CASE STUDY | EVSE | KFE Ltd and Cowling Electrical Services on their way to carbon neutrality
KFE Ltd are switching to electric vehicles and CTEK’s EV chargers to diminish their carbon footprint. At the same time are Cowling Electrical Services recommending CTEK’s chargers, because of the easy installation and the well-made product.
KFE Ltd is a leading supplier for high-quality and efficient frying ranges in the UK. Their frying ranges are being used by award winning fish and chip shops across the UK. The sales team are constantly travelling and have historically been using BMWs fueled by diesel. The team are now switching to Tesla Model 3s.
Paul Williams, Managing Director at KFE Limited, said “We sell the most efficient frying equipment in Europe and, as an environmentally conscious brand, the move to electric motoring is a natural step for us. We have been calculating our carbon footprint and this year, with offsets, we’re pleased to say that we are going to be carbon neutral.”
The CTEK Chargestorm Connected 2 dual charger allows you to charge two cars at the same time. KFE Ltd have installed the CC2 at their head office and showroom and explain that their sales team can have an almost fully charged car if they are on site for a two-hour meeting.
Nik Williams, sales manager at KFE, is driving a Tesla as part of the company’s drive towards carbon neutrality. And it makes economic sense too. He said “The company is committed to carbon neutrality, and a big part of the impact of that is vehicles. From a personal perspective, I am saving a lot of money, and it is saving the company a lot of money as well. We are paying almost a quarter of the amount on electric as we did for diesel.”
The CC2 is linked wirelessly through the internet to CTEK’s Charge Portal. It allows you to track the use of electricity and who is using it and also separates from the electrical bill for the entire building.
Robert Cowling, Managing Director of Cowling Electrical Services said, “The installation went fantastic, and it ticked all of the boxes for what we needed.”
