Project Background
A car dealership needed a powerful yet compact charging solution to serve both customer vehicles and the company’s own electric cars. The charging station had to be energy-efficient, user-friendly, and capable of fast charging in the dealership’s parking area.
Charging Solution for Customers and Company’s Own Electric Cars
A fast charging station was installed in the dealership’s parking lot, providing up to 50 kW of charging power for a single vehicle and 2 x 25 kW simultaneous charging. This ensures that both customers and employees can charge their vehicles efficiently, even when multiple EVs require charging at the same time.
With a charging system’s overall efficiency of 97.5%, energy loss is minimized to just 2.5%, leading to significant cost savings on electricity consumption.
The compact and space-saving design allowed the charging station to be placed in the outdoor parking area without obstructing parking or traffic flow.
To improve usability and durability, a cable management system was included, keeping the charging cables organized and protected. This enhances user convenience and extends the lifespan of the cables.
For seamless charging management and payment, the system was integrated with an external operator service, enabling users to handle charging via the eParking mobile app. The app allows for easy and fast charging sessions without the need for RFID tags or card payments. Employees and customers can start and stop charging directly from their mobile devices, making the process smooth and effortless.
Summary
With the new HYC50 charging station, the dealership’s customers and employees can charge their vehicles quickly and conveniently. The energy-efficient solution reduces electricity consumption and operational costs, making it a smart long-term investment. The well-designed and compact system ensures that the charging infrastructure will serve the dealership effectively for years to come.
