Below is a range of frequently asked questions covering most queries, each page has specific queries covered, whether that's product or service related.
What is PowerMe and how is it different from other EV charging companies?
PowerMe builds intelligent mobile and containerised EV charging infrastructure that operates independently of the grid. Unlike traditional chargepoint operators that require expensive ground works, grid connections and months of planning, PowerMe units are self contained battery systems managed by AI at cell level. They can be deployed in days rather than months and relocated as demand shifts. Think of it as infrastructure that goes where the vehicles are rather than hoping vehicles come to the infrastructure.
How do PowerMe chargers work without a grid connection?
Every PowerMe unit contains an integrated battery storage system that stores energy and delivers it to vehicles on demand. The batteries recharge from any available power source, whether that is mains electricity, a rapid charger, solar or generator. Our AI management platform monitors each cell individually and optimises charge and discharge cycles to maximise battery life and performance. The result is a charger that works anywhere regardless of grid availability or capacity.
What products does PowerMe offer?
PowerMe has three core products. FreeMe (PM 0.1)
is our containerised charging platform for permanent and semi permanent installations at sites like car parks, retail destinations and transport hubs. TitanMe (PM 0.2)
is a van mounted mobile charging unit for fleets, construction sites and events. MobileMe (PM 0.3)
is our compact recovery unit, essentially the electric petrol can, designed for roadside assistance operators responding to stranded EV drivers.
Do I need to buy a PowerMe unit outright?
No. PowerMe operates on a leasing model with zero capital outlay. A fixed monthly fee covers the hardware, AI management platform, maintenance and support. The battery remains our responsibility for the life of the contract. We also offer Energy as a Service for larger deployments where PowerMe funds, deploys and operates the infrastructure on your site with a revenue share arrangement. Visit our finance page
for more detail.
What battery technology does PowerMe use?
PowerMe uses a hybrid battery architecture combining Lithium Titanate (LTO) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) chemistries. LTO handles peak demand and rapid cycling with charge rates up to 4C, meaning a 50kWh battery can recharge in approximately 15 minutes. LFP provides bulk energy storage where weight and cycle speed are less critical. This hybrid approach delivers the best of both worlds: the operational speed of LTO for mobile units and the energy density of LFP for containerised installations. All backed by a 10 year warranty.
Where does PowerMe operate?
PowerMe currently serves the United Kingdom and European Union markets. We have active enquiries from operators across the UK and from Greece, France, Italy, Serbia and Croatia. Our expansion roadmap includes Canada and selected international markets over the next two to three years.
How long does it take to get a PowerMe unit deployed?
Lead times vary by product. FreeMe containerised units are typically 12 to 16 weeks from order. TitanMe mobile units are approximately 12 weeks. MobileMe recovery units are the fastest at around 10 to 12 weeks. Once on site, installation is measured in hours not weeks because there are no ground works, no grid applications and no planning delays.
