What this charger is and who it suits

Rolec UltraCharge 30kW Single CCS2 Rapid EV Charger, product code EVDC7010, is the compact DC model in Rolec’s UltraCharge range. It is designed for commercial and public locations that want a true rapid DC charging offer but do not need a large cabinet or the site load associated with higher-output units. That makes it a very practical option for hotels, offices, retail car parks, public destination charging bays, light fleet sites and mixed-use business premises.

The key attraction of the UltraCharge 30 is that it gives a site access to DC charging in a more compact and lower-investment format. For many businesses, that is the right step. AC charging may be too slow for the site’s dwell pattern, but 60kW or 120kW infrastructure may be more than the location needs. The UltraCharge 30 fits cleanly between those two extremes.

Charging format and output

Rolec describes the UltraCharge 30 as offering one DC charging output and up to 30kW charging speeds. The datasheet lists one CCS2 connector delivering up to 30kW via an 80A rated charging cable, with a 5m cable as standard and an optional 7m cable available. That is a useful specification for sites where a driver is likely to stay for a meaningful but not very long period, such as a hotel stop, a workplace visit, retail parking or a short service appointment.

The charger is not intended to compete with very high-powered forecourt equipment. Instead, it is designed to provide a faster DC top-up in a smaller and more manageable package. For many sites, that balance is precisely what makes it commercially appealing.

Compact installation and mounting flexibility

One of the strongest practical advantages of EVDC7010 is installation flexibility. Rolec states that the UltraCharge 30 is an ideal wall or pedestal mounted solution and lists optional single or dual pedestal mounting in the datasheet. Published accessories include the UltraCharge 30 mounting pedestal EVAD7010, the UltraCharge 30 dual mounting pedestal EVAD7020 and a ground mounting base GMUC0010.

That matters because installation space is often the deciding factor on smaller commercial projects. A compact DC charger that can be wall mounted can open up locations that would struggle to accommodate a larger freestanding rapid charger. The published charger dimensions of 550mm x 700mm x 200mm and weight under 65kg underline just how much smaller this unit is than the UltraCharge 160 family.

Commercial controls and network integration

Rolec states that the UltraCharge 30 supports plug and charge, mobile app activation and RFID-controlled charging, with an optional RFID, NFC and contactless card payment terminal. The user interface includes an 8 inch HD touchscreen display with advertising capability and LED status indication. This is important because it means the charger is suitable for customer-facing use and not only for private back-of-house fleet charging.

For network integration, Rolec lists OCPP 1.6J with OCPP 2.0.1 upgradable, plus 4G and Ethernet connectivity. That allows the charger to integrate with compliant back-office management systems and mobile apps, which is important for access control, payment, reporting and remote support. Rolec also states that the charger supports over-the-air firmware and software updates.

Accessibility, protection and site durability

Rolec’s datasheet states that the UltraCharge 30 conforms with PAS 1899 accessible charging standard, which is a significant advantage for sites that need to consider usability and accessibility from the outset. The charger is also listed as IP55 and IK10 rated, with stainless steel body construction and an all-weather powder-coated finish. Operating temperature is published at -25°C to +50°C, with humidity from 5% to 95% non-condensing and altitude under 2000m.

Those figures matter because they confirm that the UltraCharge 30 is intended for genuine outdoor commercial service rather than sheltered indoor use only. For operators, that makes it easier to specify confidently in exposed car parks and open-access locations.

Technical details that matter in practice

Rolec lists 96% peak efficiency for the UltraCharge 30 and an ultrawide constant power output voltage range of 375V to 1000V. Protection features listed in the datasheet include under and overvoltage protection, DC overcurrent protection, over-temperature protection and surge protection. The charger uses air cooling and is described as modular for reliability and reduced maintenance.

These details are important because they show the unit is not simply a downsized charger body. It is designed as a proper commercial DC charging platform with the controls, communications and protection features required for day-to-day operational use.

Why this exact variant may be the right choice

EVDC7010 is the right choice where the site wants a single-outlet DC charger that is compact, commercially connected and easier to place than a larger rapid charger. It is particularly well suited to hotels, restaurants, smaller workplaces, mixed-use commercial sites and public destination charging locations where a single CCS2 rapid outlet is enough and where the project benefits from lower space and infrastructure demands.

It is also a strong option where accessibility and presentation matter, thanks to PAS 1899 compliance, touchscreen interface and optional pedestal or payment upgrades.
