South Africa takes a significant step forward in electric vehicle adoption with STS Tech Group's debut of advanced Smart Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure.
In a groundbreaking move, STS Tech Group, a leading provider of backup power, off-grid solutions, and solar systems, has unveiled its pioneering Smart EV charging infrastructure in South Africa. The innovative system, designed to be affordable and capable of withstanding local challenges, has already made its mark at Golden Arrow, where its implementation has proven to be cost-effective and seamless.
The Smart EV solution, developed in collaboration with Emarel Energy, has allowed Golden Arrow to make wise use of surplus solar power, significantly reducing their carbon footprint. The new EV chargers are designed to not charge during peak times and manage the load to prevent any large demand peaks during charging. During daytime charging, the chargers make use of energy produced from the onsite solar.
Each installation is executed with precision, from procurement to civil works, commissioning, and rigorous system testing. The process is ultimately supported by a smart, 24/7, off-site monitoring and management solution. This meticulous approach has enabled Smart EV to increase the City of Cape Town's supply from 1 MW to 3 MW, redesigning the infrastructure and metering onsite, and installing new EV chargers monitored through smart systems.
Mike Pritchard, Chief Experience Officer of STS Tech Group and Smart EV, states that the system sets trends and makes waves in the industry. Smart EV's implementation at Golden Arrow has saved 63% on the energy component of their business, demonstrating its effectiveness and efficiency.
In addition to its focus on sustainable EV infrastructure, STS Tech Group also offers smart security solutions, including advanced surveillance and access control for various sectors like homes, businesses, industry, agriculture, mining, and government.
With Smart EV, STS Tech Group has demonstrated its commitment to empowering people, creating jobs, and energizing a cleaner, more efficient tomorrow. The company boasts the largest EV charging capacity in South Africa, making it the country's clear leader in EV infrastructure. The Smart EV solution is a testament to the company's ability to combine innovation and scale effectively, paving the way for a greener future.
