AC charging is the most cost-effective and widely used solution for electric vehicles. It is ideal for locations where vehicles are parked for extended periods – for example, at home, at work or in (semi-)public car parks. By utilising the existing electricity grid, AC charging is cost-effective and flexibly scalable.
Discover smart solutions for your AC charging station – whether for private, commercial or (semi-)public applications. With Bender Charging Electronics, you can charge reliably, flexibly and cost-effectively.
The requirements for charging infrastructure vary depending on the location:
1. Commercial charging
2. Private charging (home charging)
3. Semi-public charging
4. Public charging
Whether the requirements are simple or complex, Bender supports manufacturers and operators with flexible, safe and future-proof solutions for every challenge.
A modern AC charging station performs key functions and is usually integrated into a corresponding ‘ecosystem’. Whilst the interfaces vary depending on the scenario, there are still basic functions that always apply.
Communication and Interfaces
Electrical safety and standards
Regardless of the scenario, electrical safety and compliance with regulatory requirements are indispensable. This includes protection against fault currents and the reporting of faults – these basic functions are essential for all charging stations.
Our platform offers a modular hardware and software solution for the straightforward development of AC charging stations.
It can be flexibly adapted to different applications and markets thanks to mutually compatible devices and firmware updates.
Mechanical standardisation reduces costs and enables the integration of other functions as a central, scalable solution.
The modular software solution ensures that any new functions required can be added at a later date
The main components of our platform solution: HMI145, ICC1314 and IPM1401 – the foundation for your AC charging solution:
This combination meets all requirements for commercial and semi-public charging points and is already being used successfully in numerous projects.
The Power Module is interchangeable, and the charge controller is available with various interface options. For other charging scenarios, alternative HMIs or energy meters can be used, or omitted entirely – the modular design of the Charging Electronics platform offers maximum flexibility for this purpose.
Depending on the configuration you choose, Bender hardware is better suited to smaller wall boxes, single charging points or larger dual charging points.
