Representative equipment classes
These are reference classes from a cooperating upstream manufacturer. CowinLink discusses project suitability, options and technical documentation, rather than claiming all variants are continuously available.
- 40 kW: compact CCS2 DC reference; suitability depends on connection and site demand.
- 160 kW: multi-output reference with four CCS2 outlets; simultaneous allocation needs verification.
- 240 kW and 320 kW: dual-CCS2 references for commercial sites.
- 60–600 kW: supplier family marketing range; do not use a merged specification table as a datasheet.
Why nominal power is not session power
The delivered DC power is constrained by vehicle voltage, charge curve, cable/connector limits, cooling, temperature, grid capacity and simultaneous use. A 240 kW dual-connector cabinet does not imply 240 kW to each EV at the same time.
- Request power-module granularity and allocation rules.
- Confirm voltage/current envelope and CCS2 cable specifications.
- Test concurrent sessions with realistic vehicle and battery conditions.
Operator features and EU fit
Authentication, metering, receipt, payment terminal, advertising display, OCPP/CSMS and remote maintenance are model- and market-dependent options. EU AFIR and national metrology/payment rules need explicit project evaluation.
- Define public access, card or ad hoc payment expectations.
- Request model-specific OCPP version and integration test report.
- Confirm service network, fault escalation, spare parts and commissioning plan.
