Announcement posted by E-Green Technologies Pty Ltd 07 Jun 2010
Locally designed and manufactured E-Charger
Now, Australia has the option to install Australian-made technology as an alternative to imported charging stations: Sydney-based E-Green Technologies Pty Ltd has developed the E-Charger, which is the only locally designed, developed, manufactured and patented EV charging station and can be payed and enabled by mobile phone, requiring no network subscriptions.
The EC15A/32A EV charging stations are unique and the most feature-packed charging stations available in Australia and can be installed alone or in a network of smart charging infrastructure for EVs. E-Charger performs energy metering via a certified electronic meter. The client payment is done via an innovative SMS generated message (patent pending). This flexibility allows anyone with a mobile phone and sufficient funds to have access to E-Charger.
Easy Client Access
Any client with a mobile phone can access the charging station. The access for a charging session can be allowed by SMS to the same Australia-wide number. If a client has a compatible EV after the “handshake” between the EV and E-Charger, data about the battery charge level can be transmitted via SMS back to the client. E-Charger can also monitor and collect battery temperature levels and automatically cut off power, if required.
If the E-Charger is to be used on roads or other council property, the station can perform a parking meter function, with payment also via SMS message.
Networked E-Charger
In an E-Charger network, communication is managed by a master charging station and local communication via a radio frequency (RF) network. Clusters of stations can be managed by a single master station, which uses a GSM modem to communicate with telecom operator.
The network operating system is based on open and highly secure, industry standards-based platform, and will provide communication between E-Chargers and telecom hosted servers. It provides monitoring and remote upgrades as well as local data collection from compatible EV through a standard (ZigBee) protocol.
