The supported project by Scharge centers on building a next-generation EV charging solution tailored for commercial fleet and depot operations.
The technology integrates an innovative EV charger charge controller developed by Scharge Pvt Limited with a patented automated cable management system from its UK partner.
This combined approach aims to significantly enhance operational efficiency, safety, and usability in high-demand EV charging environments.
A key feature of the Scharge-led solution is the introduction of a motorised overhead cable management system designed specifically for fleet-based applications.
This system streamlines charging operations by reducing manual handling, minimizing cable wear and tear, and improving user convenience.
It is compatible with existing AC Type-2 EV chargers and is expected to enhance charging turnaround times while ensuring a safer and more organized depot infrastructure.
By addressing critical operational challenges such as cable management, equipment protection, and workflow optimization, the Scharge solution is positioned to improve efficiency across EV charging depots.
Additionally, it contributes to enhanced safety standards by reducing risks related to cable damage, vandalism, and operational hazards.
