Charge-M8, the EV charging aficionados, are ecstatic to unveil their latest array of protective barriers for EV chargers, designed meticulously to safeguard invaluable EV charging points from unintended vehicle impacts, whilst ensuring full compliance with UK’s stringent safety standards.

This avant-garde range showcases six unique products, which include the robust steel quad/tri post barriers, adaptable steel U barriers in both slender and broad models, and resilient rubber wheel stops in two distinct sizes. The range is thoughtfully priced from the economical £29.97 up to £268.97.

Charge-M8 facilitates the protection of your indispensable EV charging apparatus with unparalleled ease. In addition to offering these state-of-the-art products, Charge-M8 also provides an all-encompassing installation and securing service, ensuring your EV charging stations are not only well-protected but also steadfastly safe for the foreseeable future.

Guided by the BS IET Wiring Regulations 18th Edition, specifically codes AG2-AG3, it is advocated to implement reinforced protection in zones susceptible to medium or high impacts. The IET Code of Practice for EV Charging Equipment Installation compels that charging equipment in public spaces be fortified to endure impacts of at least AG2 severity, in accordance with BS76741 (18th Edition). Charge-M8 champions the integration of sturdy tyre stops as the primary line of defence, bolstered by impact barriers as an ultimate safeguard in scenarios where tyre stops fail to prevent or when a vehicle’s overhang overshoots their protective bounds.

Julian Smith, CEO of Charge-M8 said: “Since launching Charge-M8 impact protection range we’ve received an overwhelming response from the trade and will expand the range further throughout 2024. The high quality of the products and speed of delivery are the two areas that have been praised in particular which is very pleasing to hear.

The product range came into existence when we were trying to source a consistent supply of impact barriers and tyre stops at an acceptable cost. After numerous cancelled orders, mostly due to incorrect stock availability it seemed like the obvious thing to do was to source our own range and as well as using these for our own projects, offer the range to the wider EV installer network. We’re pleased to be able to help and give peace of mind that their assets are well protected.”

Designed with a focus on safeguarding EV charging assets, these barriers also find utility across a multitude of settings, including but not limited to, demarcating premises or crafting safe havens, rendering them perfectly suited for warehouses, storage facilities, industrial compounds, and parking lots.

The complete suite is up for grabs online, with provisions for same-day dispatch. For sizable orders or to avail of discounts, Charge-M8’s Technical Experts stand ready to tailor solutions to your specific needs.
