At Elite Markings Ltd, we are proud to support the green revolution across the South West. We recently headed to the historic market town of Totnes, Devon, to provide the finishing touches to a brand-new electric vehicle (EV) charging installation.
As more drivers switch to electric, having clear, professional, and compliant charging bays is essential for local businesses and public car parks. Our latest project ensures that Totnes remains at the forefront of sustainable travel.
Durability Meets Design: MMA Paint Technology
For this project in Totnes, we knew the surface would need to withstand constant use. EV charging points are high-traffic areas, and standard paints can often wear thin under the friction of turning tyres and heavy cable usage.
To ensure a long-lasting finish, our team used Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) paint. MMA is a cold-applied, ultra-durable plastic marking material known for its incredible “hard-wearing” properties.
- Extreme Longevity: MMA paint is designed to last years longer than traditional thermoplastic or water-based paints.
- Rapid Cure Time: Even in the unpredictable Devon weather, MMA cures quickly, allowing the bays to be reopened for use almost immediately.
- Vibrant Visibility: We used high-contrast greens and whites to ensure the charging points are easily identifiable from across the car park.
Professional Finishing for New Installations
The project followed the fresh installation of two state-of-the-art charging points. Once the hardware was in place, Elite Markings Ltd stepped in to define the space. We provided:
- Precision Outlining: Ensuring the bays are perfectly sized for modern electric vehicles.
- The “EV” Iconography: Professional stencilling that clearly communicates the bay’s purpose, preventing non-electric vehicles from blocking the chargers (ICE-ing).
- Safety Hatching: Clear borders to ensure safe access for drivers handling charging cables.
