A commercial charger’s spec sheet is a list of answers to site questions. Read the EV-AC03201T sheet that way and every line turns into a decision: 43 kW shared is your supply conversation, 22 kW per connector is one driver’s ceiling, OCPP 1.6J joins it to your platform, RFID is how drivers get in. The missing lines matter as much — anything the sheet does not name is a written question, not a feature to assume.
Key Takeaways
- Read each spec line as a site decision: 43 kW shared sizes the supply, 22 kW per connector caps one car, OCPP 1.6J and RFID run access and records.
- The stated touchscreen is an interface fact, not a menu tour — confirm screens on a sample.
- Absences are information: cable length, payment hardware and uptime are not on this sheet, so they are written questions.
- IP54 covers dust and splashing water; impact protection is a siting decision, not a spec line.
The Power Lines: Two Ceilings, Not One
| Line on the sheet | What it states | What it means for your site |
|---|---|---|
| Total output | Up to 43 kW, shared between the connectors | One supply sized for a 43 kW-class continuous load — your electrician’s assessment, not a number the sheet can give you. |
| Per-connector output | Up to 22 kW per connector | The most one car can draw from one connector — and only what its own onboard charger accepts. |
| Power allocation | The station allocates power between the two connectors | Two cars charging together divide the shared total. Allocation floors and priorities are not published — a written question for the manual. |
| Connectors | Two Type 2 connectors | Two bays from one floor-standing unit — one footprint, one supply run. |
The Access and Network Lines
OCPP 1.6J connects the hardware to your operation: the protocol the station uses to talk to a charging platform, where accounts, session records and pricing live. It does not name a platform — compatibility is a question to confirm in writing, as our guide to how commercial charging stations work explains. RFID is the access line: drivers start with a card or fob, which is how a site limits charging to its own people and records use per person. The sheet also states a 7-inch touchscreen, the driver’s interface at the station. What its menus show is a sample-and-manual question; the sheet states the screen, not its screens.
The Physical Lines
The form line says floor-standing: the station stands on the ground, not a wall, which puts the foundation and mounting in your installer’s scope. The rating line says IP54 — protected against dust and splashing water. That suits an outdoor car park; it is not a licence to pressure-wash the cabinet, and it says nothing about impact resistance — knocks are handled by siting and site furniture, not by this line. Our site selection guide covers the placement side.
The Lines That Are Not There
A spec sheet also speaks by omission. Notice what is not named, and treat each gap as a question, not an assumption:
- Payment hardware. No card terminal is named; payment runs through the platform and the driver’s account or RFID. If you need walk-up card payment, confirm how it is provided.
- Cable length. Not stated, so bay layout cannot be planned from the sheet — ask in writing before fixing bay markings.
- Load management beyond the stated allocation. How several stations share one site supply is not specified here — a platform and design question, not a sheet fact.
- Uptime. No availability figure appears: uptime is something operations delivers and records, not a spec line can promise.
Read this way, the EV-AC03201T sheet supports a shortlist: one 43 kW-class supply per station, two bays per footprint, platform management over OCPP 1.6J, card access, outdoor siting within the IP54 reading. Everything beyond it belongs in written questions to the supplier and your installer — the discipline our overview of choosing a commercial charging station recommends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does 43 kW mean each car can charge at 43 kW?
No. 43 kW is the shared total; one connector delivers up to 22 kW, and two cars together divide the total. Each car draws only what its onboard charger accepts.
The sheet lists a touchscreen. Can I see what drivers will see?
The listing states a 7-inch touchscreen as the driver interface. The exact screens and languages are not published, so ask for the manual or a demonstration unit before committing a site to it.
Which lines should I verify before ordering?
The absent ones: cable length, payment arrangements, multi-station load behaviour, and the certificate set for your market. Get each in writing; the sheet plus written answers is the complete document.
