UL Certification:
This certification is issued by the renowned Underwriters Laboratories laboratory and guarantees that the product that carries it printed complies with all Australian safety regulations. The UL certification is a certification with international prestige and is accepted worldwide for its rigor and professionalism.
OCPP 1.6 Compliant:
The goal for Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is to offer a uniform solution for the method of communication between Charging Station for EV’s and the Charging Station Management System (CSMS). With this protocol it is possible to connect any CSMS with any Charging Station, regardless of the vendor. A uniform standard prevents all kinds of coordination problems and is therefore an advantage for the whole electric vehicle market.
Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) interoperability is a central pillar across all EVBox chargers, including the new Iqon, giving users the freedom to choose the right hardware and software combination for their needs and the flexibility to change their EV charging set up at any time without having to replace their hardware.
RFID/QR/NFC payments:
Require a connection to a charging management software, such as Smart Charge
