The charging station is at the heart of an EV charging system and plays a crucial role in both safety and performance. For installers, it is important to choose a charging station with the right features for the customer's needs. Safety features such as built-in RCDs and DC protection are necessary to detect and manage any fault currents.
Furthermore, the charging station should support adjustable power, often up to 22 kW, to suit private (home) and commercial installations (brf. & companies) there are customized chargers. Flexibility is also important, and many modern charge boxes offer the possibility of connection via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or mobile networks, which facilitates monitoring and remote control. Load and phase balancing is another important feature, especially for installations with multiple charging points, as this optimizes energy distribution and reduces the risk of overloading.
When selecting a charging point, it is also beneficial to choose one that is future-proofed, supporting integration with smart home systems and dynamic load management. This not only improves the user experience but also provides an energy efficient and sustainable solution
