Start of production of fast stations

Sitronics Electro, a manufacturer of charging stations for electric vehicles, has announced the start of mass production of innovative fast charging stations eStation Super. According to information provided by the press service of Sitronics Group on May 28, 2024, the new stations are able to provide simultaneous charging of up to four electric vehicles, thanks to the power of 262 kW and the distribution of energy between the charging connectors.

It is expected that after passing mandatory certification for compliance with the requirements of Russian legislation, in particular, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 719 "On Confirmation of the Production of Industrial Products in the Russian Federation," the first copies of the eStation Super will be delivered to the company's customers in early 2025.

According to the press service, one of the main features of the new charging station is an automatic online diagnostics system that allows you to quickly identify and fix most problems without the need for the physical presence of technical specialists. In addition, the eStation Super supports the advanced "plug & charge" identification mode, which makes the charging process of the electric car easier and safer for users.

We laid the foundation for the production of our own stations and controllers for them. We expect that the indicator of successful sessions on the first attempt to ㅡ the key parameter of ㅡ quality at our station will be 20% higher than the market.

Gurlenov noted that the design of the eStation Super was developed by the famous studio of Artemy Lebedev, and it is also possible to personalize the station in accordance with the needs of a specific client. In addition to fast DC stations, Sitronics Electro also launched the production of slow AC charging stations, expanding its range and offering comprehensive solutions for the development of electric transport infrastructure in Russia.^[1]

The operator offers different configuration options: the front panel can be made of metal or tempered glass, there are options for choosing the number of connectors and their standards, choosing the color of the indicators, as well as the type of fastening - in floor or wall design. The stations also suggest the possibility of complete customization in the customer's corporate style.

Demand for Russian-made charging equipment continues to grow. As of March 2024, pre-orders are issued for more than 100 stations. Buyers include owners of commercial real estate and from the HoReCa segment, developers and energy companies. In addition, there are requests for the purchase of stations for personal use, "said Nikolay Samokhin, commercial director of Sitronics Electro.

The operator announced the launch of the development of its own equipment for charging electric vehicles in the summer of 2023. The lineup will feature two types of stations - slow (AC) and fast (DC) - with a power of 22 to 150 kW. The design of the station was developed by Artemy Lebedev Studio. The company plans to present a prototype fast charging station in the summer.

Assembly and testing of a pre-production sample of a slow charging station

The operator electric charging infrastructure Sitronics Electro (part Sitronics of the Group) has completed the assembly and testing of the first pre-production sample of the slow charging station. The Sitronics Group announced this on October 18, 2023.

Earlier, the operator announced the launch of a project to develop its own line of stations for charging electric vehicles. The lineup will feature two types of stations - slow (AC) and fast (DC) - with a power of 22 to 150 kW.

As part of testing the pre-production sample of the NPP station, IT specialists checked the interaction of the station with the server using the OCPP protocol, connecting the charging session through a mobile application and successfully charging the electric car.

The engineers also checked the station for compliance with the requirements for climatic design and checked for tightness and protection against dust and dirt (IP).

The demo sample passed the tests in our laboratory. In the near future, we plan to install a field testing station and open a pre-order, "said Andrey Gurlenov, executive director of Sitronics Electro.

Charging Station Development Plan

Charging infrastructure operator for electric transport Sitronics Electro (part of Sitronics Group) is launching a project to develop charging stations. Sitronics announced this on August 3, 2023.

The lineup will feature two types of stations - slow (AC) and fast (DC) - with a power of 22 to 150 kW. The operator plans to present the first slow-type station by the end of 2023.

The operator of the electric charging infrastructure, like no other, knows all the weaknesses and strengths of the ESS thanks to daily interaction with both manufacturers and users. We believe that in August 2023 we have accumulated enough expertise to create our own charging stations, and we expect the product to occupy high positions in the market, "said Andrey Gurlenov, CEO of Sitronics Electro.

Sitronics Electro specialists will be engaged in the inhouse development of the full cycle - controllers, software, power electrics, housing and layout of the station elements.
