22kW three-phase charger for delivery vans
Electric delivery vans usually return to the depot in the late afternoon or evening and need to be ready for the next shift. The EMS3-220-D is a 22 kW three-phase wall charger designed for this depot charging pattern. It runs on a 380–400 V three-phase supply at 32 A per phase and supports Type 2 or GB/T vehicle connectors. RFID card access, 0–12 h delayed start and a 2.8-inch display allow vans to be charged in rotation overnight without a DC fast charger.

Key Features
Built for the depot return pattern
Vans return between 17:00 and 21:00. The charger is designed for overnight rotation, not rapid top-up.
One charger per 2–3 vans, not per van
A depot does not always need one charger per vehicle. With a rotation schedule, one EMS3-220-D can serve two to three delivery vans overnight.
22kW matches 60–80kWh delivery vans
A 60 kWh van can go from 20% to 80% in about 1.6–2 hours. An 80 kWh van takes about 2.2–2.7 hours.
RFID links each session to a driver
Drivers tap a card and plug in. The charger records which card started each session. This helps depot managers check who charged which van.
Off-peak start without changing driver behaviour
Drivers plug in and leave. The 0–12 h delayed start begins charging at the night tariff. No app needed for basic charging.
2.8-inch display reduces night calls
Drivers can see charging power, session time and fault codes on the charger. If a van did not charge, the morning check is faster.
Applications
- Last-mile parcel delivery vans
- Grocery and food delivery vans
- Cold-chain and refrigerated vans
- Service and maintenance vans
- Depot and warehouse charging
- Overnight van rotation
- Fleets that do not need DC fast charging
Use Case
A last-mile parcel company in France runs seven electric delivery vans from a depot outside Lyon. The vans return between 17:30 and 21:00. The company installed three EMS3-220-D chargers on the depot wall. Each charger serves two or three vans in rotation overnight. Drivers use RFID cards linked to their names. The depot manager sets the delayed start to 23:30 when Wi-Fi is available, so the vans charge on the night tariff. In the morning, the 2.8-inch display shows which sessions completed normally. If a van did not charge, the manager can check the card number and ask the driver whether the connector was fully inserted.
FAQ
Q: How many chargers does a delivery van depot need?
A: It depends on arrival times, battery size and shift pattern. A common starting point is one charger per two to three vans for overnight rotation. For vans with large batteries or short turnaround, one charger per van may be needed.
Q: How long does it take to charge a delivery van with 22kW?
A: A 60 kWh van can go from 20% to 80% in about 1.6–2 hours. An 80 kWh van takes about 2.2–2.7 hours. Actual time depends on the onboard charger, battery temperature and state of charge.
Q: Can one charger serve multiple delivery vans overnight?
A: Yes, with rotation. One charger can typically charge two to three vans overnight, depending on arrival time, battery size and daily mileage. It cannot charge two vehicles at the same time.
Q: What input connection does a depot need?
A: The charger needs a 380–400 V three-phase supply, 32 A per phase, with neutral and earth. It uses a 32A 5-pin industrial plug (IEC 60309, 3P+N+E) or can be hardwired. A qualified electrician should confirm the site supply and protection.
Q: How are RFID cards assigned to delivery van drivers?
A: Each driver can have an RFID card linked to their name. The depot manager can add or remove cards through the on-screen menu, or through the app when Wi-Fi is connected. Confirm the maximum number of cards before ordering.
Q: Does scheduled charging work without Wi-Fi?
A: Yes. The 0–12 h delayed start can be set locally on the charger. The app requires Wi-Fi. If the depot has no Wi-Fi, use the on-screen menu or a separate router/hotspot.
Q: Can the charger be installed outdoors at a depot?
A: The enclosure is IP55, the connector is IP54, and the interface is IP55. It can be wall-mounted outdoors, but a covered or sheltered position is recommended for long-term durability.
Q: Is 22kW enough for a delivery van fleet?
A: For overnight depot charging, 22 kW AC is usually enough. It is not a DC fast charger. For rapid top-up during the day, a DC charger is required.
