Bender UK says it is penetrating the electric vehicle (EV) market further with the launch of the Chargespot Berlin – ‘an innovative smart commercial electric vehicle charge station’ manufactured by Berlin-based Bender Group company, Ebee.
The company said: “This Mode-3 electric vehicle charging station is a safe, fast charging solution designed to mount on streetlight columns, street furniture, and walls. It meets all regulatory standards, including ISO 15118, for a wide range of electric vehicles, is totally flexible in terms of siting, and how the operator collects payment, and has a power rating of up to 22 kW, although other options are available.”
Inside is a compact Bender integrated charge controller (CC612), launched in
2017, and sold separately to companies developing their own charge stations. The CC612 incorporates a power supply, contactor, charging socket, IEC 61851 Mode-3 commercial charge controller, and remote access for software updates and monitoring. It includes payment options such as an employee-coded RFID user interface and a credit card facility. The charge station links to the customer’s billing mechanisms to offer a universal access system, compatible with different bespoke ‘back-end’ software.
Lee Slater, Business Manager at Bender UK, said: “The Chargespot Berlin is a technology game-changer for Bender UK, enabling us to offer a complete solution for those requiring commercial EV charging solutions.”
