The partnership between the two companies was first announced last August and combines the innovation of the established UK charger foundation with Recon's expertise in bringing precast products to market. This announcement was met with overwhelming interest by concrete producers and electrical contractors who saw the product at the National Electrical Contractors Association exhibition in Austin, TX.
EV Blocks precast foundations are currently sold across the UK with demand driven by a patent-pending design including a universal adaptor plate and side openings for conduit installation, ideal for nearly all Level 2 charger installations. Its precast nature eliminates the time it takes to pour and cure concrete foundations on-site. The blocks are produced ahead of time in approved facilities and come ready to install, saving days of labour and raw material order lead time.
"In just a few short months we have been able to establish agreements with producers in over 20 major markets throughout the US," says Recon's president Mike Klotthor. "Our producers are looking forward to helping fulfil the need for fast and reliable solutions to support the accelerating EV charging infrastructure buildout."
"Having producers accessible for EV installation contractors at a local level across the US is really important for us,” said Trevor Palmer, director of EV Blocks. “There are a number of key design aspects that have made our product truly scalable, which will in turn enable installers to move swiftly from one project to the next. This expert network is poised to support the growth of the EV charging station infrastructure nationwide."
