy Box charging station work?
The Velocy Box charging station enables you to charge all-electric EVs, plug-in hybrids and electric motorcycles at home. You must call on the services of a qualified professional to install a Velocy Box charging station. Once installed, the charging station is immediately operational and doesn’t need any further settings. You simply plug the integrated charging cable into your vehicle. The uncluttered design of the charging station makes it easy to use. A green light comes on when the vehicle is charging and changes colour if there is a problem with charging. You can programme charging from your EV or via the vehicle maker’s app.
Once your EV is charged, Velocy Box automatically stops the charging operation.
Control the costs linked with charging your EV
Charging your vehicle from a home charger with a dynamic energy management system can lead to substantial savings and so help you cope with increasing energy tariffs or quite simply consume less energy on a daily basis.
The advantage of the Velocy Box charging station lies in its compatibility with peak/off-peak tariffs. When the charging station is being installed, you can opt to activate this feature which will make charging automatically available during off-peak hours only (the best rates are usually at night). To control your power consumption, you can go for the Velocy Box with dynamic energy management which provides you with a smart charging solution by using the electric power available without exceeding the rating of your electricity tariff contract. This means you ensure optimum charging power, but won’t get any surprises on your electricity bill.
