EVOASIS’ EVSTAT charging facilities present an exciting proposition for the automotive industry. EVOASIS transforms neglected forecourts, former petrol stations and shopping centre parking areas into electric vehicle Rapid-Charge stations (EVSTAT) that are architecturally designed to conform to, as well as enhance any city environment or theme.

EVOASIS employs rapid-charging power “pumps” which can deliver up to 500 Volts and 200 Amps, far exceeding household, curbside or other vehicle charging services and solutions. EVSTAT facilitates charging vehicles to 80% of capacity in as little as 20 minutes. Not all EV’s on the market can currently handle the higher voltages and amperages required to perform rapid charging. Therefore EVSTAT stations identify the vehicle type and power tolerances and deliver the optimum charging power to multiple vehicles simultaneously with dynamic load sharing, while adhering to power specifications from the vehicle manufacturer. IN THE NEAR FUTURE, almost all electric vehicles will be able to receive a Direct Current, high-voltage, rapid-charge to allow them to move as normal traffic from distant point-to-distant point, or make an “unplanned trip, knowing that power will be available to complete their excursion with no more than 20-30 minutes of “down-time” for each 100-200 miles of actual driving. This represents the “Tipping Point” in the mass adoption of electric vehicles and will be achieved by site integration, installation and operation of EVSTAT stations or similar facilities deployed on a local, regional and national/international scale over the coming years. In addition, EVSTAT stations employ an underground battery-bunker facility, which captures then stores electrical energy from the grid at off-peak tariff cycles, then uses the cheaper stored energy for powering the facility rapid-charging eVehicles during peak hours from sunrise-to-sunset. This mitigates the load on the electrical grid during peak-demand hours. With the intention of guaranteeing safety during vehicle charging, EVOASIS trains personnel to operate the charging facilities and attend to the vehicle and driver needs, while additionally offering diagnostic and maintenance service to the vehicle operator as well as a relaxing and convenient lounge and retail environment.

Furthermore, EVOASIS utilizes wherever possible, sustainable means of energy production and distribution. “Retired” or “half-life” batteries retired from vehicle use are also used as part of a battery matrix to store and deliver energy and extend their power delivery capabilities beyond the vehicle application. In order to overcome the lack of standardization in charging plugs, paddles and cables, the stations also contain a “tack-room” of heavy duty, aircraft-grade charging cables suitable for a variety of electric vehicles. The axis of differentiation also lie in how EVOASIS caters to each customers’ comfort and convenience. Each EVSTAT station also features Club-Class relaxation and waiting areas reminiscent of an airport “Sky Lounge” that provide essential services such as food and beverages, Internet and wireless connectivity.

Along with recharging your vehicle and yourself, other essential business services for on-the-go lifestyles, retail and vehicle rental spaces and other conveniences abound. Video Touch-Screens on each charging point (EVSTAT PowerPump) will feature value-added services and point-of-sale ordering of goods and services which cater to our theme of “Living the Life Electric”. Our proprietary charging plugs can also deliver data to the car such as software, firmware, diagnostic reporting, music, media and film as well as fleet management applications and geocentric data.
