A new AC charging station has reportedly been released by ChargePoint throughout Europe, as per electrive.com. Due to its modular design’s versatility and scalability, the CP6000 was developed for business customers. Its first customer is the leading EV charging infrastructure supplier, RAW Charging.
The CP6000 series hardware supports a wide range of configurations via connectors, cable management, branding, display, or shuttering alternatives.
According to ChargePoint, the CP6000’s modular design makes it easier to enable field replacements and service while providing cutting-edge sensors for improved diagnostics and support. Remarkably, all customer-facing information is available in multiple languages.
Furthermore, ChargePoint cites the integrated network software, station hardware, and customer support as the reason the CP6000 is its most adaptable and reliable global AC charging solution.
The CP6000 has also been built to work with all the different power grids and regulations across Europe.
For instance, the CP6000 complies with the UK government’s mandate that all AC stations 7.1kW and higher must support contactless payments. It also offers AC charging with a 3.7 to 22kw per port adjustable output for single- or three-phase electricity.
It is worth noting that its software platform offers the following features as per the report:
- real-time visibility into revenue
- energy costs and driver details
- control over pricing and driver access
- actionable reporting with over 35 pre-built charts and reports
It also features strong energy-saving tools, on-station video messages, and more than 40 turnkey API connectors. Noably, the most recent Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 2.01 is supported by the CP6000.
“EV charging needs are universal, even if what and how we drive varies by geography. The CP6000 has been designed across our R&D facilities in North America and Europe to cater to the charging needs of businesses, fleets and EV drivers,” Bill Loewenthal, ChargePoint’s Chief Product Officer, stated.
Bruce Galliford, CEO at RAW Charging, asserted, “This year, we’ll be putting in four new sites per working day, and when you’re doing that, you want it to work flexibly and at scale.”
In the majority of ChargePoint operating nations, the CP6000 is currently available for order. That said, the business instructed interested parties to get in touch with their regional sales representative or distributor directly.
