HMI Touch Screen for Outdoor Fast Charge Station

The Demand for Fast Charger Station

Electrification of transportation is steadily growing hence the demand for charging facilities and high-power chargers for Electric Vehicles (EVs), such as the Level 3 charging. A global leader in direct current (DC) fast chargers station aims to electrify transportation nationwide through an accessible charging network and versatile charging stations. The plan is to put the chargers stations in traditional fuel stations, rest stops, motorways, and many public areas, where EV drivers often seek a fast charge and easy-to-find stations. The quick turnaround enables long-distance driving and larger fleet drivers to recharge during the day or on a small break instead of being plugged in for long hours or overnight for a full charge.

The customer’s unique DNA of small footprint, scalability, flexibility, and high efficiency calls for the HMI touch screen that is slim, durable, safe to use, and compact. It should support the seamless user experience of the DC charging system and simultaneously withstand the rigors of high usage in various outdoor charge points. Including the harshest charging climate.

Connect the Charging Network with Winmate HMI Touch Screen
