Paxton Access’ Net2 access control software is being used in an innovative scheme to allow on-street charging of electric vehicles.


Electric transport is now a reality, but how do you re-charge your electric car batteries if away from home or have no access to a ground floor electricity supply?
Knightguard Security in Brighton, UK, partnered Park and Power to devise an innovative kerb-side re-charging unit featuring Paxton Access’ Net2 access control software. Users of any form of electric transport simply draw up alongside a re-charging unit, access the power supply by presenting a proximity token to the Paxton Access proximity reader on the unit, and plug-in. Users obtain a proximity token by pre-paying for the service.

The Paxton Access Net2 network access control system, the software behind the scheme, maintains a database of users, giving access to anyone who has pre-paid for the service. A full audit trail is available recording the history of every user. The system is monitored and managed centrally over the Internet from Park and Power’s offices in Brighton.

The system first went live in September for the Lewisday courier company in London and several London borough councils are expected to place orders imminently.
“This is the first installation of its kind anywhere in the world,” said its creator, Mark Knight of Park and Power. “It’s simple to install and operate and incredibly easy to use. In fact, it’s considerably easier and safer than re-fuelling on a petrol forecourt.”

“Access control is no longer simply about controlling access to buildings or rooms but is rapidly expanding into the service sector,” said Trish Bambury, Marketing Manager at Paxton Access.
