Can we charge electric cargo vehicle with electric car charger?

Three-wheelers are the most important vehicles that are utilised for the last-mile delivery of commodities. Many small companies prefer three-wheelers for cost-effective and timely delivery. In the cargo electric vehicle segment, EVs have already captured attention, but mass transition is yet to take place.OEMs of cargo EV vehicles need to go an extra mile for successful mass adoption of electric cargo vehicles.

Cargo electric vehicles come with both charging slots: for an AC charger and for a DC charger.
AC charging
 

AC charging is a simple and compact way of charging the electric vehicle.When charging an electric car with alternating current, the car's on-board charger is used and it converts the outlet current into battery current. It therefore receives alternating current (AC) and converts it into direct current (DC), which is then sent to the car battery.

The car's charging speed depends on how fast this on-board system can receive the alternating current from the source.AC Chargers are also called slow chargers.are best suitable for multiple installations like shopping centres and workplaces.

Advanced AC charging stations often have additional features: kilowatt counters, delay timers, intelligent load management functions (dynamic balancing), connection to cloud management and monitoring systems, and many others.

AC or slow charging stations are just "smart" AC switches that feed the available AC via cable into an electric car to an onboard charger. They control the charging process via special signal wires and implement the following important functions:

-Power control - indicates the maximum allowable current to the electric vehicle and controls it so that the electric vehicle does not overload the network and does not "cut down" the machines;

-Coordination of the charging process with an electric vehicle, only after which the current is turned on, and at the end of charging it is turned off

-Safety - emergency shutdown of current, in case of detection of its leakage on the charging cable or station body, as well as in the electric vehicle itself. Tracking the quality and performance of grounding.
DC charging

DC chargers also called as Fast Charger is the best option when you're in a hurry.Kilometers of range in a few minutes and you will be ready to go.DC fast chargers are mainly used on highways,where fast charging is priority.DC Fast Charging bypasses all of the limitations of the on-board charger instead providing DC power directly to the battery, thus charging speed improves.DC fast charging is essential for high mileage/long distance driving and large fleets.Currently, there are three types of DC fast charging: CHAdeMO, Combined Charging System (CCS) and Tesla Supercharger.

Kazam chargers

Kazam LEVAC

These chargers are NABL certified LEV AC Electric Vehicle Charging Station (IS 17017). Used at Residential Communities, Offices, Malls, Restaurants, Stores, and Gas Stations.

Kazam LEVAC chargers are used to charge electric car, electric bike, electric scooter or any 3 wheeler with industrial socket in residential societies, offices, malls, restaurants, shops, and petrol pumps.Cargo electric vehicles can also be charged using this.

LEVAC comes with excellent features such as

residual current protection- which means LEV AC has a monitoring circuit for detecting the leakage current. The charger will turn off automatically in case of leakage.

Surge protection -LEV AC is designed to withstand various types of surges thus safeguarding the vehicle and the user.

Voice enabled -India's first voice enabled EV charging experience. Locate and operate your charge point using voice command.

IP54 -The enclosure of LEV AC has complete protection against dust, water splash which makes it is rugge for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Battery backup -LEV AC has a battery backup to facilitate data transfer incase of a power failure. It helps the user to end the transaction and get the actual energy consumed.

Visual indicators -Customers can understand the status of the charger with the help of the LED indicators. It has a seperate colour code for fault condition, detection of input supply and earth connection.

IOT enabled -Connected to internet via SIM card and can be operated remotely via mobile app

All weather compatible -Kazam EV Charging Station is a weather-resistant, robust design that can survive turbulent climatic conditions ranging from Mumbai's rains to Rajasthan's heat.
