Nowadays, the concept of smart cities demands an innovative design for its urban equipment, especially for EVSE (EV Supply Equipment) due to its innovative aspect. With its stylised shape and modern lines, eVolve series meets this demand. In the same way, not only external design has been taken into account but also the daily conditions (both operational and environmental) EVSE have to withstand.

Its frontal key-locked door provides an easy access to the inside of the charger which results in a lower OpEx (Operating Expenditure) due to a quicker installation and service (preventive/corrective). Moreover, it allows the charger to be installed next to a wall, optimising the available space

About the charger’s housing, aluminium and ABS plastic have been combined in a robust structural design that provides protection to both mechanical stress and severe environmental conditions, increasing the charger lifespan and avoiding its replacement in just a few years

Clear charging instructions and plug status are shown using a backlight display, increasing user satisfaction, especially useful when the charger has been previously reserved by another user

eVolve series offers a flexible authentication, meaning that the user can either authenticate before or after connecting the cable to the EV. Additionally, the authentication process can also be disabled for a ‘plug & charge’ use mode

Accessibility for the disabled has also been considered, complying with international standards regarding the height of connectors/ display that facilitates its operation

eVolve series includes the necessary electrical protections not only to minimize the human safety risk of electrical shock but also to ensure the maximum uptime due to independent protections per connector

In terms of communication, either by its Ethernet port (by default) or 3G/GPRS modem (optional) the charger can be connected to a back-office system (by means of OCPP) obtaining benefits such as user management, billing, remote error diagnostic, etc.
