Lithuania Factory Powers Electric Fleet with PDA 40kW CCS2 DC EV Charger

Project Overview & Background

A leading manufacturing facility in Lithuania recently completed the installation of the PDA 40kW CCS2 DC EV Charger to support its rapidly expanding corporate electric vehicle (EV) fleet. As industrial enterprises shift toward green logistics, relying on standard AC chargers often leads to operational bottlenecks.

To eliminate vehicle downtime and maximize fleet utilization, the factory required a commercial-grade, high-efficiency charging solution capable of withstanding continuous daily use in an industrial environment. The Penoda PDA Series 40kW DC Fast Charger was selected as the ideal match.

Technical Specifications of the Deployment

To ensure seamless integration with the factory’s existing power infrastructure and vehicle types, the deployment featured the following core configurations:

• Power Output: 40kW DC Fast Charging (significantly faster than standard 7kW/22kW AC pillars).

• Connector Type: CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2), fully compliant with European EV standards.

• User Interface: 7-inch smart LCD touchscreen for real-time monitoring and authorized RFID access.

• Cable Length: 5-meter heavy-duty charging cable to provide maximum parking flexibility for logistics vans and staff cars.

Key Benefits Driving the Factory's ROI

1. High-Efficiency Fleet Turnover

With 40kW of direct current (DC) power delivering energy straight to the vehicle battery, the factory’s electric vans can achieve an 80% charge in a fraction of the time required by AC chargers. This ensures that logistics and delivery vehicles spend less time stationary and more time on the road.

2. Industrial-Grade Reliability & Certified Safety

The PDA series is engineered with robust protective housing (IP54 rated) to resist dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations common in industrial zones. It integrates advanced safety protocols, including over-current, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection, ensuring 100% safe operation by factory personnel.

3. Intuitive UI and Smart Fleet Management

The user-friendly 7-inch touchscreen displays critical data such as charging speed, time elapsed, and energy consumed. Combined with RFID card authentication, the factory management can restrict access to authorized corporate fleet vehicles only, preventing energy theft and simplifying cost accounting.

4. Optimal Ergonomics with 5m Cable

The industrial yard layout requires flexible parking. The durable 5-meter charging cable allows vehicles of various sizes—from compact passenger cars to oversized delivery sprinters—to plug in comfortably without complex maneuvering.

Proven Project Outcomes

Since the commissioning of the PDA 40kW CCS2 DC EV Charger in Lithuania, the factory has reported remarkable improvements in operational efficiency:

• 30% Reduction in Charging Downtime: Fleet vehicles return to service significantly faster.

• Seamless Usability: Factory operators adapted instantly to the intuitive touchscreen interface with zero training required.

• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): The smart power management system allows the factory to leverage off-peak electricity rates, reducing overall energy expenditure.

Conclusion

This successful deployment in Lithuania demonstrates that the PDA 40kW CCS2 DC EV Charger is not just a product for public charging networks, but a vital infrastructure asset for modern factories and corporate fleets. By investing in reliable DC fast-charging technology, industrial enterprises can accelerate their transition to sustainable, zero-emission logistics.
