Alfen Eve Single Pro

Not the type of business, but the traffic volume, charging profile and grid capacity determine whether a DC fast charger is profitable. Therefore we do NOT distinguish businesses, but charging scenarios.

Charging scenario 1: High throughput & short stop time

Suitable for: public charging, retail, gas stations, highway exits, high-traffic zones
Characteristics:

• many vehicles per day
• short stops (15-30 min)
• high occupancy rate
• early or late need for battery buffering

Charging scenario 2: Medium throughput & mixed use

Suitable for: offices, showrooms, smaller depots, office zones
Characteristics:

• mix of employees, visitors, occasional vehicles
• vehicles sometimes stay on site for longer periods
• lower grid impact

Charging scenario 3: Internal fleet with predictable charging moments

Suitable for: transport, logistics, bus companies, courier services, garbage trucks, forklifts
Characteristics:

• vehicles return to fixed base
• often charge in the evening or at night
• very predictable charging profile
• perfect match with battery storage

From €1,800 (AC) to €50,000+ for DC. Depending on cabling, power and integration.

With AC charging, the vehicle's built-in onboard charger converts alternating current to direct current. This limits the power to a maximum of 22 kW. A DC fast charger does this conversion itself and supplies direct current directly to the battery, with capacities from 50 to 400 kW. The result: where AC charging takes hours, a DC fast charger brings a vehicle to 80% in 15 to 45 minutes.
