METRIC Group Launches EV Charger for Commercial Applications

METRIC Group has introduced the EVA-22D-SE-RFID, a 22kW alternating-current charging station built for high-demand commercial and public charging sites. The unit pairs a 7-inch LCD interface with an industrial-grade enclosure rated IP55 for dust and water resistance and IK10 for impact protection. Its design centers on balancing ease of use against durability in exposed outdoor environments.

Product overview and positioning

The EVA-22D-SE-RFID is a 22kW AC charger aimed at operators who require sustained output rather than rapid direct-current charging. METRIC Group positions the device as a stable and efficient energy delivery solution for commercial premises and publicly accessible charging areas, where equipment is expected to remain in service for long periods with limited supervision.

Two design priorities govern the unit: a straightforward user interface and a structural build that withstands difficult conditions. The 7-inch LCD screen presents charging status and key operating data in real time, allowing drivers to track progress without additional instructions.

Core technical specifications

The published ratings place the unit in the mid-to-high power range for alternating-current charging, with environmental tolerances that cover most outdoor installation conditions.

Performance and environmental resilience

The IP55 rating indicates that the enclosure is protected against dust ingress and against water projected from any direction. That makes the charger suitable for most outdoor installations, although it is not intended for complete submersion. The IK10 classification, the highest level in the impact-resistance scale, means the housing can absorb a 20-joule impact, a relevant safeguard in public parking facilities and unattended locations.

Thermal tolerance extends to an ambient temperature of 55°C, allowing the station to operate through sustained high-temperature conditions without additional cooling measures. METRIC Group notes that installations should still avoid narrow, unventilated spaces exposed to direct sunlight, so that the unit remains within its optimal performance range.

Access control and metering

The integrated RFID authentication function allows operators to manage access rights and billing workflows more precisely, a requirement for commercial charging networks where usage must be attributed to individual account holders. Combined with the display interface, the feature supports a self-service model that reduces the need for on-site staffing.
