Private Parking Facility Operators, Finland

In Finland, where winter temperatures often fall well below freezing, EV chargers face unique outdoor challenges. Private parking facility operators often manage outdoor parking spaces exposed to heavy snow and ice, so they require a solution that could perform reliably outdoors, while also incorporating practical measures to protect the equipment from direct exposure to snow and ice.

Ensuring Reliable Charging in Extreme Weather Conditions

EV charging infrastructure in cold regions like Finland faces harsh environmental conditions. Severe cold can compromise conventional chargers, reducing efficiency, slowing charging speeds, or causing failures. The challenge was to deploy a solution that not only delivers consistent charging performance but also adapts to weather extremes.

PowerBox 30 kW Wall-Mounted DC Charger

SETEC POWER provided the PowerBox 30 kW wall-mounted DC charging solution, specifically designed for space efficiency and environmental resilience:

Extreme Climate Adaptability: Operates reliably in temperatures from -30 °C to +65 °C (-22 ℉ to +149 ℉), ensuring year-round performance.

30 kW Output Power: Delivers efficient charging for parking areas.

Protective Wall-Mounted Installation: Installed under a small shelter in a wall-mounted setup, reducing snow and ice buildup while ensuring equipment protection and longer service life.

Multi-Protocol Compatibility: Supports NACS, CCS, CHAdeMO, GB/T, and OCPP standards to accommodate a wide range of vehicles and backend integration.

Year-Round Reliability for EV Charging

By combining the PowerBox’s wide temperature tolerance with a simple protective shelter, the deployment ensured reliable and stable charging performance throughout Finland’s severe winters. Facility operators now have a practical, weather-resistant charging solution that maintains efficiency even in snow-heavy, open-air environments.
