Case Study 1
Expansion of the portfolio to include DC charging infrastructure
Challenge:
An established end-to-end charging solutions provider with more than ten years of market experience and over 20,000 implemented AC charging points planned to expand its portfolio to include DC charging stations in the 50 to 800 kW power range. For its market entry, the company lacked a sound basis for selecting suitable technology partners.DELAC's Contribution:
DELAC conducted a market screening, prepared a specification together with the customer and defined evaluation criteria.
