Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular among drivers. Many countries are taking concrete steps to adapt the relevant infrastructure for electromobility. Which manufacturers of electric car charging stations are present on the market? Which charging stations do they offer? We answer these and other questions in the article below.
What are the differences between electric car charging stations from different manufacturers?
There are currently a number of manufacturers on the market with electric car charging stations. These include home chargers, or wallboxes, which can be installed at your garage, and charging stations which are erected at supermarkets and petrol stations in large cities. Different stations may differ in the sockets for electric car chargers. In Poland, however, Type 1 and Type 2 sockets prevail. At present, AC chargers, which take longer to charge a car, are the most popular. It is also possible to find chargers with DC current at some stations, which makes it much quicker to fully charge the battery.
With a lot of competition, manufacturers of electric chargers are trying to outdo other companies through innovative technologies. Public chargers have an RFID (contactless card) reader so that customers can easily and quickly pay to charge their batteries. Charging stations are also equipped with LED strips to indicate when the battery is fully charged. 
Do the major manufacturers of electric car charging stations in Poland offer home charging?
The electromobility infrastructure in Poland is still not geared up for drivers who drive long distances. Many people are also resigned to buying an electric car because there are too few available charging stations for electric cars in the country. Manufacturers of car chargers on the Polish market recognise this problem, which is why they offer to buy their own device for users of green vehicles. The most common are wallboxes, which are mounted on a wall in the garage or car park. In order to use them, a connection to the mains and constant access to electricity is required.
How many manufacturers of electric car charging stations are operating on the Polish market?
Currently, there are many manufacturers of electric car chargers from various countries. Not a few of them are also active on the Polish market. As recently as 2020, the leader was GreenWay, whose electric vehicle chargers are available in many places in large cities. They are most often located next to supermarkets, where they have a particular use. However, in 2022, the leader in electromobility is one petrol station. In Poland, manufacturers of electric car charging stations have set up the most DC equipment, but this is set to change in the future. More AC chargers will be built, making charging much faster.
To encourage the public to use electric cars, the right infrastructure must be in place first. Then drivers will be able to drive around the country safely and without any problems. Manufacturers of electric car chargers also offer devices that will charge an environmentally friendly vehicle at home. However, before you decide to buy a charger, make sure that you meet all the requirements for its installation.
