DC Charging Stations

eVolve Rapid Master/Slave

Evolve Rapid 25 kW DC

The EVolve Rapid is a 25 kW DC charging solution consisting of bollard mounted and wall mounted DC charging stations rated to 25 kW each connected to a standard 400 V 40 amp AC three phase power supply. All electric vehicles capable of DC charging can take advantage of the full 25 kW and charge twice as fast compared to charging on an AC station. 

Credit Reader/EFTPOS Terminal

The master version of the Rapid bollard can be fitted with a credit card reader/EFTPOS payment terminal. A credit card reader/EFTPOS payment terminal is not available for the master Rapid wall mounted station at this point in time. Wall mounted slaves can be connected to a bollard mounted master. The EFTPOS payment system is provided by Ingenico/Advam and is certified for use in Australia.

Clustered solution for multiple charging stations 

Up to 6 slave Rapid DC wall boxes and bollards can be connected to a bollard mounted or wall mounted master Rapid. The slaves are connected to the master by ethernet CAT 6 cables routed to a factory fitted network hub in the master. There is an option to connect the master and slaves by wi-fi using a factory fitted access point installed in the Master.

The slave stations are displayed on the screen of the master charging station. Charging sessions on the slave stations are activated by selecting the appropriate socket from the screen on the master and authorising payment using the EFTPOS payment terminal on the master. All communication back to the OCPP network management system is via the master.

Existing Evolve Smart AC Stations can be incorporated as slaves into a Rapid DC charging cluster. Any Circontrol Raption DC charging station of 50 kW or more can operate as a master station to Rapid DC charging station slaves. Charging sessions on the slave stations are activated from the screen on the Raption master.

Features include:

  • Integrated contactless payment system( Credit Card Payment System)
  • Using a typical AC enclosure with a small size, eVolve Rapid is able to charge at 25kW in DC for any electric vehicle with fast charging, reducing its charge time by half or even two thirds, increasing user satisfaction.
  • A single modem in the Master unit can be used for remote connection and back-office system integration
  • The Master can operate up to 6 eVolve Rapid
    Slaves and/or 8 eVolve Slaves (max. 18 charging points including the Master) managing all charges and user authentication from a
    single point.
  • 8’’ daylight readable touchscreen to provide clear charging instructions (e.g.incorrect EV shift position to start the charge) and operating status (e.g. reserved chargepoint) in multiple language.
  • Combining Master-Slave is the best choice to minimise the hardware cost.
  • Developed with future-proof Raption 100
    technology to charge using a broad voltage
    scale (from 200 to 920 V), it is capable of
    charging both new small electric cars and heavy
    vehicles such as electric buses and trucks.
  • For car parks without OCPP backend system,
    standalone configuration offers a load balancing
    feature for AC chargers and user control
    through RFID.
 
VISION & MISSION STATEMENT

Connecting things, It’s all about people.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

POWER SUPPLY

The output of kW can be dialled down via a software configuration change if the power supply is inadequate for the rating of the station. The output of kW can also be load balanced across 2 sockets.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Optional Type A/B internal RCDS,
  • On-board Ethernet and 4G modem for networking,
  • IP54/IK10 Rating and,
  • Large enclosure for optional RCDs.

ALUMINUM AND ABS PLASTIC STRUCTURE

The charger’s housing, aluminum 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.
