HMIs for BEV Charging Stations

July 9, 2024

Electric cars – BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) for short – are very highly popular with buyers and are to be welcomed with a view to reducing CO2 emissions. Such vehicles need to be charged with electrical energy. This is done using charging stations, often just called wallboxes, which use a wide variety of control units.

The days of petrol, diesel and even hybrid vehicles are coming to an end. The future will be dominated by BEVs. Quiet and clean. In Norway, Europe’s most BEV-friendly country, around 82 percent of all newly registered cars in 2023 were already purely electric. Norway is not yet the norm, but the Scandinavians clearly show where this vehicle category is heading. The network of charging stations needs to be expanded to the same extent. Wallboxes for charging vehicles in private homes or company parking lots as well as fast-charging stations in public spaces are needed.
