CTEK and its CC3 EV chargepoint in awards finals
Posted by: electime 24th October 2024
Electric Vehicle charging equipment manufacturer CTEK has been revealed as a double finalist in The Electric Vehicle Innovation & Excellence Awards.
CTEK is a finalist in the Chargepoint Manufacturer of the Year category for commercial, industrial and public charging and its most advanced EV charge point – the CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 (CC3) – is a finalist in the Best New Product category, also for commercial, industrial and public charging.
It is the second year running that CTEK has been a finalist in the awards, with the Sweden-based manufacturer continuing to invest in the UK as a growth market for its charge points, network management tools and a UK based team for sales, support, technical assistance and training.
Known affectionately as the EVIEs, the prestigious awards exist to shine a light on innovation and excellence in the EV industry. The winners will be announced at a ceremony at London’s InterContinental O2 on November 14.
Daniel Forsberg, CTEK’s Marketing Manager EVSE, said: “We are thrilled that our commitment to innovation and excellence in developing world-leading EV charging equipment, including our CC3 chargepoint, has again been recognised by the EVIEs judges.
“We are in great company with our fellow finalists in all the EVIEs categories and look forward to celebrating with them the contribution we all make towards an electrified transport future.
“Our futureproofed CC3 chargepoint is already being installed in the UK, and installers and operators alike have provided great feedback on its ease of installation and operation.”
The 2024 arrival of CTEK’s CC3 built on CTEK’s decade-plus experience in designing and manufacturing award-winning Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). CTEK has already sold more than 100,000 EV charging devices in the UK, its home market Sweden and elsewhere in Europe.
The dual output CC3 incorporates the latest hardware and software innovations ready for easy installation and smart charging today, plus it is futureproofed for the possibilities of tomorrow’s exciting EV energy ecosystem with next level connectivity and control.
Fully cyber security compliant with today’s UK regulations governing chargepoints, each CC3 has a unique password, tamper alerts and encrypted communication. CC3 also meets the ISO15118 standard so is primed for the upcoming V2G (Vehicle to Grid) and V2X (Vehicle to Everything) revolutions.
It supports the latest OCPP 2.0.1 standard (Open Charge Point Protocol), ensuring smooth interaction with a myriad of third-party hardware and software, cementing its position as a versatile and future-ready charging solution.
