The INCH Duo AC charging station for electric vehicles has been renewed into an even more modular charging solution, providing greater freedom to choose the payment method that best suits your business.
From now on, you can select a suitable payment terminal for the INCH Duo, or swap it at any time without replacing the entire unit. The charging station can also be used without a payment terminal if card payment functionality is not needed. Versatile authentication and payment options support different use cases according to your business model, without compromises or costly upgrades.
Future-proof smart charging features
The upgraded INCH Duo is now fully ISO 15118-compliant and also partially supports the OCPP 2.0.1 standard, ensuring reliable performance now and in the future. ISO 15118 provides the foundation for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology and enables the Plug&Charge function, allowing automatic and secure identification, authorization, and billing. Thanks to bidirectional communication, ISO 15118 also prepares the system for charging operators to participate in maintaining the stability of the electricity grid.
The scalable design of the INCH Duo enables single-payment management in charging station groups, where one charging station serves both as a charging point and a payment terminal, significantly reducing operating costs for the charging infrastructure. The INCH Duo payment point is compatible not only with INCH’s own product family but also with “Mix & Match” systems composed of charging stations from other manufacturers.
You can pay for the charging with a credit card using the INCH Duo’s payment terminal.
Durable and smart charging solution for public use
The housing is made of stainless steel, and the charging station’s IP54 and IK10 ratings ensure excellent durability in all weather conditions. The charging station, consisting of two charging points and a large LCD screen, combined with versatile payment options, provides a smooth charging experience in demanding public environments.
When connected to a load manager or a building energy management system, the charging stations utilize dynamic load management, adjusting charging power according to the consumption of other electrical devices and preventing overloads. In systems with multiple charging units, power is intelligently distributed among all chargers based on the capabilities and priorities of the electric vehicles.
The INCH Duo is easy to install, and its modular components allow for quick on-site maintenance. The charging station’s OCPP compatibility enables immediate integration into any charging point management system.
