KemPower is amazing, especially when you consider how new the company is, their kit is so clever!

Love Kempower chargers. Especially the model with the 400/200kW options which are future proof. At least the near future. Great design and small footprint with the best cable management in the business.

I really enjoyed this demo and review 😁 Really well informed, a great walk-through of the highlights and benefits of the Kempower chargers at Sainsburys. Hope to see some more!

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it...

Great review here, nicely done... like how much detail you've gone into... especially on accessibility and ease of use 👍

[@mybmwcevolution1415]

Glad it was helpful!

At what point do you swipe your Nectar card, to get points like they give for dino juice?

Brilliant when charging at Weymouth Sainsbury’s on the abandoned Pod Points I saw surveyors doing work in the surrounding spaces, I hope a similar hub will be installed here as we have lost of single or dual chargers locally but not larger scale rapids. Wave of the future 🚙

[@FoxInClogs]

Thanks for the video. It's interesting to see what new stuff's being rolled out in the UK.
One question: It looks like anyone can go up to the charger and maliciously stop the session. Is there anything to prevent this, like swiping your card/RFID after hitting the stop button?

You forget to mention it also takes a £60 retention fee and it can take days to get this back also they are the most expensive chargers about at 75p kW, far too expensive!!

[@Lewis_Standing]

£75 isnt it?

[@yurikislytsia8596]

​@@Lewis_Standingthis is my biggest grange. At 3x residential energy cost, this is an emergency only option especially if you have Tesla supercharger access at half the price.
Price has to come down to about 50p per kwh for price parity with average ICE car buying petrol

[@jordanmaxwell6920]

Toooo expensive

[@SustainableGal]

How do you expect them to pay off the infrastructure? I agree, but each stall & high power module is like £30k++

[@AndrewTSq]

cheaper with ice car with these prices, but i guess its not a charger you use every day. very clean charger and love the qr code

[@SustainableGal]

@@AndrewTSq you'd be surprised how much money goes into fuel refinery, transport & final delivery via pumping. The infrastructure costs allot more than your average Gridserve electric super hub

[@kjh789az]

I;d expect a discounted rate to encourage EV drivers to shop at Sainsbury;s. This is full price including the Tory 20% VAT addition.

[@SustainableGal]

@@kjh789az again, infrastructure, £30k ++ per stall
