ClipperCreek Intros HCS Series EV Charging Stations for Multi-user Applications

ClipperCreek, a leader in the rapidly growing electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) market, has introduced the HCS Series with ChargeGuard.

According to the company, “The ChargeGuard is an affordable access control solution designed for fleet, workplace, multi-tenant, hospitality and residential charging applications.”

The ChargeGuard option, priced at an affordable $78, delivers reliable key-based access control for the Level 2, 240V ClipperCreek HCS Series product line which starts at $565. Company execs noted that the “combination, priced starting at $643, is a great value for an access controlled charging solution and unlike anything else available on the market.”

“The HCS with ChargeGuard is a robust and cost effective solution for companies who desire access control but do not want to pay high upfront hardware costs or ongoing network fees,” said Will Barrett, Sales Director for ClipperCreek. “ChargeGuard allows station owners to issue keys to restrict usage and control electric utility expenses.”

Here’s how simple it is to work: Plug the vehicle in, insert the key into the station and turn to start charging. The key can be removed and power will be available until the vehicle is disconnected. The key could also be left in place in the “on” position for open access charging.

There are a wide variety of applications for the ChargeGuard. Fleet managers can use it to restrict charging location to specific fleet vehicles for data gathering. Multi-tenant housing managers can use it to restrict charging to eligible residents. Commercial property managers can utilize it to offer charging for enrolled tenants.

“ClipperCreek’s constant innovation efforts have resulted in another value improvement, the ChargeGuard. Customers have been asking for a simple, cost-effective means to control charging station use and ChargeGuard is the perfect solution,” said Jason France, President and Founder of ClipperCreek.
