With a target market of convenience stores and condominiums, Superior Car Wash Systems has created the Charge-Vac-N-Go, a freestanding, unattended elevated tower unit combining consumer ease of car charging and vacuuming with 24/7 availability. The tower has cashless payment systems which can tie into a retailer’s existing business software, cutting the need for additional staff. It also has lighting and other protection to reduce unanticipated maintenance due to vandalism and collision.
“The EV market continues to grow and we see this combination tower unit as an excellent profit center for convenience stores or others” said Superior’s Martin Geller. “The Charge-Vac-N-Go can instantly turn unused curb space into a complete car care profit center,” he added.
The tower unit has an LED lighted canopy containing attention-grabbing Charge-Vac-N-Go graphics, or an operator can customize the tower with existing store branding. Island components, manufactured from 304 corrosion-resistant stainless steel, include a multi-stage vacuum, air pump and fast three-phase charger.
The island and canopy measure 114 inches long x 38 inches wide x 125 inches tall. An 18-inch base lifts components above the parking area. A round 18-inch base is available if an operator desires to mount a 52-inch vacuum or trash can separately. Eight-inch round, 4-foot tall bollards are available to further protect the tower from collisions. An optional aerial LED solar light and tower can provide additional security and light the surrounding parking area. Components can be purchased separately.
The vacuum can be equipped with a wand which will reach over and around a vehicle making interior cleaning easier for the consumer. The overhead wand also keeps the hose off the ground, alleviating potential tripping hazards. The multi-stage vacuum prevents clogging which reduces maintenance visits. Operators should check with their utility company for electric car charging costs.
Custom colors, including white, green, red, blue and yellow, and matching decals are available for the component tops, the tower header and base bumpers.
Each tower component offers credit card pay options which can connect to the retailer’s existing cash management system for ease of business operations. Cashless payments reduce the potential of theft and vandalism.
Financing options are available for qualifying operators.
Superior has been in the car wash industry for over 40 years manufacturing car washing equipment for both the individual car wash owner and developing custom systems for the automotive industry, truck and bus washes including wash bays, self-serve washes and fully automatic car washes.
