The evec EDP02 is a dual-socket 22kW pedestal EV charger for three-phase commercial sites that need faster shared AC charging from one freestanding charger position.

Some commercial sites need more than a single charging bay, but do not want to jump straight to DC rapid infrastructure or multiple freestanding cabinets. EDP02 is designed for that situation. It gives two Type 2 sockets on one pedestal, using a three-phase 22kW platform that can serve two vehicles from a dedicated ground-mounted location. That makes it especially relevant for workplaces, hotels, apartment-style parking, leisure venues, councils and other public or semi-public locations. evec positions the product within the vecSPRINT range, which combines accessible design, app-led control, OCPP connectivity and payment-ready commercial features. The result is a charger that is built to fit real shared parking schemes rather than a domestic charger simply moved onto a pole.

• Power output: 22kW dual-socket charging on a three-phase platform
• Format: freestanding pedestal with two Type 2 sockets
• Vehicle compatibility: works with Type 1 and Type 2 vehicles when paired with the correct leads
• Connectivity: built-in 4G with Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity across the vecSPRINT range
• Control: OCPP 1.6J, evec app, RFID, Monta and pay-to-charge options
• Protection: three-phase PEN fault detection, IP55 weather protection and IK10 impact resistance
• Best suited to: two-bay higher-turnover charging where no practical wall location exists

Dual 22kW pedestal for busy shared bays

The main reason to choose EDP02 is throughput. A dual-socket three-phase pedestal can serve two vehicles from one charger position while still delivering faster AC charging than 7.4kW platforms can usually provide. That makes it a practical choice for business premises, hospitality sites, mixed-use developments and public-facing parking where vehicles may stay for part of the day but still need meaningful energy added. It is not a rapid charger, but it does create a stronger charging offer than lower-output AC pedestals. For specifiers comparing options in commercial EV chargers, EDP02 is the top AC pedestal in the vecSPRINT family rather than a halfway step between wall boxes and DC hardware.

Freestanding charger layout for open parking areas

Many sites need the charger in the bay, not against the building. That is the practical reason the pedestal format matters. A wall may be too far from the vehicles, may sit on the wrong side of the parking lane, or may create poor cable routes that cut across pedestrian space. EDP02 avoids those layout compromises by placing the charger where it best serves the bays themselves. That can make the overall parking arrangement cleaner and more intuitive for drivers. On hotels, visitor car parks, company sites and apartment-style developments, this often leads to a better everyday experience than forcing the charger onto a wall just because one is available somewhere nearby.

Two Type 2 sockets for shared flexibility

EDP02 uses two Type 2 sockets, which is a strong commercial format because it keeps the charger universal and leaves the lead choice to the user. That helps the site support both Type 1 and Type 2 vehicles with the correct cables and avoids committing the installation to permanently attached leads. In shared-use environments, that flexibility matters because different users, fleets and visitor vehicles may all arrive over time. A socketed pedestal is also easier to keep visually tidy between sessions, which helps in public-facing environments where charger appearance and order are part of the wider site impression. In short, the two-socket layout gives the site more compatibility without the added clutter of fixed leads.

PAS 1899 design and visible LED lighting

Accessibility is particularly important on a dual-bay pedestal because multiple users may approach it from different directions and may not know the site’s charging setup in advance. evec states that the vecSPRINT range is designed in accordance with PAS 1899 when installed at the specified height, which gives specifiers a clearer route into accessible bay design. The range also uses an LED-lit, screen-led interface that improves visibility and charger legibility in darker car parks and evening-use locations. Those details support the practical side of shared charging. A charger that is easier to locate, easier to read and easier to understand is less likely to create confusion, blocked bays or unnecessary support calls from site staff.

OCPP, Monta, RFID and payment-ready operation

Once a charger serves two bays, commercial control becomes central to the buying case. EDP02 supports OCPP 1.6J, the evec app, RFID access and a plug and charge or pay-to-charge experience through the chosen back-office system, defaulted to Monta by evec. The wider vecSPRINT platform also supports payment routes such as Payter and vecPAY. That gives site operators room to choose how the charger is used. One site may want staff-only access. Another may want guest charging. Another may want fully monetised public access during some hours and restricted access at others. Because the charger is designed around these shared-use possibilities from the outset, it is easier to integrate into the wider commercial model rather than bolting payment and access rules on later.

Three-phase 22kW with load management

EDP02 is the three-phase pedestal in the range, which is why it can move more energy into vehicles during a useful daytime dwell period. That is important on workplaces, visitor parking and hospitality sites where 7.4kW charging can be too slow to make the bay feel worthwhile. evec also lists load management and the wider vecSPRINT control platform, which are important because a dual 22kW charger must work sensibly within the available site capacity. For more controlled electrical planning, a compatible three-phase load balancer kit can support a better managed installation and help the site avoid oversizing around worst-case assumptions. That makes EDP02 easier to justify on real commercial premises rather than only on ideal new-build supplies.

Three-phase PEN protection, IP55 and IK10 build

Commercial pedestals need strong physical and electrical fundamentals. evec lists three-phase PEN fault detection so no earth rod is required, together with IP55 dust and weather protection, CE and UKCA approval and a charger body built for outdoor service. Across the vecSPRINT range, IK10 impact resistance is also highlighted, which is important because freestanding chargers live directly in the parking environment and are more exposed to accidental knocks than wall-mounted units. These details matter because a dual-bay pedestal is likely to see regular repeated use. The charger therefore needs to stay understandable, visible and durable over time, not just deliver a strong power figure on paper.

Choosing EDP02, ESP02 and EDP01

Choose EDP02 when the site has three-phase supply, needs two sockets from one freestanding charger position and wants faster AC charging than a 7.4kW pedestal can offer. ESP02 remains the right fit where only one socket is needed from the same higher-output pedestal format. EDP01 is the better choice where two sockets are still required but the site is working on a single-phase 7.4kW platform. Put simply, EDP02 is the highest-capacity AC pedestal in the vecSPRINT range. It is the model to pick when the site wants the layout advantages of a pedestal, the flexibility of dual sockets and the stronger energy delivery of three-phase charging.
