Before purchasing ev charger station , we should know the policy , Vehicle interface standards & communication protocol, Main elements of installation public charging station infrastructure .
1.The Main policies you should know
1) Financial subsidies and incentive policies
Many countries and local governments provide financial subsidies or incentives for commercial ev charging station installation & operation.
2) Electric vehicle charging station installation permission
Usually, install an electric car charging station need to apply permission, and some require land use permission.
3)Electricity & grid policy
Understand Electricity access, electricity price agreements and power supply. Ensure that ev charging station can access the grid.
4)Communication network policy
Payment, monitoring & data transmission of ev charger station always require communication network access licenses.
5)Building safety and fire safety policies
The construction and operation of car charge station need comply with local fire safety regulations, and may require building safety and fire safety permission.
6)Environmental protection policies
Some countries may require environmental impact assessments and environmental protection permission.
2.The main things about purchasing electric car charging station
1)Import policies and product certification
– Understand local import policies, apply for necessary import permission, and pay relevant tariffs or value-added taxes.
-What certifications are required to import ev car charger. Such as CE for Europe and UL for the United States.
2)Vehicle interface standards and communication protocol
Every country adopts different vehicle interface standards (such as GB/T, CCS1, CCS2) to ensure that e charge station is compatible with local vehicles. What communication protocol is used ? Many countries use OCPP .
3.Main elements of installation public charging station infrastructure
1)Site selection
-It should be high traffic flow and high density of electric vehicles, such as parking lot of shop center, highway service areas.
-Apply license of electric vehicle charger station installation
-Site foundation construction and providing enough passage and parking space.
2) Electricity Power access and distribution system
-Electricity Power capacity assessment: expand electricity power capacity if need.
-Transformers, distribution cabinets and other related equipment to ensure the stability and security of power supply.
-Cable laying: Cable laying from the distribution point to the charging pile.
3)Ev charge station installation
-Purchase ev charge station according to expected user needs, power, interface standards (such as CCS, GB/T), quantity, etc.
-ev vehicle charging station installation include ev charging infrastructure, cable grounding, etc., to ensure that the equipment is installed firmly and meets safety regulations.
-Debugging and test: Debug &test evse charger to ensure that all functions are normal and pass the relevant acceptance standards.
4)Communication and network facilities
-Build a communication network between evse charging station and management platforms to support payment, monitoring, data transmission and other functions. Usually requires optical fiber connection, 4G/5G network, etc.
-Data management system for real-time monitoring of the operating status of ev charger, user management and data analysis.
5) Security and monitoring system
-Install lightning protection devices and grounding systems.
-Install security facilities such as cameras and alarms to prevent damage and theft.
6) User service facilities
-Guidance and identification system: Set up clear signs and guidance system to help users quickly find charging stations and charging piles.
-Waiting area and convenience facilities: Provide users with rest areas, awnings, and lighting facilities to improve user experience.
7) Firefighting and emergency facilities
-Firefighting equipment: set up fire extinguishers, fire hydrants and other facilities to ensure timely handling when a fire occurs.
-Emergency power supply: Equipped with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to maintain basic charging services and monitoring system operation when the power grid fail.
