As the global energy transformation continues to advance, Kazakhstan’s new energy electric vehicle and charging pile market is ushering in a period of rapid development. The number of electric vehicles in the country has exceeded 12,000, and driven by the government’s 30% financial subsidies and VAT exemptions and other incentives, the nationwide charging infrastructure is accelerating its layout, with huge market potential and broad prospects.
Against this background, SCU provided EV chargers to a local EV charge point operator (EV CPO) to help it build a multi-model, cross-standard smart fast charging station.
Owner pain points: triple challenges of efficiency, compatibility and extreme environments
The core problems faced by the operator’s original stations directly hit the owner’s experience:
- Queuing anxiety: single gun power is small, it takes 40 minutes to fully charge a 60kWh electric vehicle, and the queue during peak hours exceeds 1 hour;
- Different standards: Chinese brand cars mainly use GB/T, European imported cars rely on CCS2, and cross-brand car owners often encounter “plug gun incompatibility”;
- Winter dilemma: -30℃ extreme cold causes the charging speed to drop by 50%, exacerbating the owner’s mileage anxiety.
SCU solution: 360kW EV charging stack + full-scenario car owner service
System configuration
Using two units of 360 kW EV charging stacks, each set is equipped with 4 EV charger posts: 3 GB/T charger posts are suitable for Chinese brand models, and 1 CCS2 charger post is suitable for mainstream European electric models to meet the charging needs of local operating vehicles and cross-border users.
- Multi-standard compatibility, serving multiple models
Automatically identify GB/T and CCS2 protocols, and compatible models cover 95% of electric passenger cars on the market, including hybrid models with fast charging needs.
- Powerful output, dynamic allocation
The maximum output power of a single gun can reach 240kW, supporting multiple guns to charge at the same time, with intelligent power allocation and scheduling capabilities, to achieve fast charging with high efficiency and without interruption
- All-weather adaptation, stable operation
For the local severe cold climate, the SCU charging system has the ability to start at low temperature to ensure stable charging in winter.
- Modular design, flexible expansion
The battery stack system adopts a modular structure, which is convenient for later expansion and maintenance, supports operators to quickly replicate sites, and realizes large-scale layout of charging networks.
- Car owner ecology, convenient and fast
Scan code to charge, multi-language interface, support local payment.
Solve the core problem
SCU’s solution not only solves the problem of insufficient compatibility of multi-standard charging, but also alleviates the pain points of “difficult queue” and “slow charging” during peak hours through high power output and intelligent scheduling. At the same time, modular design greatly reduces construction and operation costs, making local operators more competitive in the market.
Green travel, win-win future
This cooperation not only provides Kazakhstan fast charging stations with advanced and reliable multi-standard EV charging solutions, but also further verifies SCU’s strength in international and customized charging technology services. In the future, SCU will continue to deepen cooperation with the operator, expand more cities and traffic arteries stations, and inject strong impetus into the construction of new energy transportation in Central Asia.
