One of the fundamental misconceptions about
our products are that it's just a pretty box.
We are far more than that.
A charge points is a
mission-critical item in your life.
It's used every day to power your
vehicle to go about your life
The first point about our products is reliability.
Right down to the way we build our
enclosures , how waterproof they are, the
quality of the electronics it's all designed
to make sure it works day in, day out.
And a charge point should last.
It shouldn't be something that
you dispose of in two years time.
We want our products to grow with our customers.
And when new technology comes
along, our boxes are upgradable.
Making it out of metal, one thing it
looks great and the finish is really
good, but you've got that great longevity.
On the A2 we have sheet metalwork for a
lot of the core and the wall bracket and
most importantly, for the side curves.
We use stainless steel because it doesn't rust.
It's very strong, it doesn't flex.
And then when it's painted, it's
got a beautiful finish to it.
We chose nylon coating because it's very robust,
it's nontoxic and comes from renewable materials.
Our electronics and PCBs
are all designed in house.
Our manufacturing's done in the UK.
There's a real reason for that.
It's not the cheapest, but I can guarantee
the supply chain that all the parts
that we specify, are the correct parts
to those correct quality standards.
Our circuit boards are manufactured by
our supplier in the UK and that supplier
uses a pick and place robot to put all
the surface -mount components, which are
the very tiny components on the board.
It looks like a mini world,
you know, thousands of tracks.
These are in multilayered
board with a lot of complexity.
It feels like a mini city.
It looks like something out of Tron.
Cable is a very unloved utilitarian item.
We had to find a cable that would be
able to flex around the corners in
the cable sloton the A2 without being
damaged over an extended period of time.
And if we don't unwind it completely and
the cables are stacked on top of each other,
that generates heat in a charge so the
cable needs to be able to sustain that heat.
We looked around for the cables from suppliers
all over the world, and we couldn't find
anything that would meet the specification.
So we went back to the drawing board
again with a supplier in the UK and
designed our own cable in- house.
It's easy to use.
It makes winding into the
box very straightforward.
It's all about user experience.
We worry ourselves internally about
making sure we deliver this on its safety,
regulatory and longevity standards.
Konnect is a living piece of software
being constantly developed by our team.
The electronics and the software is an ecosystem.
When we upgrade Konnect, you're
getting more from your hardware too.
The ANDERSEN way is about doing things properly.
That's from product design to dealing with
customers, to doing an install correctly.
Do it properly.
Make the customer feel delighted.
It's not just a pretty box.
It's got real depth behind it and
everything inside that box I believe
is the best quality it can be.
