At Chargepoly, we have chosen to design charging stations that combine performance, durability, and environmental responsibility. Our approach is based on three pillars: reparability, eco-design, and interoperability, to ensure a minimal environmental impact while guaranteeing a robust and scalable infrastructure for electric fleets.
Optimal reparability for extended lifespan
Our charging stations are designed for a minimum lifespan of 15 years, thanks to the use of standard and easily accessible components on the market. This approach guarantees:
- Simple, fast maintenance, without proprietary dependence: any qualified IRVE 3 maintainer can work on our stations, without proprietary restriction.
- Reduced operating costs and an extended equipment lifespan.
- Maximum infrastructure availability, essential for fleet managers.
Noble materials for better recyclability
The environmental impact of a charging infrastructure is not limited to its use, but also to the materials it is made of. Chargepoly prioritizes:
- Steel and copper, known for their high recyclability and robustness.
- Mechanical screw assembly, allowing for easy disassembly and a high degree of material recovery.
- Strict compliance with the requirements of the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, ensuring optimized end-of-life management.
Short circuits for reduced environmental impact
We have chosen local production to limit the carbon footprint of our charging stations while supporting a quality French industrial fabric. By locally producing our key components, we limit transport distances, reduce associated emissions, and ensure complete traceability of our supply chain.
- Cabinets and electronic boards: produced in Aix-en-Provence (13)
- Electrical plates: manufactured in Valence (26)
- Mechanical manufacturing, sheet metal work, and final assembly: carried out in Glos (14)
This local industrial model allows us to guarantee a high level of quality, better responsiveness in production and maintenance, as well as a more resilient supply, less vulnerable to international logistical disruptions.
This logic also applies to our subsidiaries. In Quebec, Chargepoly Canada has obtained “Made in Quebec” certification for its 240 kW power cabinet. By promoting the integration of components and materials from the local economy, we strengthen our commitment to responsible manufacturing. A concrete example: the use of Quebec-sourced aluminum for the manufacture of our cabinets, further minimizing our carbon footprint.
Interoperability and scalability: an infrastructure geared towards the future
Our stations are designed to be compatible with all OEMs and to adapt to technological changes. Thanks to an open architecture and dynamic load management, they allow for:
- Total flexibility in the choice of vehicles to be charged.
- Adaptation to regulatory and technological changes.
- Easy integration into existing energy management ecosystems.
By combining eco-design, reparability, and interoperability, Chargepoly is committed to providing sustainable and high-performance charging infrastructures, actively contributing to the energy transition of transport fleets.
