DIY EV Charger with IVY EVSE Components
New energy vehicle charging piles, also known as electric vehicle charging stations or electric vehicle power supply equipment, are devices that provide electric energy for electric vehicles, enabling electric vehicles to store enough electricity to support their operation. New energy vehicle charging piles refer to equipment that provides charging services for plug-in new energy vehicles, installed in public places such as public buildings, parking lots, shopping malls, operating vehicle charging stations, and private places such as residential areas. The power input end of the charging pile is connected to the AC power grid, and the power output end with a charging plug is connected to the car for charging. At present, charging piles are mainly based on traditional operation modes, which can be subdivided into four categories: government/grid enterprises, automobile manufacturers, operators, and users.
The AC charging station is mainly composed of a pile body, an LED indicator board, a card reader, an auxiliary power supply, a main control module, a relay, a CT, a leakage sensor, a terminal block, a single-phase circuit breaker (air switch), a surge protector (lightning arrester), a smart meter, an AC contactor, an access control switch, an emergency stop switch, a charging gun, a charging harness, etc.
Are you an EV charger manufacturer, system integrator, or operator? IVY Metering has a wide range of suitable components and we will be happy to advise you.
One-stop supply of innovative charging technology
Assemble charging points with IVY Metering EV series products: As a component manufacturer, we can provide products for AC home charging piles and DC fast charging stations, supporting PCB and DIN rail installation. The product portfolio covers various products such as leakage protection, relays, current transformers, load management, ac-dc module, integrated charging modules, etc. laying the foundation for building high-performance EV charging stations.
AEC-21Y-G1: A smart charging module that integrates the multi-functional needs of AC charging stations
Charging: Three-phase charging design, maximum charging current up to 32A, maximum power 21kW, supports free switching between single/three-phase mode, and adapts to different power environment requirements.
Metering: It has its own electricity meter, which can read the power consumption and upload it in real-time.
Leakage Protection: Type B leakage detection(AC 30mA/DC 6mA)
Other Protection: Emergency stop protection function, cover opening protection function, lightning protection function, overheat protection function, grounding protection function, short circuit protection function, overload protection function, overcurrent protection function, overvoltage protection function, under-voltage protection function, surge protection function, static electricity protection function, full power stop protection function.
Smart Communication: Supports RS485 local communication and 4G remote communication to achieve real-time monitoring and remote operation and maintenance of equipment; provides local dedicated/batch authorization mode, flexibly adapts to public or private scene management needs, and can create an APP platform for service management.
Diversified Payment: Integrates card payment, mobile payment, and prepaid functions to simplify user operation processes and improve the convenience of charging services.
In addition, the biggest advantage of this product is that it is extremely cost-effective.
With a circuit breaker + charging shell (customizable) + charging gun (can be purchased locally), wall-mounted or vertically installed, you can have a complete AC charging station. The cost is only $100-150, while the cost of the AC EV chargers on the market is at least $200.
As the electric vehicle (EV) industry grows and people become more familiar with charging stations as a necessity for EV drivers, it becomes increasingly important to understand the technology behind EV chargers, also known as Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment(EVSE). These electrical devices that power your car are more than just plugs and cables; they come with advanced components built into them to ensure your EV gets the power it needs safely and efficiently. Therefore, choosing the right components is critical to not only ensure safe and efficient charging, but also save you money.
