Charging reimagined!

With its innovative approach, Rheinmetall is unlocking a completely new dimension of electric charging. By utilizing existing urban infrastructure and delivering high charging performance, a fully-fledged alternative to conventional charging stations is presented.

In particular, the Curb Charger helps solve the problem of limited space in both urban and rural areas and enables a quick, easily expandable, and cost-effective installation of new, publicly accessible charging points.

How do we do it?
Modular housing design
31615

The Rheinmetall Curb Charger was developed for easy installation, quick service and maintenance work. Via CurbSwap, the installed electrical module can be completely removed from the curb and exchanged with a replacement module. A quick connector re-establishes the module to the low-voltage network in no time.

The result? Unparalleled cost savings during construction and electrical installations by utilizing dummy curbs across the area, while minimizing any potential downtime for maintenance at individual charging points.

Smart connectivity
31618

Equipped with standardized interfaces, integrated 4G modem and Ethernet, our Curb Charger takes communication to the next level. Seamlessly exchange data between the charger and backend systems using the certified OCCP 1.6 communication standard.

The advantage? Real-time information on charging sessions, customer reservations, and the status of charging points, along with the ability to perform over-the-air software updates. This ensures that the Rheinmetall Curb Charger is always up-to-date with the latest technology advancements.

Innovative cooling and heating concept
31609

A well-thought-out cooling concept enables reliable operation at high outside temperatures and prevents overheating. In addition to targeted heat exchange, integrated temperature monitoring ensures optimal charging performance.

At sub-zero temperatures, a built-in heating system ensures visibility and reliable snow- and ice-free operation of the charger.

Electric charging: even when it's raining
163929

Encapsulated electronic components (IP68) and the charging socket equipped with seals and water drains enable reliable charging even in the rain. If water accumulates on the street and compromises a safe charging process, a water level sensor interrupts the process before the residual current device (RCD)
is triggered.

Safety first
31612

In the event of electrical faults, the integrated surge protection as well as the permanent contact adhesive and PE monitoring offer additional safety for people, electrical cars and connected systems.
