THE EVDUTY BRAND EVduty is the commercial identity of the electric vehicle charging products manufactured by Elmec. The first product developed was a level 2 (240V) charging station. Sales of first generation of EVduty charging stations began in early 2014. As soon as it is introduced, the EVduty charging station became the most popular station in Quebec. Thanks to the product s quality designed specifically for Nordic conditions, the reassuring after-sales service and the expansion of the plug-in vehicles market, sales level is constantly growing. Testimonials of exceptional service in particular strengthen the trust EV drivers put in the brand. EVduty New Generation The second generation EVduty charging station was launched in early 2017. While the revision includes an improved technological design (updated) and a more discreet look, the new EVduty station still stands out for its portability. Surprisingly compact and light, the EVduty charging station is also robust since the new casing is made from the same polycarbonate resin used for hockey helmets! Two pluggable variants, NEMA 6-50 and NEMA 14-50, as well as a hardwired version (without plug) are available. In addition to the standard base station, two smart options are also available (for residential or commercial use). EVduty3 Fast Charging Station In 2015, Elmec designed a direct current fast charger (DCFC). Elmec engineers approach reduces manufacturing costs and also minimizes installation and maintenance costs. In addition, businesses wishing to offer fast charging to their customers can choose between a purchase or a hosting partnership.

EVDUTY3 FAST CHARGING STATION (EVCFC50) Installation Options EVduty3 Standard cabinet The base product is a cabinet to install on an indoor wall. The cable-connectors are then installed on the outdoor wall vis-à-vis the indoor cabinet, thus minimizing installation costs. EVduty3 Optional satellite In contexts where charging near the building is not possible or desired, a charging satellite can be added. In these cases, the charging station itself is still installed inside the building but the cable-connectors are installed on the satellite powered by the station. Installation costs which remain below the cost of installing other DCFCs on the market vary depending on the distance from the charging station, site materials and other factors. Standards Directive EMC 2004/108/EC LVD 2006/95/EC Safety IEC 61851-1; IEC 61851-23 UL2202; UL2231-1; UL2231-2 CSA C22.2 NO.107.1-01; CSA C22.2 NO.281.1&2-12 EMC : IEC EN61000-3-12 Communication SAE J1772 (COMBO CCS) CHAdeMO OCPP 1,6 Warranty The EVDuty3 EVCFC50 DCFC warranty takes effect for a 12 month period following the start-up date by Elmec Inc. and covers all defects and malfunctions of the charging station and its components including the 50kW fast charger, the Satellite 3 casing, the Chademo cable-connector and the Combo cable-connector. EVduty application EVduty3 DCFCs are accessible via the EVduty app which EV drivers can download for free on GooglePlay or AppStore. Payment of charging sessions is managed on the app as well. Revenue on charging sessions is shared between the station operator and Elmec according to the chosen type of transaction (purchase, lease-purchase or hosting).
NOTIONS ON PUBLIC CHARGING Important concepts about EV drivers use of public charging stations. Charging at Work More and more employers are offering employees access to charging during working hours. Subsidies are available for these employers. Access to these stations is restricted to authorized users. Residential Charging in Condo/Multi-housing Charging stations can be installed in indoor or outdoor parking lots of residential complexes (condos or multi-housing). Access to these stations is restricted to authorized users. Opportunity Charging EV drivers will favor businesses offering 240V public charging since it enables them to charge their vehicle during their activities (grocery store, shopping center, restaurant, etc.) Destination Charging When travelling, EV drivers will use destination charging for the return journey or the continuation of a trip. They will use public 240V charging during activities of longer duration (movie-going, hotel stay, visit of a tourist attraction, etc.) En Route Charging On the road, EV drivers rely on DCFCs for short stops (15 minutes to 1 hour on average) to charge for the rest of the trip. These customers often take the opportunity to have a meal or a snack in a business near the charging station. They will usually plan stops before departing depending on the available charging stations on their route.
