The new unit can also be specified as 7kW single-phase or 22kW three-phase to facilitate faster domestic charging. It incorporates a compact design, being 34 percent shorter and 45 percent narrower than the brand’s previous smallest unit – the award-winning A3, which was launched last year.
Users will still have the option to personalise their Andersen Quartz to suit their preferences, as with any other charger from the brand. They can choose from a palette of over 100 colour combinations for the fascia and body, ensuring the unit can blend in or stand out. There is also the option of a stylish Accoya wood or carbon front facia trim for an even more exclusive appearance.
The unit’s state-of-the-art electronics, created by the Andersen in-house R&D team, offer full compatibility with solar power and can make the most of low-cost electricity tariffs that enable users to ‘smart’ charge at a fraction of the cost of public charging.
The new unit can all be controlled through the refreshed Andersen app or via an optional display screen. The app also allows the user to track their energy consumption and expenditure, and schedule future charging sessions to minimise cost or environmental impact. The unit is hand-built at Andersen’s production facility in Bedfordshire and features highly robust and fully weatherproof cast-aluminium construction for quality and longevity. Production capacity has been more than doubled at Andersen’s facility to accommodate expected demand.
Over 70 percent of the components built into the new unit are manufactured in the UK, helping to cut down on the ‘air miles’ involved in production.
“As the EV market moves towards mass adoption, we are extending our product portfolio to meet the needs and expectations of the wider range of customers that are now looking to invest in a domestic charge point that offers style as well as functionality” said David Martell, CEO of Andersen. “We’ve made a significant investment in research and development and in our production facilities ahead of this launch, and we’re expecting the introduction of the Andersen Quartz to make the quality and style of Andersen home chargers available to greater numbers of discerning EV drivers.”
