As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow across Latin America, countries like Guatemala are accelerating investments in reliable EV charging infrastructure. Recently, the PENODA team completed the installation and assembly of a 28kW Level 2 dual-gun DC EV charger for a local project in Guatemala, helping support faster, smarter, and more efficient charging solutions for commercial and public applications.
The project highlights how compact DC charging technology is becoming an ideal solution for emerging EV markets where businesses and operators need faster charging performance without the high installation costs of ultra-fast charging stations.
Why 28kW DC Charger Solutions Are Growing in Guatemala
The EV market in Central America is still developing, but demand for charging stations is increasing rapidly as more electric cars enter the market. Commercial parking areas, dealerships, apartment buildings, and fleet operators are searching for charging solutions that balance:
Fast charging speed
Lower infrastructure costs
Flexible installation
Smart connectivity
Reliable operation in outdoor environments
Compared with traditional AC chargers, compact DC chargers can significantly reduce charging time while avoiding the massive electrical upgrades required by large DC fast charging stations. This makes mid-power DC charging especially attractive for developing EV markets.
PENODA 28kW Dual-Gun DC Charger: A Practical Commercial Charging Solution
The installed system is based on PENODA’s 28kW dual-gun DC EV charging platform, designed specifically for commercial and destination charging scenarios.
Key Features
Dual-gun simultaneous charging capability
Compact wall-mounted structure
OCPP 1.6J smart communication support
RFID / APP / WiFi / 4G connectivity
CCS1 / CCS2 / GBT compatibility
IP55 waterproof protection
Commercial-grade reliability
PENODA’s DC wallbox solution bridges the gap between slow AC charging and expensive ultra-fast charging stations, making it ideal for retail parking lots, office buildings, hotels, and fleet operations.
Benefits of Dual-Gun Charging Technology
One of the biggest advantages of the PENODA system is its dual-gun charging capability, allowing two EVs to charge simultaneously. This greatly improves charger utilization and reduces waiting times in public or commercial environments.
For locations with limited parking spaces or moderate EV traffic, dual-gun charging offers several benefits:
Improved Charging Efficiency
Businesses can serve more vehicles with fewer charging stations, improving ROI and maximizing parking space utilization.
Better User Experience
Drivers spend less time waiting for available chargers, especially in commercial areas and fleet applications.
Lower Infrastructure Investment
Compared with installing multiple independent charging units, a dual-gun DC charger reduces hardware and installation costs.
Ideal Applications for the 28kW DC Charger
The PENODA 28kW dual-gun charger is particularly suitable for:
Shopping centers
Hotels and resorts
Apartment communities
Corporate parking lots
EV dealerships
Taxi and ride-sharing fleets
Public destination charging
For many businesses, this charging power level provides the “sweet spot” between affordability and charging speed.
Smart Charging Features for Modern EV Infrastructure
Modern EV charging stations require more than just power delivery. PENODA integrates intelligent charging management features into its charging systems, including:
Remote monitoring
OTA firmware updates
Dynamic load balancing
Mobile APP management
RFID user authentication
OCPP integration for charging networks
These features help operators manage charging stations more efficiently while preparing for future EV infrastructure expansion.
Reliable Performance for Outdoor Commercial Use
The Guatemala installation demonstrates the charger’s suitability for outdoor commercial environments. The charger is engineered with industrial-grade protection features including:
Over-voltage protection
Over-temperature protection
Leakage protection
Lightning protection
Waterproof and dustproof enclosure
Its IP55 and IK10 protection ratings ensure reliable operation in various weather conditions and public environments.
PENODA Continues Expanding Global EV Charging Projects
PENODA EV chargers have already been exported to more than 30 countries worldwide, supporting residential, commercial, and public charging projects across multiple markets.
The successful Guatemala project further demonstrates PENODA’s ability to provide flexible OEM/ODM charging solutions tailored to local market requirements.
Whether for commercial parking, fleet charging, or destination charging projects, PENODA continues helping global partners build scalable EV charging infrastructure with reliable and cost-effective solutions.
