The Rolec BasicCharge/Classic Ground Mounting Base is a Rolec mounting accessory for BasicCharge pedestal installations.

GMCP0010 is listed by Rolec as the ground mounting base for the BasicCharge EV charging pedestal, making it a project accessory rather than a standalone electrical product. It is used where the pedestal position is being set out as part of a car park, workplace charging area, residential development or public charging bay. The accessory should be specified with the charger selection because the base position affects ducting, cable entry, bay marking and any surrounding protection. It is especially relevant where the installation is being planned before final surfacing or where the civil works package needs a defined base item for the BasicCharge pedestal.

What does GMCP0010 fit?

GMCP0010 fits the Rolec BasicCharge pedestal range. Rolec lists BasicCharge as a surface or root mountable EV charging pedestal with one or two Type 2 sockets, 7.4kW or 22kW output options, OCPP 1.6 integration, MID-approved metering and photocell-controlled LED amenity lighting. The ground base supports the physical installation of that pedestal family, so it should be selected only where the charger being installed is a compatible BasicCharge unit.

The customer-supplied product set also identifies the item for BasicCharge/Classic use. For import copy, the verified Rolec source supports the BasicCharge fit. Where an older Classic pedestal is involved, installers should confirm the final base requirement against the existing pedestal and site drawing before ordering, because legacy equipment can vary by project age and mounting arrangement.

When should the base be specified?

The base should be specified before the charger bay is set out. It is not just a finishing accessory because the mounting point affects charger alignment, cable route, fixing position and the way the bay is used. On a new site, the base can be included with the civil works package so that ducting, concrete, charger position and bay markings are coordinated. On an alteration project, the installer should check whether the existing surface and sub-base can accept the required pedestal arrangement.

BasicCharge is used in car parks, workplaces, development sites and public locations, so site conditions can vary widely. A charger at the head of a bay may need a different cable route and barrier position from a charger placed between spaces. The base should be located to keep the pedestal accessible for operation and maintenance, while still allowing vehicles to park and connect without cable strain.

How it supports a BasicCharge layout

The BasicCharge pedestal range includes smart, contactless payment, LCD and combined LCD payment versions. Those variants change the user interface and access method, but the bay still needs a suitable mounting arrangement. GMCP0010 keeps the mounting selection tied to the BasicCharge pedestal rather than treating the base as a generic steel item.

For public or workplace sites, the base should be considered alongside signage and physical protection. A marked EV bay may need a clear EV parking sign to reduce misuse, while a vulnerable charger position may need a protection barrier. Where the installation uses a BasicCharge pedestal with payment or RFID control, the base position should also allow users to approach the socket and interface without standing in a vehicle route.

Choosing the correct Rolec base

Rolec uses different mounting accessories across its EV charging ranges. GMCP0010 is the BasicCharge ground mounting base. GMHP0010 is the Hex pedestal ground mounting base. GMQR0011 is the Quantum pedestal ground mounting base. GMUC4080 is the ground mounting base for the UltraCharge 40 and UltraCharge 80 pedestal arrangement. GMTP0010 is for the Tap & Charge premium mounting pedestal.

Those codes should not be treated as interchangeable. The charger family should be identified first, then the matching base selected. The safest buying sequence is charger range, pedestal or post format, mounting base, protection barrier and signage.
