A、 Distinguish usage scenarios and determine the specifications of the landing pile foundation
The core advantage of landing piles is that there are no wall restrictions on installation, and different site traffic and vehicle types directly determine the model selection.
1. Urban public passenger car stations
Outdoor parking spaces in shopping malls, roadside charging stations in counties, and parking lots in scenic areas. The traffic is mainly composed of household new energy small cars, with a daily charging capacity of less than 20 units, and priority given to 120kW double gun wind cold ground piles. One machine with two guns can serve two vehicles simultaneously, occupying a moderate area, simple construction, and suitable for scattered charging points.
2. High speed hubs and large commercial charging stations
Due to the concentration of long-distance traffic and the short dwell time of vehicles, the pursuit of fast energy replenishment, 180kW/240kW liquid cooled ground piles are selected. The liquid cooled cable is lightweight and provides continuous high-power output. The 800V high-voltage vehicle model can be charged quickly at full speed, greatly reducing the waiting time for car owners and improving station turnover efficiency.
3. Logistics parks, electric heavy-duty trucks, ports, mining areas, and stations
Electric tractor and electric dump truck have large battery capacity and require continuous high-power replenishment. Priority should be given to 240kW high-power landing piles, equipped with extended charging guns, and suitable for the height of heavy engineering vehicle charging ports; Mining areas are prone to high levels of dust and require all-weather outdoor operations. The option is to enhance dust and anti-corrosion measures.
4. Bus and sanitation dedicated stations
Vehicles are centrally charged at night, and 120kW wind cooled ground piles can be selected in batches for lower deployment costs. Combined with timed charging function, night valley electricity can be used to reduce overall electricity costs.
B、 Matching power and voltage platforms to avoid performance waste
Choosing a landing pile should not blindly pursue high power, but should be judged comprehensively based on the vehicle battery voltage and the capacity of the station transformer.
60kW landing pile: suitable for small locations in old industrial parks with limited transformer capacity, only meeting the basic energy replenishment needs of light logistics vehicles and low-speed commuting vehicles. It takes a long time to charge and is suitable for low flow supporting locations.
120kW dual gun landing station: a universal mainstay in the industry, compatible with mainstream 400V passenger cars, with automatic power sharing for both cars charging simultaneously, and peak value for a single gun
120kW， More than 90% of new energy vehicles can be adapted, with moderate investment in power distribution renovation and the strongest universality.
180/240kW liquid cold ground pile: supports a wide voltage range of 200V-1000V, perfectly matched with 800V high-voltage platform new cars and electric heavy-duty trucks, with continuous high power without attenuation; But higher requirements are placed on the capacity of transformers, and large-scale charging stations will be built and deployed in batches.
Reminder for avoiding pitfalls: When the old distribution capacity of the community is insufficient, purchasing a large number of 240kW high-power piles can easily cause power grid overload. Priority should be given to choosing 120kW medium power models.
C、 Protection and cooling system determine outdoor service life
Ground piles are placed outdoors all year round, and dust and water resistance, as well as heat dissipation ability, are key to long-term stable operation.
Protection level: Ordinary urban outdoor venues use IP55 standard models to meet the basic requirements of rain and dust prevention; Upgraded IP65 high protection equipment for coastal ports, mining areas, and dust prone construction sites, equipped with sealed wiring compartments and anti salt spray coatings to resist sea wind corrosion and sediment intrusion.
There are two types of cooling solutions: air-cooled and liquid cooled. Wind cooled ground piles have lower costs, are easy to maintain, and are suitable for public stations with moderate daily charging frequency; Liquid cooled heat dissipation and temperature control are more stable, and there is no high temperature power drop during long-term high-power charging. The cable is lightweight and easy to plug and unplug, suitable for high load continuous operation scenarios such as high-speed and heavy trucks. Base structure: CAMC ground pile thickened integrated carbon steel base, with stable load-bearing capacity, matched with expansion bolts for fixation. During the rainy season, the internal circuit is not easily soaked by accumulated water on the site, reducing the probability of short circuit faults.
D、 Intelligent operation configuration, divided into self use and commercial on-demand selection
Personal/Corporate Internal Use Stations
Basic configuration is sufficient to meet the requirements: card swiping activation, timed valley electricity charging, remote monitoring through mobile app, battery level recording, no need for complex billing system, simple operation, and reduced equipment procurement costs.
Commercial charging stations for external fees
Must be equipped with a complete cloud operation system: supporting 4G/WiFi networking, QR code payment, time-sharing price adjustment, order backend statistics, remote fault warning, OTA online upgrade. Administrators can remotely view the operating status of each landing pile, automatically push fault reminders, and reduce manual inspection costs; Overseas export models can be customized with multilingual backend and OCPP international communication protocol.
Multiple safety protections are standard across the entire range: overvoltage, overcurrent, leakage, lightning protection, high-temperature shutdown, collision power-off. Outdoor models are equipped with low-temperature preheating modules, which can start normally in an environment of minus 30 ℃.
E、 Comprehensive landing cost and after-sales support
The complete cost of landing piles includes equipment, cables, civil foundation, power distribution renovation, and installation construction. The air-cooled 120kW model has the lowest comprehensive investment and is suitable for small and medium-sized stations; The initial purchase price of liquid cooled high-power models is relatively high, but fast charging brings higher traffic revenue and faster long-term cost recovery for large high-speed stations. On the installation level, the landing pile only needs to harden the concrete foundation, without the need for wall modification, suitable for open areas without walls, with a short construction period, and the pile position can be separately increased or decreased in the later stage, making expansion flexible. In terms of after-sales service, the CAMC floor standing charging pile comes with a 2-year warranty for the entire machine and a 5-year warranty for the core components of the power module. The service network covers the whole country, and on-site maintenance is supported for equipment failures; Exported overseas, it can be equipped with spare parts warehouses and remote technical guidance, suitable for the construction of multiple stations in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Summary
The selection of CAMC floor standing charging stations follows a clear selection logic: for small urban public stations, choose the 120kW air-cooled dual gun model; High speed and high-end commercial districts pursue fast charging options with 180/240kW liquid cooled models; High power reinforced protection models are selected for logistics heavy trucks and mining stations; Upgraded IP65 anti-corrosion configuration for coastal and dusty environments. Combining station traffic flow, distribution capacity, and operation mode to match power and cooling solutions, commercial stations prioritize cloud based billing management system models. CAMC's full range of ground mounted charging stations are suitable for all types of new energy vehicles, with flexible installation and outdoor durability. They are the preferred fast charging equipment for various outdoor centralized charging stations worldwide.
