An electric vehicle charger installation specialist devised an ingenious solution for preserving the look of an old farmhouse while wiring in an EV charge point.
Neil McGavock, from Powered EVNI, a specialist company covering areas across Northern Ireland, was contacted by a customer who wanted an electric vehicle charge point installed in their older property. They also had an idea to position the charger inside a traditional red postbox to help preserve the look of the old farmhouse.
McGavock told the PA news agency: “He [the homeowner] lives in an old farmhouse and was looking for something a little different that wouldn’t look out of place on his property.”
Most importantly, the key-operated door on the front of the post box can still be used, allowing the owner to ‘lock’ the charger away and keep it hidden when not in use.
The Ohme ePod usually has a power output of 7kW, which is enough to fully charge a typical EV overnight. However, it also has a compact size overall which made it better suited for this particular installation.
