Chargers

DC fast chargers in South Africa

High-power CCS2 charging for fleets, forecourts and dealerships, planned around your available supply.

30 to 180 kW

DC fast chargers we supply and install

DC chargers that add range in minutes rather than hours, for sites where vehicles can't stay parked for long.

When DC fast charging makes sense

DC charging suits places where time matters: fleet depots with quick turnarounds, forecourts and destinations where drivers stop for under an hour, and dealerships that need to charge stock and service vehicles fast. If cars park overnight or for a working day, AC charging is usually the better value, so start by looking at how long vehicles actually stay. The charger sizing tool is a quick first check.

What affects installation cost

The supply is the big one. Transformer capacity, the distance from the main switchroom, civil work for plinths and trenching, and any utility application all affect cost and timing. We scope these during a site assessment before quoting. For depot charging, see our fleet charging solution.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Speak with StrataCharge by phone, WhatsApp or email.

Does a DC fast charger need a new electricity supply?

Often, yes. A DC charger draws far more power than an AC wallbox, so many sites need a supply upgrade or a new connection from Eskom or the municipality. The site assessment tells you early whether that is likely.

Which connectors do your DC chargers use?

CCS2 is the main DC connector on new electric cars in South Africa. Some units also offer CHAdeMO for older vehicles, or an AC Type 2 outlet.

How long does a DC fast charger project take?

Hardware lead times and any supply application set the pace. Allow [X weeks] as a planning figure; we give you a programme with dates once the site and supply are confirmed.

Can we charge customers to use the charger?

Yes. Most DC units support card, app or QR payment through an OCPP-compatible platform. We help you choose the payment set-up during the project.
