Is the development of more integrated hardware making it easier to expand local EV charging networks?
Versinetic has released the CongaEEL and MinnoRay boards to help charger manufacturers streamline the production of dual-socket AC charging units. These modular components integrate power, safety, and communication functions to reduce overall assembly and testing requirements.
Why it matters
By simplifying the internal architecture of electric vehicle chargers, these components aim to lower the manufacturing complexity and compliance testing hurdles for companies building charging infrastructure. This could eventually lead to more streamlined designs in the residential and public charging market.
The new release features the CongaEEL power controller board, which is IEC 61851 compliant and supports the ISO 15118 interface, and the MinnoRay communications board with 1.6 OCPP compliance. Manufacturers can stack these boards to allow two CongaEEL units to share a single controller.
The players
Versinetic
A technology company that designs and builds hardware and software solutions for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
The details
The CongaEEL board handles core power functions by including a three-phase mains contactor and RDC-DD for safety. Meanwhile, the MinnoRay board manages connectivity through an integrated LTE Cat 1 bis modem, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth capabilities. By stacking these boards, designers can create dual-socket chargers with reduced wiring and assembly steps, effectively simplifying the integration of advanced charging protocols.

The Home Front
This release follows the industry-wide move toward standardized protocols like the ISO 15118 interface for more intelligent electric vehicle charging. These modular components reflect a broader shift in manufacturing toward reducing the complexity and testing costs associated with new residential chargers.
As new charger designs come to market, look for hardware that lists compatibility with the ISO 15118 interface to ensure your home station is ready for future grid-integration features. If you are shopping for a charger, verify that the unit is IEC 61851 compliant to ensure it meets established international safety standards.
The takeaway
Simplifying the internal components of chargers may eventually lead to more affordable and reliable options for homeowners. Keep these technical standards in mind when discussing installation requirements with your licensed electrician to ensure your home is equipped for long-term use.
