Having envisioned that a cost-effective, but feature-rich EV charging station will contribute to expanding the EV charging infrastructure, ecarPlug developed the world’s first smartphonecontrolled EV charging stations − replacing the user interface built in the commercial EV charging stations with a user-friendly smartphone application. The ecarPlug EV charging stations are convenient and offer various useful features including user access authentication, mobile billing and payment through the user’s smartphone.
EV Drivers can use their smartphones with the installed application as a remote controller for charging. The installed application provides information on the locations of charging stations. EV Drivers can confirm the charging status. EV Drivers can use the charging service by making reservations, available for both normal charging and off-peak charging.
Just one unit of ecarPlug EV charging station can charge up to three EVs. The ecarPlug EV charging station is conveniently available for both apartment housing and commercial buildings, thereby enabling residents to use it together and contributing to the solving of the allocation of exclusive parking space for EVs.
ecarPlug guarantees the safety of the EV charging station in use. ecarPlug provides product protection class IP44. Also it has certificated KC(Korea Certification). For this station’s safety, a stop button is attached for emergency. Established in 2015, ecarPlug develops and supplies EV charging stations in Korea.
Including acquiring the related patent for this charging method in 2013, ecarPlug leads what it called the “home charger era” by enabling the charging of EVs in personal parking lots just as each person charges their mobile phones. The company further researches and develops in order to produce more convenient and higher-quality EVs chargers, based on the fact that within a few years, EVs would dominate more than 50 percent of the overall vehicle production despite the fact that the current popularization level of EVs still remains relatively low.
For the recently developed technology, ecarPlug’s EVRang is a new brand by which users can directly control EVs and pay charging fee by using mobile phones. And it enables the charging of multiple units of EVs simultaneously with only one unit of charger, thereby giving economical benefit and resolving the difficulty in securing of parking lots. And also, this solution is a convenience-maximized product with several impressive advantages including user self-payment, charging status checking, charging history searching, etc.
