Vestel continues its drive into the UK electric vehicle charging market with the launch of the fully featured EVC10 EV charge station for small commercial installations.
25th April 2023: The second
Vestel-branded EV charger from the technology giant to launch in the UK in
2023, the EVC10, joins the smaller residential and small business EVC04. Both
models are designed and built in Europe, helping to reduce the carbon footprint
of EV charging through reduced transport, and will be unveiled at Fully Charged
Live South April 28th-30th.
As the EV charger manufacturer behind some of the biggest brand
names in Europe, the launch of Vestel’s own-brand products lowers the cost of
ultra-reliable charging solutions for the growing UK market.
The EVC10 is a robust 22kW charger, offering dual socket 2x 11kW
output from a single 3-phase feed, and is ideal for small businesses,
commercial venues, and car parks. Uniquely, the design allows up to super-fast
22kW charging from a single outlet (when used with a single vehicle) for
compatible vehicles such as Renault EVs. As standard, the sleek-looking charger
offers a 7in TFT LCD display, RFID card reader and 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity
for seamless ease of set-up and use via the Vestel Drive Green app.
Standout features of the EVC10 include its high charging
capacity, which enables it to charge two electric vehicles quickly and
efficiently. This makes it an excellent choice for businesses that need to
charge multiple vehicles in a short amount of time but are limited on real
estate or budget for multiple charger points. This charging station is
specifically designed to be space-efficient, making it an ideal choice for
businesses with limited space.
Comments, Matthew Lang, Managing Director of Vestel UK - “The
EVC10 launch is another milestone on Vestel’s route to becoming Europe’s number
one brand for affordable, reliable EV charging. This state-of-the-art charging
station comes packed with a range of features and benefits that make it an
ideal choice for small businesses looking to invest in electric vehicle
infrastructure. Thanks to our economies of manufacturing scale, those features
and our renowned reliability are now available to an ever-growing number of
businesses looking to integrate affordable charging solutions.”
For maximum installation flexibility, particularly in public
charge installations, EVC10 options include 4G/LTE connectivity, dual 3-phase
MID meters, tethered charge cables in 5m or 7m, and a floor mount post for when
wall-mounting is not practical.
Standard safety features include voltage/current sensing
cut-outs, over-temperature protection, surge/lightning protection and 6mA DC
leakage breakers. With class-leading IP and impact protection, the EVC10 is
also fully OCPP 1.6 compliant.
Vestel is one of Europe’s leading EV charging technology
suppliers, creating models from small residential vehicle chargers to
infrastructure-scale ultra-fast charging stations, and has the capacity to
produce over 700,000 units per year. With the majority of its electric vehicle
charger business as OEM provider to household name energy providers, forecourts
and vehicle brands, Vestel has built an unrivalled reputation for reliability
in EV charging.
The EVC10 leverages that expertise and reliability, integrating
it with a range of smart features that make it easy to use and manage. The
charger can be connected to a business's existing network, allowing remote
monitoring and management locally or remotely. This makes it easy to keep track
of usage, tailor charging to time-based tariff changes and ensure that the
charging stations are always available when they are needed.
The EVC10 is also designed to be highly durable, ensuring that
it can withstand the rigours of daily use in a business environment, including
daily knocks and UK weather.
The EVC10 and EVC04 will be launched at Fully Charged Live South
April 28th-30th and will be available to the trade from June.
