Charging Point Protection Bollards

Charging Point Protection Bollards

Charging point protection bollards are an excellent way to not only guard charging stations from damage, but improve visibility. Coming in a range of colours and heights to suit a variety of locations, these bollards are normally deployed in pairs. They feature retro reflective banding and can be supplied in a bolt-down or cast-in format, allowing for easy installation. By implementing a two-bollard system, charging points can be protected from stray vehicles without impairing pedestrian access.

  • About Charging Point Protection Bollards

    Pairing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations with protective barriers and bollards is critical to the safety of those in the area, as well as to protecting the surrounding urban environment and minimising costly repairs. This is especially true in compact urban areas and at service stations, where infrastructure is more densely built, and more costly, and where an accident can have more severe consequences on residents’ safety and health. As of April 2024, around 20% of EV chargers are faulty, often due to vehicular damage, highlighting the need to protect them with bollards.

    For charging point protection, bollards are a surefire way to protect charging infrastructure. When installed at the end of charging bays, they can take the brunt of force of unwary or malicious motorists who might have otherwise damaged the charging point, reducing damage to both the vehicle and to the charging point. By acting as an EV charger barrier, bollards are a cost-effective method of keeping motorists safe while limiting damage to car park infrastructure.

    Charging protection bollards come in a variety of styles. The most common type is hooped barriers, which are available in many different lengths—useful when protecting multiple bays. Other popular types are stainless steel bollards, and corner hooped barriers. These are well-suited to a range of environments, from service stations to multi-storey car parks, and when cast into the ground, offer the strongest protection.

    As the use of electric vehicles continues to rise, the use of these charging points will only continue to grow, increasing the likelihood and number of collisions, and, thus, the importance of well-designed, durable protection methods.

    Getting The Best Charging Point Protection Guards For You

    Before choosing the best charging point protection bollards for your space, consider the following factors to ensure they meet your needs:

    Fixing Method

    Consider bolt-down and cast-in installation options for your bollards. Cast-in options are more structurally robust but may inflict more significant damage on the ground when a collision occurs.

    Reflectivity & Visibility

    In what kind of environment will the EV charger protection be installed? Consider the level of reflectivity needed between a car park and a town centre, for example.

    Maintenance Considerations

    Our charging point protection posts are made of tough, durable materials such as stainless steel, but to extend their lifespans further, ensure they undergo regular maintenance and cleaning. This will keep them looking and functioning like new for years.

    Material

    What type of damage will your EV charger receive in its location? Consider flexible bollards for accidental damage, as this is less likely to have an impact on the electric vehicle involved in the collision.

    Complimentary Hazard Management Products

    Should you combine your EV parking protection bollards with other hazard mitigation products? EV charging point protection works best with multiple fail safes, consider investing in other wheel stoppers and signage to reduce the probability of damaged infrastructure to a minimum.
