Volt Time launches advanced Source 2 EV charger

With features like dynamic energy tariff support, solar load balancing, and advanced security functions, the Source 2 is designed to cater to both residential and business customers, positioning itself as a disrupter in the competitive Dutch EV market with its future-proof technology and innovative design.

Key features include the MID Certified Metering, whereby users benefit from precise billing, making the charger ideal for both personal and commercial use. While the Lifetime 4G SIM and Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) Proxy work together to provide seamless connectivity and flexibility, allowing users to effortlessly switch between service providers without the risk of SIM lock or loss of connection.

A user-friendly app offers advanced features such as Dynamic Load Balancing, Solar Balancing, and Peak Shaving, allowing users to optimise energy consumption and costs by taking advantage of dynamic energy tariffs. These smart energy management features are essential for customers looking to reduce electricity bills and contribute to a more sustainable future.

For installers, the Source 2 is designed to make life easier. Its pluggable architecture ensures quick, straightforward installations, reducing labour costs and installation time, while its reliability guarantees top performance over the long term.

Versinetic played a critical role in bringing the Source 2 to market, providing a full suite of hardware and software solutions, including their MANTARAY and EEL charge controller hardware, along with BalanSea load balancing software. Their solar load balancing functionality is one of the core innovations that sets the Source 2 apart, ensuring optimal use of solar power for EV charging.

"Versinetic's technical expertise and hands-on approach have been invaluable in helping us develop a product that not only meets but exceeds the needs of our market," said Berend Simons, co-founder and General Director of Volt Time. "Their support throughout the development process, especially in overcoming challenges like Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) approvals, was critical to ensuring our product was ready for launch."

Versinetic’s involvement didn’t stop at supplying hardware. They worked closely with Volt Time to design the internal components, develop custom software, and provide guidance through complex regulatory approvals, including the notoriously challenging EMC testing process. This collaboration ensured the Source 2 charger would be ready for market with full compliance and cutting-edge functionality.

Berend Simons, General Director, Volt Time concluded: “By combining Versinetic’s expertise in EV charging technology with Volt Time’s vision, the Source 2 is positioned to meet the growing demands of the Dutch EV market. As Volt Time continues to innovate and expand its product line, the partnership with Versinetic will remain pivotal in ensuring that we deliver advanced, user-friendly solutions that support sustainable energy usage and smart energy management for a greener future.”
