Charging Point Protection Bollards

About Charging Point Protection Bollards

Pairing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations with protective bollards and barriers is critical for safety, as well as for protecting the surrounding urban environment and minimising costly repairs. This is especially true in compact urban areas and at service stations, where costly infrastructure is more densely built - and where an accident can have more severe consequences. 

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 point protection bollards are normally deployed in pairs at the end of charging bays, reducing the risk of damage to charging points and vehicles. 

Charging protection bollards come in a variety of styles. Hooped barriers are the most common, and are available in many different lengths, which is useful for protecting multiple bays. Stainless steel bollards and corner hooped barriers are also popular in environments such as service stations and multi-storey car parks.

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 the importance of well-designed, durable protection methods.
