The chargers that suit Czech and Slovak sites are chosen by the growth question first: will this site add bays, vehicles or a second shift? Answer that, then confirm spare capacity and phases, then decide between single units and a dual-connector station — and only then run the connector census on the vehicles. As of October 2026, the configuration and market version each market requires is a written-confirmation item; this guide states no Czech or Slovak voltage, phase practice or plug type as fact.
Key Takeaways
- Ask the growth question first: tomorrow’s bays and vehicles decide today’s hardware.
- Confirmed spare capacity and phases are the headroom check — a rating is a ceiling, not a promise.
- Dual-connector stations suit paired, growing bays; wallboxes scale one bay at a time; portables serve one-car-at-a-time growth.
- Connector census comes last; the DC variant, temperature range and market version are written confirmations, as of October 2026.
The Growth Question Comes First
Sites rarely stay the size they were bought for: a workplace adds staff cars, a depot takes a second shift, a housing block gains EV owners one purchase at a time. Buying only for today’s count repeats the expensive parts — connection work and installation — at every step. First questions are about trajectory, not hardware:
- How many bays will this site serve in its next phase — and who decides when it starts?
- Who pays for the energy as bays multiply — and is access control needed from the start?
Capacity and Phases: The Headroom Check
Growth is capped by what the site can actually supply. Get the confirmed spare capacity and phases, in writing, from the site’s installer or supply-side contact, before any model is discussed. A confirmed three-phase service opens the 11 kW and 22 kW three-phase class; a tight single-phase service points to lower-power units or a phased rollout. Phase supply is covered in our explainer on single-phase vs three-phase charging and our distributor guide to 11 kW vs 22 kW wallboxes.
| Site today | Likely growth | Buy now |
|---|---|---|
| Workplace with a few bays | More staff EVs, visitor bays | A dual-connector station or wallboxes sized to confirmed headroom, so phase two adds bays only |
| Fleet depot | Second shift, more vans on overnight dwell | Three-phase wallboxes where capacity is confirmed; portables for vehicles that move between sites |
| Residential block | More owners switching to EVs | Single-phase units per dwelling now; access-controlled shared bays planned into the same supply conversation |
Single Units or a Dual-connector Station?
The growth answer drives this choice. The EV-AC03201T lists two Type 2 connectors sharing up to 43 kW (22 kW per connector), with OCPP 1.6J, RFID and a 7-inch touchscreen, at IP54 — one installation serving a pair of bays, how shared sites grow. Its listing names dynamic allocation between its two connectors; behaviour in a given setup is a question for the order documents. The wallbox route scales per bay: the EV-ACT3204PE (22 kW three-phase, tethered Type 2 cable, RFID and app, IP66, CE). Portables serve one-car-at-a-time growth: the EV-ACS3210E (single-phase, about 7 kW, Type 2, IP66, app with energy monitoring, listed as OCPP-ready), and the three-phase ACS1605PE (11 kW, CEE 5-pin, 7.6 m) where workshops run industrial sockets — confirmed on site, never assumed.
The Connector Census Comes Last
With capacity, phases and growth settled, the connector question earns its turn: count the inlet families on the vehicles each site serves. A contracted fleet is usually one family; shared bays meet a mix, where socketed units earn their place. The EV-RHDC30K-L adds compact DC at 22 kW — below the 50–350 kW public fast-charging class — and its listing does not name the DC connector variant: a written confirmation, closed against the site’s vehicles before any DC order. Two more confirmations sit in the same file: the stated operating-temperature range for outdoor placements — EVDANCE listings publish none, so it is requested in writing — and each line’s market version, confirmed per market. Site surveys go to the distributor program or contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why ask about growth before choosing a model?
Because capacity, phases and the expansion path decide whether today’s unit strands tomorrow’s bays. A perfectly matched plug on a charger the site outgrows within a year is the expensive outcome.
When is a dual-connector station the better buy?
When bays come in pairs — shared workplace or residential parking. The EV-AC03201T’s listing states two Type 2 connectors sharing up to 43 kW with OCPP 1.6J and RFID, so one installation covers the pair.
Does a 22 kW charger deliver 22 kW at every site?
No. The rating is the charger’s ceiling; the confirmed site supply — capacity and phases — decides what a bay delivers. Both are confirmed in writing first.
