Smart, adaptive solutions to support EV Charging
Lucy Zodion is a specialist in street lighting control and power distribution equipment.
We have over 60 years’ experience in the street lighting and highways industries and from this we’ve developed
a strong understanding and knowledgebase of the products, skills and expertise required to keep urban spaces
‘switched-on’. This has helped us continue to develop a range of solutions and services that give contractors, architects
and urban planners (and many more) significant benefits throughout the specification of the latest technologies and
their installation.

Empowering EV with pre-wired solutions
As one of the UK’s leading suppliers of pre-wired power distribution enclosures, we understand the
importance of electrical safety and flexibility to meet the growing demands of power infrastructure.
Electric vehicles (EV) are becoming commonplace throughout the UK and further afield, with a number
of initiatives in place to drive up use of low carbon electric vehicles in a bid to reduce emissions
and increase efficiencies. As the demand for EV increases, there becomes a growing need for the
implementation of accessible charge points, meaning a step-change in urban infrastructure is required,
therefore the demand for power distribution solutions are on the up.
With this in mind Lucy Zodion is able to meet a number of EV power distribution requirements to
accommodate almost all specifications, configurations and styles. We have an in-house Design Centre
dedicated to the design and manufacture of bespoke power distribution pillars and have extended
our service to EV power distribution enclosures, developing solutions to meet growing demand. The
benefits of our service include:

Reaching the streets with on-street connection products
As plans for the ‘Road to Zero’ become clearer, transport has been identified as a key focus to ensure
the nation is able to meet its net zero targets by 2050. As a result, a range of governmental initiatives
have been introduced to drive the uptake of electric vehicles. One of these initiatives is to make on-street
EV charging more accessible to residents without access to private charging facilities, with £2.5 million
funding to be made available for the provision of over 1,000 on-street electric car charge points.
On-street charging can be provided by either street side charge points, or via transforming existing street
furniture into charging hubs; such as lampposts. As a specialist in the street lighting industry for over 50
years, we have a wealth of knowledge in the electrical infrastructure and equipment necessary to provide
effective and safe illumination. This knowledge means that we can develop connected, adaptive and
reliable solutions to meet the growing demand for on-street EV charging.
Our on-street connection products enable EV charge point manufacturers to utilise existing
street lighting infrastructure and transform it into an EV charging facility that is both safe and
accessible.
The benefits of the solutions we offer to support on-street charging are:
• Lucy Zodion has distribution network operator (DNO) approval
throughout England, Wales and Scotland, which means our fused
products are compatible and compliant with most existing
streetlight infrastructure.
• Lucy Zodion’s fused street lighting solutions undergo rigorous in-
house and third party testing (KEMA) to ensure they meet industry
and safety standards
• The on-street EV connection solutions we develop are in line with
the IET Code of Practice for Electrical Vehicle Charging Equipment

On-Street Charging
A solution that fits
With a diverse range of solutions to meet various application requirements, our EV capabilities cater
for projects in the following areas:
Matching charge speed requirements
As EV charge points fall into the four main categories of slow, fast, rapid and super, there are a number of
electrical components required, depending on the charge speed specified.
We develop solutions considering the charge speeds each EV charge point is capable of, from fast to super,
to ensure you receive the most suitable and compatible option.

Fast
Fast EV charging points usually provide power from 7.4 kW to 22 kW and typically fully charge an Electric
Vehicle in 3-4 hours. They are often found in retail car parking facilities or on-street, where people have
more time to spare. Common fast connectors are a tethered Type 1 or a Type 2 socket, these provide
charge via a connector cable that is supplied with the vehicle itself.
We have a number of solutions to match a range of fast charging requirements, from supplying the
appropriate amount of power to a charging point, to ensuring street lighting infrastructure is capable
of supporting EV charging.

Rapid
Current Rapid AC chargers are rated at 43
kW, while most Rapid DC units are at least
50 kW. Our EV supply pillars support both
AC and DC charge points and have the
capacity to enable charging for the majority
of EVs to 80% in around 30-60 minutes
(depending on battery capacity). Rapid AC
devices use a tethered Type 2 connector,
and Rapid DC chargers are fitted with a
CCS, CHAdeMO or Tesla Type 2.
Super
Super or ultra-fast EV charging points are able to
provide up to 120kW of power. Our Super EV charging
supply solutions, feed power to EV charge points at
a maximum rated speed. This gives electric vehicles
that have the battery capacity, 80% of charge in
approximately 30 minutes.
