Charger Types

EFAPOWER EV- Public Charger stations are able to charge all electric vehicles compliant with AC (Alternating Current) charging system standards. The Medium speed AC recharging pillar requires a three phase supply which is able to deliver electricity at a maximum power output between 7.4 kW ≤ P ≤ 22 kW.

The Fast AC charging pillar, also requires a three phase supply, delivering electricity at a maximum power output, P > 22 kW. Both chargers for L-category electric vehicles above 3.7 kW are equipped, for interoperability purposes, with 2 socket-outlets or vehicle connectors of Type 2 as described in standard EN 2-62196.

6. How can visiting tourists charge their electric vehicle in Malta?2021-10-22T11:52:56+02:00

All the existing and new infrastructure for EV charging will be requested to adopt an interoperable platform supporting an Open Charge Point Protocol.

Since the charging infrastructure will be interoperable a user from within Europe may simply register with the local Charging Pillar Operator and use the pay as you go system.

Other options to enable cross border charging include opting for a Charging Pillar Operator which supports an e-Roaming platform or an ad hoc type charging. All these methods have been considered and included as a potential means of charging methods which do not necessarily require the need to have a contract with any CPO (in the case of ad-hoc charging). Rates might differ.

6. It-turisti li jżuru Malta kif jistgħu jiċċarġjaw il-vettura elettrika tagħhom?2021-09-28T16:13:19+02:00

L-infrastruttura eżistenti u ġdida għall-iċċarġjar tal-vetturi elettriċi kollha se tintalab tuża pjattaforma interoperabbli li tappoġġa Protokoll ta’ Punti ta’ Ċċarġjar Miftuħa.

Peress li l-infrastruttura tal-iċċarġjar se tkun interoperabbli, utent minn ġewwa l-Ewropa jista’ sempliċiment jirreġistra mal-Operatur tal-Pilastri tal-Iċċarġjar lokali u juża s-sistema fejn tħallas skont l-użu.

Għażliet oħra li jippermettu ċċarġjar transfruntier jinkludu li wieħed jagħżel Operatur tal-Pilastri tal-Iċċarġjar li jappoġġa pjattaforma tar-roaming elettroniku jew iċċarġjar tat-tip <i>ad hoc</i>. Dawn il-metodi kollha tqiesu u ġew inklużi bħala mezz potenzjali ta’ metodi ta’ ċċarġjar li mhux neċessarjament jeħtieġu li wieħed ikollu kuntratt ma’ xi Operatur tal-Pilastri tal-Iċċarġjar (fil-każ ta’ ċċarġjar <i>ad hoc</i>). Ir-rati jistgħu jvarjaw.

7. Kemm hemm bżonn enerġija biex niċċarġja l-vettura tiegħi?2021-09-28T16:14:00+02:00

L-ammont ta’ elettriku użat jiddependi minn kemm tintuża l-vettura. Hemm żewġ tipi ta’ pilastri tal-iċċarġjar, wieħed huwa ċ-ċarġer Medju u jieħu madwar 6 sigħat biex jiċċarġja karozza, u l-ieħor huwa ċ-ċarġer Veloċi li jieħu inqas minn siegħa (1) biex jiċċarġja karozza. Iċ-ċarġers Veloċi jeħtieġu provvista ta’ 200A filwaqt dawk medji-veloċi jeħtieġu provvista trifażi (60Amp). Biex nagħtu eżempju prattiku, biex tiċċarġja kompletament vettura matul il-lejl trid tħallas €1, u dan jikkonsma madwar 7 unitajiet u nofs u tkun tista’ tuża l-vettura għal 30 km l-għada. Din hija biss medja u l-prezz jiddependi wkoll mill-mudell tal-karozza.

7. How much energy is needed to charge my vehicle?2021-10-22T11:53:43+02:00

The amount of electricity used depends on how much the vehicle is used. There are two types of charging pillars, one is Medium and takes around 6 hours to charge a car and the other is Fast which takes less than 1 hour to charge a car. The Fast chargers require a 200A supply whilst a medium-fast requires a 3 phase supply (60Amp). To give a practical example, an overnight full charge would cost €1, consuming around 7½ units and run the vehicle for 30km the next day. This is just an average and the price also depends on the model of the car.

8. What is the difference between a public charging pillar and public charging point? What is the duration of each charge?2021-10-11T16:06:26+02:00

The charging pillar is the actual physical pillar whilst the charging point is part of the charging pillar. In practice, a single charging pillar may consist of two charging points.

As a general rule, the time taken for the battery to be charged depends heavily on the battery pack of the vehicle and the technology used within the vehicle as well as the type of charging infrastructure one uses. However, charging through the off-peak hours would be more than sufficient to cover the needs for the daily commute of a normal user.

8. X’inhi d-differenza bejn pilastru tal-iċċarġjar pubbliku u punt tal-iċċarġjar pubbliku? Kemm tieħu ħin vettura biex tiġi ċċarġjata?2021-09-28T16:23:01+02:00

Il-pilastru tal-iċċarġjar huwa l-pilastru fiżiku proprju filwaqt li l-punt tal-iċċarġjar huwa parti mill-pilastru tal-iċċarġjar. Fil-prattika, pilastru tal-iċċarġjar wieħed jista’ jikkonsisti f’żewġ punti tal-iċċarġjar.

Bħala regola ġenerali, il-ħin meħud biex il-batterija tiġi ċċarġjata jiddependi ħafna mill-pakkett tal-batterija tal-vettura u t-teknoloġija użata fil-vettura kif ukoll mit-tip ta’ infrastruttura tal-iċċarġjar li tuża. Madankollu, l-iċċarġjar fis-sigħat tal-inqas użu jkun biżżejjed biex ikopri l-ħtiġijiet tal-ivvjaġġar ta’ kuljum ta’ utent normali.

9. How can I know whether a public charging pillar is in use or not?2021-10-22T11:54:28+02:00

Such information may be accessed from the mobile app.

9. Kif nista’ nkun naf jekk pilastru tal-iċċarġjar pubbliku huwiex qed jintuża?2021-09-28T16:23:34+02:00

Tali informazzjoni tista’ tiġi aċċessata mill-applikazzjoni mobbli.

10. Bħala sid ta’ negozju, jien interessat li ninvesti fl-infrastruttura tal-iċċarġjar pubblika. Kif nista’ nikseb aktar informazzjoni?2021-10-18T13:47:45+02:00

L-investituri privati li jixtiequ jinvestu fil-pilastri tal-iċċarġjar pubbliċi, dalwaqt se jkollhom l-għażla li japplikaw għal liċenzja ta’ Operatur tal-Pilastri tal-Iċċarġjar (CPO) mar-Regolatur għas-Servizzi tal-Enerġija u l-ilma (REWS) li se jagħtihom il-kapaċità li jiftħu l-infrastruttura tagħhom għall-pubbliku ġenerali. In-negozji interessati għandhom jikkuntattjaw lil REWS fuq [email protected] jew lill-Ministeru għall-Enerġija fuq [email protected] bit-talba tagħhom.

10. As a business owner, I’m interested in investing in public charging infrastructure. How can I get more information?2021-10-22T11:59:43+02:00

Private investors wishing to invest in public charging pillars, will soon have the option of applying for a Charging Pillar Operator (CPO) license with the Regulator for Energy and Water (REWS) which gives them the ability to open their infrastructure to the general public. Interested businesses, should contact REWS on [email protected] or the Ministry for Energy on [email protected] with their request.
