More Power

The new Raption Generation surpasses its predecessors, the Circontrol’s DC chargers Raption 150 Compact and Raption 200, in terms of power. In addition, the new Raption Compact 240 not only features more power than Raption 200, but it also offers an all-in-one solution, integrating its power modules inside the charger.

European Compliant

The latest Raption Series comes equipped with a range of enhancements to meet the specific requirements set by various countries’ legislations. According to European standards, the screen and the holders have been placed in a lower position ensuring accessibility for handicapped individuals. Moreover, Circontrol’s new chargers will now offer an optional DC meter in markets where it is in demand.

More to come

The Raption series has more exciting novelties in store, extending beyond just these two new DC chargers. Circontrol is currently working on a new fast DC dual-charging product, set to be released at the beginning of 2024. These new products are part of the company’s preparation for 2025 when the European Union will require by law a fast-charging station installed every 60 Km.
