Every hardware manufacturer can offer different backend operators that are compatible with its charging stations. ABL offers the possibility to integrate almost any backend.

There are various communication options for establishing communication with the backend. On one hand, communication can take place with the aid of LTE via a SIM card. On the other hand, it is possible to communicate with the backend via the integration of an existing LAN. Currently, ABL also offers communication via wireless LAN.

An internal temperature monitor is integrated to protect the charging station from overheating. For this purpose, the charging current is automatically limited to a safe level. Electronic overcurrent protection also protects the charging cable from overloading.

No, IEC 62196-2 stipulates for safety reasons that during charging the plug must be locked inside the charging socket both on the infrastructure side and on the vehicle side.

According to the EU Parliament's draft law, type 2 has been the European standard for charging infrastructures since April 2014. However, there are adapter charging cables that can connect a charging station equipped with a type 2 socket to a vehicle equipped with type 1 plug.
