The Rolec Tap & Charge Premium Ground Mounting Base is the ground base for the Tap & Charge premium mounting pedestal.

GMTP0010 is listed by Rolec as the ground mounting base for the premium mounting pedestal used with Tap & Charge. Tap & Charge is a remote contactless payment terminal for commercial and public EV charging locations. It can provide a contactless payment option for multiple Rolec EV chargepoints through a compatible chargepoint management system. The base is relevant when the terminal is being installed on the premium pedestal, rather than on a wall or the alternative mounting post. Because the terminal acts as a shared payment point, its physical position affects how drivers find it, how they move between charger and terminal, and whether the payment process is clear in a busy car park.

What does GMTP0010 fit?

GMTP0010 fits the Tap & Charge premium mounting pedestal. Rolec lists Tap & Charge as a remote contactless payment terminal for multiple EV chargers, with wall or post-mounted installation options and a premium mounting pedestal option. The ground base belongs to that premium pedestal route, not to every possible Tap & Charge mounting method.

The Tap & Charge accessory list also includes a mounting post and a plate for the mounting post. Those are separate routes from the premium pedestal. GMTP0010 should therefore be ordered only where the project specifically uses the premium mounting pedestal. If the installation uses the standard mounting post instead, the matching post base and plate requirements should be checked separately.

Planning the payment terminal position

A Tap & Charge terminal is not the same as a chargepoint socket. It is a shared payment interface, so its position should be selected from driver movement and site visibility. The terminal needs to be easy to find after a driver parks, but it should not force users to stand in a traffic lane or walk across active cable routes. On public or destination sites, the base position can influence whether the payment process feels clear and safe.

Rolec states that Tap & Charge works with Rolec OCPP-compliant chargepoints and communicates with the chosen back-office system where tariffs are configured by the operator. The payment terminal therefore needs to sit in a logical relationship to the group of chargers it serves. Designers should consider signposting, approach from each bay, accessibility, lighting and protection before fixing the ground base.

Using it with the premium pedestal

The premium mounting pedestal is one of the verified Tap & Charge installation options and is listed as conforming with PAS 1899. GMTP0010 is the corresponding ground mounting base for that pedestal. This makes the base part of the physical payment terminal package, especially on sites where a wall position is not available or would make the terminal harder to find.

Where several chargepoints share one payment terminal, the pedestal should be placed so it is visible but not vulnerable. A terminal hidden behind parked vehicles can slow driver use. A terminal too close to a turning area may need extra protection. The base should be set out with the pedestal, terminal height, cable route, user approach and any barrier positions agreed before works begin.

Pairing Tap & Charge with Rolec chargers

Tap & Charge is compatible with Rolec EV chargepoints in the verified Rolec product data, and it is designed for public car parks, shopping centres, leisure facilities and venues. The payment terminal can support multiple chargepoints, so it may be paired with AC pedestal ranges or commercial chargers depending on the site. The relevant internal route for the terminal is the Rolec Tap & Charge contactless payment terminal.

For Quantum projects where a chargepoint has integrated contactless payment, a separate Tap & Charge terminal may not be required. For charger groups that do not have payment hardware at each unit, Tap & Charge can be specified as the shared terminal. In either case, the base should be selected only after the payment model and charger grouping are confirmed.
