ATUM Charge is a pioneering initiative in India, introducing the first 100% green EV charging station. Powered by the ATUM Solar Roof, it offers a sustainable alternative to traditional EV charging units that rely on thermal power generation, which is a significant contributor to pollution.
Key Features of ATUM Charge:
Sustainable Construction:
1. Powered by ATUM Solar Roof: Ensures the energy used is completely green.
2. Fabricated with Vnext Boards: These fibre cement boards are eco-friendly alternatives to gypsum, wood, and plywood.
3. CO2 Emissions:
- Vnext Boards: 36 kg of CO2 per tonne.
- Plywood: 800 kg of CO2 per tonne.
- Cement: 1000 kg of CO2 per tonne.
- Steel: 2000 kg of CO2 per tonne.
EV Charging Capabilities:
1. Charging Range: 3.3-10 KW normal charging EVSE (Electric Vehicle Service Equipment).
2. Station Setup: At least 2 EVSE per charging station.
CPO (Charge Point Operator): Manages the charging stations.
Advantages:
1. Cost-Effective: Lower capital costs due to reduced electricity and space requirements.
2. Easy Installation: Can be connected to low-voltage single and three-phase distribution networks, which are common in buildings and public spaces.
3. Convenient Location: Placed at locations where vehicles typically park, saving EV users time and reducing the distance to access public charging points.
4. Dense Network: Helps to decrease the reliance on high power and ultra-high power charging points, which are more costly and can negatively impact EV battery health if used excessively.
ATUM Charge is dedicated to generating green energy and promoting environmentally friendly commuting solutions, making it a true advocate for sustainable development.
