PowerUp Charger: TUAL’s solution to rapid EV adoption by unlocking areas with limited grid access

  • TUAL’s PowerUp Charger allows fast, affordable EV charging in areas with limited or no grid access, accelerating the EV transition.
  • It stores energy during low demand, delivers up to 120kW of fast charging, and installs in 48 hours.
  • The charger enhances property value, attracts tenants, and provides a cost-effective, sustainable solution for grid-limited locations.

TUAL’s new PowerUp Charger speeds up EV adoption for fleets and landlords

Glasgow-based TUAL has launched a new battery-buffered DC charger designed to help fleet operators and commercial landlords switch to electric vehicles (EVs) faster and more affordably. The PowerUp Charger allows businesses to install fast-charging stations in locations with limited or no grid access.

Many sites face challenges when switching to EVs. Around 50-80% have weak or absent grid connections. Upgrading the grid can take 1 to 3 years and cost up to £3 million. These off-grid solutions find excellent use cases in rural areas. Moreover, its installation can make properties more attractive to tenants and even increase rental value. The charger’s flexible, battery-buffered design ensures reliable power even in energy-limited sites.

Philip Clarke, CEO and Founder of TUAL, commented:

“Many users’ confidence in electric vehicles has taken a significant hit, with a commensurate impact on sales, in recent times. Whether it’s fleet operators under regulatory pressure to electrify, or commercial landlords needing to futureproof their sites, the need to accelerate EV uptake has never been greater. But the time and cost it takes to install sufficient charging infrastructure can make this unfeasible for many – especially in the case of those 50% of sites that are leased.

The status quo is simply untenable. What fleet operators and commercial landlords need are rapidly deployable, cost-effective charging solutions that plug current charging infrastructure gaps, and get them electrifying at the required rate – but in a way that’s genuinely sustainable. In TUAL’s PowerUp Charger, we’ve developed a solution that can make that mission possible, and unlock the progress that’s critical to achieving the UK’s net zero objectives.”

The PowerUp Charger stores energy when grid demand is low. It delivers high-power charging of up to 120kW when needed. Installation takes just 48 hours, helping businesses avoid long delays.

With its PowerUp Charger, TUAL offers a game-changing solution to the challenges of EV adoption for fleets and landlords. As the demand for EV infrastructure grows, the PowerUp Charger paves the way for a more efficient and affordable future, accelerating the shift towards a net-zero economy.
