01
Charger supply & install
Selection, supply and installation of certified AC and DC chargers from leading global OEMs, matched to duty cycle and budget — not commission.
EV Charging Infrastructure
Workplace, fleet and destination EV charging — engineered properly.
Site assessment, electrical design, OCPP-compliant hardware, dynamic load management and operator platforms for AC and DC fast-charging deployments at any scale.
Overview
EV charging that survives the grid you actually have.
South African EV deployments live or die on the electrical infrastructure behind them. Promation SA combines control, electrical and software engineering to deliver charging infrastructure that integrates with existing supply constraints, manages load dynamically across multiple chargers, and connects to the operator and billing platforms you actually need — without locking you into one hardware brand. We design for the next ten years of EV growth, not the first three chargers.
AC & DC
7 kW to 240 kW+
OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1
Vendor-independent
Load-balanced
Dynamic site management
Problems Solved
The operational pain we remove.
Every engagement starts with the production, compliance and cost problems that brought you to us — not a generic feature list.
Mains supply that cannot handle multiple simultaneous chargers
Impact: Tripped main breakers, blackouts across the building and an EV programme that damages the very tenants it was meant to attract.
Chargers tied to a single proprietary network
Impact: Locked-in tariffs, no ability to switch operators, and stranded hardware if the vendor exits the market.
No clear billing or revenue reconciliation
Impact: Energy consumed but not recovered, disputes with tenants and fleets, and no defensible audit trail for finance.
Uncertified DIY installations that void insurance
Impact: Earthing, RCD and protection issues that fail the next inspection — and create real shock and fire risk.
Chargers failing with no remote visibility
Impact: Driver complaints, social-media damage and avoidable technician callouts to reset units that could have been diagnosed remotely.
No plan for solar, BESS or future supply upgrades
Impact: Infrastructure that has to be ripped up and re-laid within 24 months as EV uptake and renewable integration accelerate.
Key Capabilities
What we engineer, install and support.
02
Electrical design
Supply upgrades, distribution, protection, earthing and short-circuit studies by registered electrical engineers.
03
Dynamic load management
Site-wide load balancing across single or multi-charger sites so chargers share available capacity without tripping the mains.
04
Billing & access
Integration with operator platforms, roaming networks, RFID, mobile apps and tenant or fleet billing systems.
05
OCPP integration
Vendor-neutral OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 integration to any compliant backend — keeping operator and tariff choice in your hands.
06
Safety & compliance
Earthing, RCD type B strategy, surge protection and SANS-aligned installation with a full Certificate of Compliance.
07
Solar & BESS integration
PV and battery integration so chargers preferentially consume on-site renewable energy and reduce peak grid demand.
08
Remote monitoring
24/7 visibility into charger status, energy delivered, faults and utilisation with proactive alerting and reporting.
09
Cyber & access security
Segmented charger networks, certificate-based OCPP, role-based admin access and firmware update governance.

FAQ
Common questions.
Which chargers do you supply?
We are hardware-agnostic and work with leading OCPP-compliant AC and DC charger brands. We select on duty cycle, supply constraints, support footprint and budget — not on commission.
What if my supply can't handle multiple chargers?
Dynamic load management distributes available capacity across chargers in real time and can integrate with on-site PV or battery storage to extend effective capacity without a costly supply upgrade.
Can you connect to a specific charging network?
Yes. Any OCPP-compliant network — including major roaming and operator platforms used in South Africa — can be connected and reconfigured later if your operator changes.
Do you handle billing and revenue?
Yes. We integrate with operator platforms that handle tariff structures, RFID and app access, roaming and revenue reconciliation, including tenant, fleet and pay-per-use models.
Can you upgrade an existing installation?
Yes. We audit existing chargers, add OCPP gateway functionality where possible, retrofit load management and bring the installation up to current compliance standards.
Do you do fleet depots and logistics yards?
Yes. Fleet depots typically need scheduled, sequenced overnight charging with telematics integration — we design specifically for those duty cycles.
How is this maintained?
Under an annual SLA covering remote monitoring, firmware updates, electrical safety inspections and defined response times for on-site repairs.
What is the typical lead time?
Small workplace and destination installations are typically 4–8 weeks from order; larger DC and fleet sites depend on supply upgrades and civils, and we sequence accordingly.
