Awareness of electromobility is continuously growing, and the automotive industry strives to produce more affordable electric vehicles (EVs). However, charging these vehicles can be problematic due to the lack of public chargers. This challenge inspired a team from Bosnia and Herzegovina, who recently presented their work after three years of development.
Recognizing the need for infrastructure development, which, like in many countries in the region, has yet to keep pace with the growing number of electric vehicles, a team of experts developed the first Bosnian electric vehicle charger with all domestic components. The members of this team, including Armin Durmišević (Director), Arslan Hajdarević, Denis Berilo, and Faruk Ćirić, are dedicated to creating innovative solutions. Together with several colleagues, they designed and built the charger.
– “Our team comprises top experts in software engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering.
IN FOCUS:
- KLM’s Efforts for Sustainable Aviation
- Sustainable Logistics Real Estate
- Reliable Solution – Solar Energy
The charger is a completely Bosnian product. Our expert team developed all blueprints, sketches, and hardware and software aspects in-house from the beginning. Everything you see on our charger results from our knowledge and experience,” explains Hajdarević. The charger was developed to improve electric vehicle infrastructure in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The team worked on it for over three years, continuously improving every aspect and component to offer the highest-quality product on the market.
The project progressed through several phases and versions, culminating in the current fourth version (v4) of the electronics. In each iteration, the focus was on enhancing functionality, safety, and efficiency. The charger is designed to operate across a wide temperature range, adhering to industrial standards to ensure reliability in various climatic conditions.
The standard cable length is five meters, adjusted to users’ needs. Regarding materials and operation principles, the team used components that precisely control current flow, ensuring safety and efficiency during vehicle charging.
They have produced several prototypes, and the company is also focused on obtaining certification to enter the European market. Each prototype underwent rigorous testing and internal quality control processes, followed by improvements based on test results.
They already hold several ISO certifications (ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001), positioning them highly in the market. Next month, they plan to send the charger for the final CE certification, making them one of the few companies in Europe with such recognition.
