Andersen teams up with Renault to supply designer home charging points
Mobilize, the mobility and financial services arm of Renault Group, has signed a deal with UK charge point brand Andersen EV, giving buyers of Renault, Alpine and Dacia EVs the option of a fully installed Andersen Quartz home charger for a fixed price of £999. Cars included in the deal are part of Renault's rapidly expanding electric line-up such as the Renault 5, Renault 4, the Scenic, Megane, Alpine A290 and Dacia Spring. Buyers get the option of the designer 7kW Andersen Quartz charging unit, in a single colour configuration, fully installed at their home. The cost can be paid upfront or bundled into the vehicle's finance agreement, making the premium charging solution more accessible. As well as looking considerably more stylish than your average EV charging point, the Andersen Quartz is equipped with smart technology, including full integration with home solar panel systems and compatibility with low-cost overnight electricity tariffs. This allows drivers to charge their vehicle for as little as 7p per kWh, massively reducing running costs compared to public charging or standard electricity rates. Each unit is supplied with a comprehensive three-year warranty, with the option to upgrade to Andersen's market-leading seven-year guarantee. Rosa Aguirre, COO of Mobilize UK, says 'Andersen EV has a fantastic reputation for its innovative products and exceptional service, so are the perfect charging solution partner for Mobilize. Together, we can provide Renault Group customers with a premium charging experience that complements the cutting-edge technology, usability and unique design that are synonymous with Renault, Alpine and Dacia electric vehicles.' Andersen's chief executive David Martell adds that 'the Andersen Quartz unit represents the latest evolution of our product line-up, combining cutting-edge functionality with pioneering design. We look forward to supporting Mobilize in enhancing the customer journey through quality, design-led EV charging solutions.'

Andersen launches its cheapest ever EV charger wallbox
Award-winning home charge point maker Andersen has just launched a new cut-price electric car charger, putting it into battle with some of the cheapest charge points available in the UK. The new Andersen Quartz charger costs from £685 – a £310 saving over Andersen's previous cheapest charging unit, the £995 Andersen A3. The price of the new charger puts it up against popular chargers from some of the major energy suppliers including Octopus and Next. Andersen has become famous for its design-led EV chargers that can be personalised to match their surroundings, and the Quartz is no different. It's available in over 100 colour combinations for the facia and main body of the unit, or customers can also choose from Accoya wood or carbon front facia trim. The Quartz has been designed and developed in the UK, and is hand-built at Andersen's factory in Bedfordshire. It's made from fully weatherproof cast-aluminium and comes with a seven-year warranty. Installation is taken care of by Andersen's own network of EV-driving installers. Andersen says that its new Quartz charger is fully compatibility with solar power and can be used with the latest low-cost electricity tariffs from suppliers that mean charging can cost as little as 6.7p per kWh overnight rather than the 27p per kWh that is the current electricity price cap figure. The new unit can be ordered as a tethered unit with its own cable or as a socketed unit where owners can use their own charging cable. It's compatible with the most common 7kW single-phase domestic charging or 22kW three-phase for faster charging. And, of course, there is an app that lets you schedule charging and monitor your energy usage and cost.
