multi-standard rapid charger
Siemens UK will showcase its proven solutions and growing reputation in the UK
Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure market at GreenFleet Scotland this week (25 and
26 April) at the Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh. Organised in association with
Transport Scotland, the Energy Saving Trust and Scottish Enterprise, the 2-day event
includes Evolution, Edinburgh’s Electric Vehicle Show.
On show, the company’s new range of industry leading, multi-standard rapid charging
points includes both modular DC and AC variants for all charging standards, including
CHAdeMO and CSC COMBO 2. For slow or fast charging, the AC charger with single
or dual outlets provides single phase 3.6 kW up to three phase 22 kW charging output
and can be floor standing, pole or wall mounted. Combining AC and/or DC fast charging
both modular DC 20kW and DC 45kW chargers provide charging times of just 20 and
40 minutes depending on EV type.
Since launching the new technology in 2013, Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire
County Council and Scottish Borders have selected Siemens UK as their preferred
supplier for the provision of AC and DC multi standard equipment and services.
According to Head of Electromobility Mark Bonnor-Moris, the EV infrastructure market is
now moving away from the initial wave of low power under-utilised on-street
equipment. ‘EV charging equipment manufacturers, drivers and infrastructure owners
are now demanding more powerful fast charging units that provide drivers and operators
with improved and easier access to enable greater range and increased flexibility. This
requirement for fast charging and improved access leads to the requirement for fully
networked solutions both at an energy/load management level and at customer access
level for increased payment options, availability status and reservations’, he said.
