At Voltaic we are specialists in the installation of charging points for electric vehicles.

At Voltaic we are firmly committed to the decarbonisation of mobility and, in this sense,we specialise in the installation of all types of electric vehicle charging points. While reducing emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere is a major necessity, we are also aware that the grid is not sufficiently prepared to address this issue.

We believe in electric vehicles, as long as they go hand in hand with a generation system supplied by renewable sources. In this line, at Voltaic we have high quality universal charging points and also specific points for the best-selling brands.

Charging point

Interested in a charging point for your electric vehicle?

If you have an electric vehicle and you are interested in finding out how Voltaic manages the installation of a charging point, here we will answer all your questions. When making a customised proposal for a client, the main objective is to define the most appropriate charger, taking into account these elements:

1

The electrical system of the installation, which may be single-phase or three-phase.

2

The power contracted by the installation.

3

The technical data of the car, such as battery capacity, average fuel consumption per 100 km and autonomy of the car.

By analysing this data, we can resolve questions such as how long it will take for the battery to be fully charged, what differential and magneto-thermal protections it should include, among others.

Basic information on a charging point for electric vehicles

Charging point

An electric vehicle charging point is a grid-connected installation that transports electricity to the vehicle and is used to charge both electric and hybrid vehicles. These points can be in public areas or in private homes.

What types of charging are offered at charging points?

There are different types of electric charging for vehicles, which are:

  • Conventional refilling: Commonly done at home. This type of charging uses 16 A of intensity and the power usually ranges between 3.6 kW and 7.4 kW, depending on the charger and the contracted power of the house.

  • Semi-fast recharging: These points are usually found in companies, supermarkets, shopping centres, among others. It uses 32 A intensity and power ranging from 11 kW to 22 kW.

  • Fast recharging: Mainly located on roads, these recharges are always carried out in direct current (DC), which provides a power output of up to 50kW, for which connectors such as ChaDeMo or a CSS Combo must be used.

  • Ultra-fast recharging: Located in service stations or petrol stations, they have a power output from 150 kW.

What are the different types of electric vehicle connectors?

Depending on the car model and the type of charging, the most commonly used are the following:

  • Conventional plug or Schuko: This is the connector used in domestic sockets. It is valid for conventional charging.

  • CCS2 Combo 2: AC loads up to 44 kW (63A in three-phase at 400V) and up to 100 kW DC loads are possible.

  • Type 1 or Yakasi: this is a connector of Japanese origin, already specific for electric cars. This connector can charge at a maximum of 32 A in single-phase low voltage, with a maximum recharge power of 7.4 kW.

  • Type 2 or Mennekes: Allows loads from 16 A (single-phase) to 63 A three-phase loads, with AC power ratings from 3.7kW to 44kW.

  • CHAdeMO: Supports charging up to 50 kW of power at a continuous current of 125A.
