- 3 Ocular IQ Wallbox 22kW chargers
A dealership has a charging problem most sites do not: the vehicles being charged are not the staff's, they are stock and customer handovers, and they have to be ready on the hour they are promised.
Ocular commercial chargers were installed to support the incoming e-Transit and EMAC range, so the dealership can prepare vehicles for delivery and support customers after it.
The dealership already had a quote of $27,000 from another provider. We came in more than $10,000 under it, with every part of the job done by our own team and no subcontractors.
There are three chargers: one in the showroom for display stock, one in the delivery bay and one in the workshop, about 35 to 40 metres from the main switchboard. The delivery bay and workshop chargers have 10 metre cables, so cars can be charged across several bays without being moved.

- Ocular IQ Wallbox 7kW with Exploren software
Step4's staff used electric vehicles for work, which left the business balancing the cost of public charging against the difficulty of reimbursing home charging fairly. Other providers had quoted over four thousand dollars.
The answer was two parts. Workplace charging for the hours the vehicles were on site, and a software enabled portable charger with its own SIM connectivity, RFID authentication and automatic session recording for the hours they were not.
Every session logs the start and finish time, the energy consumed and the user, so home charging can be reimbursed on evidence instead of an estimate. The result was lower installation cost, less spend on public charging, and more flexibility for staff.

- Ocular DC fast charger
An emergency fleet is the clearest case for DC there is. A vehicle that has just come back has to be able to go out again, and an eight hour charge is not an option at any price.
DC fast charging was installed at the depot so turnaround is measured in the time it takes to change over, not the time it takes to charge.
