Background
With countries worldwide introducing mandates to cut the number of diesel and petrol cars, drivers are looking towards the future dominant car technology, i.e., electric vehicles (EVs). Deloitte predicts that over 25.3 million EVs will be sold by 2030. With the rise in EV use, the demand for electric vehicle charging stations is soaring.
Smart electric vehicle charging stations are connected to the Cloud. This allows all users to log in, locate charging stations on a map, reserve specific locations, pay online, check the charging status, and view focused promotions. The dedicated mobile app can be accessed using a smartphone, laptop, tablet, or directly through a touch screen at the charging station.
Industrial all-in-one Android tablets have emerged as the cornerstone technology bridging the gap between user demands and operational excellence in gas station charging station applications. These specialized devices combine powerful Android processing capabilities with industrial-grade durability, creating comprehensive solutions for modern energy service providers.
Key Challenges
- Extreme Environmental Conditions – Charging stations must operate continuously in harsh outdoor environments with temperature fluctuations ranging from -20°C to +60°C, while also enduring constant exposure to rain, dust, humidity, and direct sunlight, all while maintaining display readability and touch sensitivity.
- Wide Range Communication Capabilities – Wireless and Ethernet connectivity on charging stations allows technicians to monitor and manage them remotely and lets users stay updated with their charge progress through Internet notifications.
- Embedded OS support and One-Stop Shopping – Besides the open-source operating system, the solution also needed an industrial networking switch and X86 Windows-based embedded platform options for data analysis and distributed device management.
- Product longevity – Hardware must last as long as possible since industrial clients drop significant resources into upgrades.
