What is the VCS One?

Power to You

The VCS One was developed to enable electricity from your home to be safely delivered over the footpath in front of your house, to your car when it’s parked in the street.

We gained approval from the City of Merri-Bek to conduct a trial group of installations with this product.

The core of the solution was a swivelling boom that is counterweighted and hinged, mounted on a slim post. The boom folded out effortlessly when needed, automatically lifting to a safe height above the footpath. When not in use, the boom folded back elegantly against the slim post.

The boom supported a fifteen metre EV charging cable which was supplied with the installation. Our standard offering was that the cable was designed to plug into a normal power point, which would be sufficient for most drivers, and keeps cost to a minimum.

Charging an EV from a power point can deliver up to 200km of range overnight, depending on the car. Most inner-city EV drivers don’t drive more than about 40km per day, so would only need to top up once or twice a week this way.

For drivers who required higher power charging, or the ability to fully recharge an EV overnight, we offered higher power options.
