EVDANCE’s commercial range covers two needs. The EV-ACT3204PE 22 kW three-phase wallbox suits workplaces and car parks with walls beside the bays. The EV-AC03201T dual-connector floor-standing AC station serves two bays from one pedestal with up to 43 kW shared. The EV-RHDC30K-L compact DC charger, rated at 22 kW DC, suits short stays and vehicles whose onboard AC chargers are small. Choose by dwell time, mounting location and supply capacity.
Key Takeaways
- Wallboxes suit bays beside walls; pedestals suit open car parks.
- Dual-connector AC stations serve two bays per unit.
- Compact DC suits short stays and small onboard chargers.
- Choose by dwell time, mounting and supply capacity.

Which Fits Your Site?
- Workplace with walls by the bays: EV-ACT3204E wallboxes, with RFID for staff.
- Open car park or kerbside rows: EV-AC03201T, two bays per pedestal.
- Retail, coffee shops, fleet workshops: EV-RHDC30K-L for faster short-stay charging.
- Mixed sites: AC for long stays plus one DC unit for quick top-ups.
Our guides on choosing a commercial station and commercial charger costs explain the trade-offs. DOE-cited figures show public Level 2 at about $3,500 equipment plus $2,500 installation per connector, and high-power DC far higher; compact DC sits in between, with exact costs depending on the site.
AC or DC: The Onboard Charger Question
On AC, the car’s onboard charger limits power, often to 7 to 11 kW. On DC, the charger delivers power directly to the battery, so a 22 kW DC unit can be faster than a 22 kW AC unit for cars with small onboard chargers. For cars that accept 22 kW on AC, the AC units match the DC unit’s power at lower cost. Read AC vs DC chargers.
Supply and Management
All three need a three-phase supply. Load management through OCPP helps several units share limited capacity. Plan ducts and capacity for future expansion. Many sites start with two or three units and double within a few years, so leaving space in switchgear and running spare ducts at the start keeps the second phase simple. EVDANCE supports commercial projects with a 3-year standard warranty and factory-direct supply through its commercial team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should a workplace choose AC or DC chargers?
Usually AC, because staff park for hours. DC suits short-stay visitors and fleet workshops.
What is the advantage of a dual-connector station?
It serves two bays from one pedestal and shares power between them, reducing hardware and groundwork.
Is a 22 kW DC charger faster than a 22 kW AC charger?
For cars with small onboard AC chargers, yes. For cars that accept 22 kW AC, power is similar.
