In the face of dwindling fossil fuels and increasing climate change, electric cars have been promoted as the future of transportation, but one thing has stood in the way of this vision – the time it takes to charge an electric car. Fortunately, electric vehicle charging stations have become considerably more advanced in recent years, ensuring quality energy and a rapid charge time. Here’s how energy efficient technology is making electric charging stations a fast-growing and exciting industry.
How Much Electricity Do Electric Cars Require?
Like petrol and diesel vehicles, electric vehicles differ in terms of their fuel capacity and fuel efficiency. A more efficient vehicle can travel further, but a larger capacity vehicle will require more energy to fill its batteries. For example, the pure electric Hyundai Ioniq (2019) can travel around 200 kms on a fully charged 28 kWh battery pack, while the Nissan Leaf Plus (2019) can get around 365 miles on a fully charged 62 kWh battery pack.
Bigger battery packs mean a longer charge time, but the one thing that does make a real difference is using advanced electric vehicle charging stations with energy efficient technology. The better quality the charging station, the faster electric vehicles will charge up. Since this is one of the biggest concerns for consumers, high-tech electric vehicle charging stations are an essential investment if you want to position your business for success.
Rapton Quick Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
These industry-leading charging stations make use of the latest energy efficient technology and charging technology to make recharging an electric vehicle faster and more convenient for commuters. Utilizing the innovative CHAdeMO (charge and go) plug, COMBO CCS protocols and Mode 3 AC charging, these units use trademarked fast charging technology to deliver quality power for impressive results. Low-range electric cars of around 120 km capacity can charge in less than 30 minutes, making it ideal for top-ups and partial charging.
The Rapton 22 kW Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
A similarly-advanced charging station, the Rapton 22 is designed for use in destination locations where consumers expect to spend less than 30 minutes. It offers simultaneous charge, a touchscreen with 3G connectivity (for communication and remote management), connect and go functionality, CHAdeMO certification and a slim, attractive external design. Designed to be placed in malls, airport car parks, cinemas and suburban/urban areas, it offers rapid, state-of-the-art energy efficient technology and high quality power at power ratings of up to 22 kW.
