DIMO’s Power and Energy division has unveiled EVO by DIMO, a specialized platform aimed at facilitating the swift expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Sri Lanka. This initiative, which encompasses charging capacities ranging from 11kW to 360kW, represents a crucial advancement in the country’s electric mobility landscape. With this platform, DIMO introduces the reputable Siemens line of commercial EV chargers to the local market, thereby reinforcing the groundwork for widespread EV adoption.
The Siemens commercial EV charging solutions are specifically designed for high-demand settings such as office buildings, shopping centers, hotels, hospitals, universities, and privately run EV charging stations. These chargers are tailored to address the increasing requirements of Sri Lanka’s EV sector, offering high-performance and energy-efficient charging options that enable commercial entities to establish top-tier infrastructure at competitive prices.
An exciting feature of EVO by DIMO is the introduction of Sri Lanka’s first dual-gun AC 22kW chargers, which carry an IP65 rating. These chargers provide a dependable and space-efficient option for hotels, resorts, offices, and other locations that require simultaneous charging for two vehicles, particularly suited for Sri Lanka’s humid outdoor conditions.
Looking towards the future, EVO by DIMO aims to create a comprehensive network of commercial EV chargers across the nation, all integrated through the EVO by DIMO App. This application will enable users to find nearby charging stations with real-time availability updates. Its “No Wallet Needed” feature allows for effortless payments through securely tokenized credit and debit cards, removing the need for maintaining prepaid balances. Additionally, users will have the ability to initiate and conclude charging sessions, track performance in real time, and receive notifications once charging is completed.
Furthermore, EVO by DIMO plans to roll out Sri Lanka’s first mobile DC roadside charging service, utilizing a 30kW DC charger in a dedicated roadside assistance vehicle for emergency charging on the spot. The Siemens EV chargers offered through EVO by DIMO will also feature NFC-based access, enabling hotels, offices, and other commercial facilities to implement customized charging solutions with controlled access and simplified authentication processes.
In addition to developing its own network, EVO by DIMO aims to serve as a reliable hardware supplier and service provider for other emerging EV charging network operators, thus contributing to the broader development of Sri Lanka’s charging ecosystem through advanced technology, engineering expertise, and robust after-sales support.
In remarks about the launch, Shehan Amaratunga, General Manager of Power & Energy at DIMO, stated, “The introduction of Siemens commercial EV chargers through EVO by DIMO signifies a vital move towards establishing a resilient and future-oriented charging network in Sri Lanka.”
With the backing of high-quality Siemens technology, comprehensive after-sales support, and DIMO’s extensive 85-year legacy in automotive and power engineering, EVO by DIMO is poised to significantly influence Sri Lanka’s shift towards more sustainable, intelligent, and efficient electric mobility.
