Overview Elektrobay® product solution

The charging stations deployed by ThePluginCompany are already successfully operational since 2006 throughout Europe, Middle-East and Asia and have by far proven their sustainability as well as their reliability and quality with over 1 million operating charging hours with a 100% safety track record! The charging stations have won several European Greenfleet awards for Innovation and Design.

The Elektrobay product family consists of the following charging stations (available today):

 1) Home or workplace charger (mode 3 type 2)

 

This home or workplace charger (wall mounted version) is the most safe and robust charger with the best price quality ratio available on the market to recharge your EV safe at home or at work. 

 

 

10 reasons why the home or workplace charger is an absolute "must have" to charge your car in all safety and comfort:

  • 70% of Belgians have a parking spot or a garage at home.
  • Secure charging with a clear conscience: Charging can only take place when the vehicle is safely connected.
  • Easy to use: no additional cable unloading, plug-in and start charging, plug-out and and stop charging automatically.
  • LEDs clearly indicate the status.
  • A cloking key protects this charger from unauthorized access;
  • Compatible with mode 3 charging for all EVs.
  • Safe install: separate power cable and RCBO.
  • Smart grid ready and able to recharge at 32A/220V/7 kW.

  • Best Price / quality ratio on the market.
  • Robust housing in painted stainless steel (not plastic), usable in all weather conditions (UV resistant), indoor and outdoor installation

    •  

    • FASTER CHARGING: this charger will use the full power (16A/220V/3, 5 kW) opposed the supplied mode 2 cable which is often capped at 10,12 or 13A (Eg. Nissan Leaf 10A, Opel Ampera 12 A ...).  With the home charger you can charge 25% to 40% faster.
