The landscape of the EV charging industry has transformed significantly in the past years. Not too long ago, public charging stations typically hosted a single charger, dispensing a constant power supply to one vehicle at a time. Even in stations with multiple chargers, each offered the same power to all EVs, regardless of the vehicle type or the charge required. As EV adoption skyrockets – with the number of electric vehicles globally reaching over 16.5 million in 2021, triple the count from three years ago – this method of static charging is no longer viable. The future of EV charging demands more efficient power distribution, leading to the adoption of dynamic power in all our SETEC POWER products.
So, why choose dynamic power?
Traditional static charging systems distribute power evenly but not optimally among EVs, often leading to extended charging times and underutilization of installed DC power. This creates an inefficient charging scenario for drivers and results in additional expenses for Charging Point Operators (CPOs) due to wasted idle power.
Contrarily, dynamic power management customizes power distribution based on each EV’s specific needs. It intelligently allocates power considering vehicle charging curves, reducing charging times, optimizing power grid connections, and making efficient use of the DC power investment. Consequently, this system offers a superior charging experience for users and cost-effectiveness for CPOs.
Incorporating dynamic power in our solutions
At SETEC POWER, we prioritize dynamic power distribution, embedding it into our products along with additional management features. To future-proof your investment, we allow for system expansion by adding more modules as per the increase in demand. Customers can start with a smaller system and then scale it up as their charging capacity grows. Moreover, we ensure all our new chargers are compatible with vehicles of all nominal battery voltages.
Dynamic charging tailored for your needs
We offer a variety of power distribution modes, allowing customers to choose the most suitable one based on their specific circumstances. The most popular one is the democratic mode, where power is evenly split among all active charging points, perfect for situations where charging time isn’t a constraint.
However, in situations where time matters, the arrival priority mode might be a better fit. Here, the EVs that arrived first receive the most charging power, and once fully charged, the released power is distributed to the remaining vehicles. This mode is ideal for scenarios demanding shorter charging times, like at rest stops.
SETEC POWER’s DC fast charging station can be customized to meet varied demands.
Opting for dynamic charging for a greener future
With substantial benefits to EV drivers and CPOs, dynamic charging’s heightened efficiency makes it an ideal choice for a world progressively adopting electric vehicles. We, at SETEC POWER, have designed our charging solutions with dynamic charging at their core. We are prepared to collaborate with our customers to further develop our dynamic charging feature to cater to the burgeoning EV market, keeping our customers at the forefront of this electric revolution.
