For the first time, Monta, a Danish firm, published a performance ranking of electric vehicle (EV) chargers, this Wednesday. The firm analysed 260,000 EV chargers connected to its platform, which were primarily in Europe. In the publication, the firm showed the chargers ranked by their ‘performance score’. The firm calculated this score metric from two parameters — the charger uptime, and the percent of charge sessions that went successful without hardware or software or user interruptions.
The AC — slower chargers — and DC — fast chargers — ranking was provided in two separate tables. AC chargers performance was topped by a Mennekes EV charger, with performance score 94.65. Among DC chargers, five charger models by Alpitronic took the top spots, with performance score reaching 96.54. The Driven, an Australian news site, noted that ‘9 out of 10’ of the top performing DC chargers from Monta’s report were available for sale, and were in use — by Ampol AmpCharge and BP Pulse — in Australia.
The firm noted that the published results provided motivation for EV chargers to adopt these benchmarks in marketing, and further develop their products to increase performance and uptime.
The Monta’s EV charger ranking program was launched in June last year.
