Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is growing rapidly in Turkey and around the world. For commercial businesses, installing a DC fast charging station is an effective way to increase customer satisfaction and generate additional revenue. Here is a step-by-step installation guide.
1. Feasibility Study
Before installation, analyze the electric vehicle density in your area, the occupancy rates of existing charging stations and the needs of your target audience. A DC fast charging station can charge a vehicle up to 80% capacity in 30 minutes. Therefore, high-traffic routes, shopping malls, hotels and gas stations are ideal locations.
2. Infrastructure Requirements
- Electrical Infrastructure: DC fast chargers typically range from 50-150 kW power. Make sure your existing transformer capacity is sufficient. A transformer upgrade may be required if necessary.
- Space Planning: At least 3x5 meters of space should be allocated for each charging unit, and vehicle maneuvering area must be calculated.
- Cabling and Infrastructure: Physical infrastructure work such as underground cable pulling, concrete foundation and protective barriers should be planned.
3. Permit Processes
For DC fast charging station installation, a connection opinion must be obtained from the relevant electricity distribution company, zoning and occupancy permits from the municipality, and a license application must be made to the energy regulatory authority. As LE-TECH, we offer turnkey services for all permit processes.
4. Device Selection and Installation
The Tunçmatik ProDC series, supporting CCS2 and CHAdeMO protocols in the 30-180 kW range, offers solutions compatible with all EV models. With OCPP 1.6 and 2.0 protocols, it can integrate with central management systems.
5. Operation and Maintenance
After installation, you can ensure uninterrupted operation of your charging station through regular maintenance, software updates and 7/24 monitoring services. With LE-TECH maintenance programs, we offer rapid response in case of failure.
