Smarter charging, quick installation.

EVCS - Zonnepanelen

1. Solar panels

Solar investors demand efficiency and safety. Poor installation or materials increase risks such as fire. PV systems, including DC cables, must therefore meet strict quality standards.
EVCS - Batterij Opslag

2. Battery storage

Battery storage has an important position in the energy transition. Battery storages come in many forms and sizes, from the home battery to large (underground) battery storages. 
EVCS - WIndmolens

3. Windmills

Wind power is clean and comes from a source that never runs out. Wind turbines generate power without polluting the air, without burdening the climate and without depleting resources. 
EVCS - Transformator

4. Transformer station

The high-voltage grid distributes electricity nationwide via direct current. Transformer stations locally convert this to lower voltages for use.
EVCS - Walstroom

5. Shore power

Shore power lets ships switch to local green power in ports, allowing engines to be turned off. Various vessel sizes require a wide range of cables.
EVCS - Laadplein

6. Charging Stations

Electric transportation is growing sustainably. An efficient charging infrastructure is essential for the increasing demand for charging stations.

EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) refers to the network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers available for use. This includes public and private charging stations where EVs can be recharged, whether you are at home, work, or public locations such as shopping centers and highways. EV charging infrastructure is essential for supporting the growing number of EVs on the road, ensuring that drivers have convenient and reliable access to charging facilities.

The Netherlands has ambitious plans to expand its EV charging infrastructure. The Dutch National Charging Infrastructure Agenda aims to install 40,000 public charging points by 2025 and reach 1.7 million by 2030. Additionally, from 2025, around 550 new charging posts will be installed daily to create a nationwide network. These plans are part of a broader strategy to support the growing number of electric vehicles and ensure that charging infrastructure keeps pace with demand.

The Hybrid EVCS cable from Draka consists of installation wires and 4-wire data cables for power supply and communication function in one.
Connecting the 4-core data cable works as follows;


The 4 cores have the color coding as a standard CAT cable, but 4 cores instead of 8 cores. The 4 cores have the colors orange/white, orange, green/white and green.
The order of connection is important for the performance of the cable. Connecting the cores should always be as follows;
Pin 1: Orange/white
Pin 2: Orange
Pin 3: Green/white
Pin 6: Green

To terminate the EVCS cable, use a CAT6a or CAT7 connector.

Pioneering The Electric Vehicle Revolution: The Growth of EV Charging Infrastructure (EVCI)

 

Imagine a bustling cityscape in the Netherlands, where electric vehicles (EVs) glide silently through the streets, seamlessly integrating into daily life. This vision is rapidly becoming a reality as the Netherlands is currently embracing a transformative journey towards sustainable transportation.

 

According to GlobalData, in 2024, the Netherlands proudly stands as a beacon of innovation with over 54,000 new EV charging stations dotting its landscape. These stations mean much more than just one of the components in the EV charging infrastructure (EVCI); they symbolize a commitment to a greener future. As the hum of traditional engines fades, the soft whir of electric cars takes over, powered by an ever-expanding network of EV charging points.

 

 

 

But this is just the beginning. By 2028, the number of EV chargers is expected to grow significantly, reaching an impressive 120,000 charging stations. In the meantime, the financial landscape of EV market also mirrors this physical expansion. The market value of the EV charging sector in the Netherlands is projected to soar from $537 million in 2024 to $1,380 million by 2028. This surge reflects the nation’s unwavering dedication to fostering an environment where electric mobility can thrive.

 

As the Netherlands leads the charge in Europe, it sets a powerful example of how a country can adapt and innovate to meet the demands of a sustainable future. The development of EV charging infrastructure in the Netherlands is a story of vision, growth, and an unwavering commitment to a cleaner, greener tomorrow.

The right cable for every application

EVC (Electrical Vehicle Charging) cables: These are the flexible, durable cables that connect the charging station to the electric vehicle. Designed to withstand frequent use and various weather conditions, these cables are specifically engineered to safely transfer power from the station to the vehicle. It's important to note that this cable is vehicle-bound, meaning it's typically compatible with a specific type or range of electric vehicles.

 

EVCS (Electrical Vehicle Charging Station) cables: These are the crucial infrastructure cables that run from distribution stations to the charging stations themselves. They serve a dual purpose, providing both power and facilitating communication to the charging stations. What makes EVCS cables particularly noteworthy is our innovative design - we combine power supply and communication functions into a single cable. This unique feature offers several advantages: it streamlines the installation process, making it significantly faster and more efficient. Additionally, it reduces the complexity of the charging station setup, potentially lowering costs and minimizing the chances of installation errors. This integrated approach to power and data transmission represents a significant advancement in EV charging infrastructure technology.

PRYCHARGE

A super-fast charging infrastructure

Consumers want to feel reassured that charging stations are as easy to find and use as gas pumps. Hence, Prysmian Group is supporting the European Combined Charging System (CCS) as the global standard for charging electric vehicles. By offering the best EV charging cables on the market, we are able to back up the ultra-fast CCS-standard charging infrastructure enabling EVs to replenish for up to 400 km of range in only 15 minutes with powers ranging from 150 kW to 350 kW.

Trends

Electric transport is sustainable and rapidly developing. The Netherlands and Northern Europe are leaders in the field of electric transport. In order to be able to charge easily, a good charging infrastructure is needed. A good charging infrastructure means installing charging stations along motorways, in (residential) areas, at companies, hotels and shopping centres. The growing demand for charging stations means that the charging infrastructure needs to be designed in a smart and efficient way. Draka has innovative solutions, specifically for the rapidly growing electrical vehicle charging (EVC) market
