Locking solutions for electric mobility

SCROLL

The future of mobility is electric, and at STUV, we provide the hardware that protects this technology in public spaces.

For manufacturers of electric charging stations and wall boxes, we offer locking systems that combine modern design, maximum vandal resistance, and intuitive usability. We know that a charging station must not only function properly but also be of high quality.

Our mounting system ensures that the sensitive charging electronics remain securely locked, while technicians can access them quickly and easily when service is required.

STUV is your partner for a robust and aesthetically pleasing charging infrastructure.

Challenges

Challenges for electric mobility

Charging stations are "user touchpoints" in public spaces and are therefore subject to extreme loads.

The biggest challenge is striking a balance between aesthetics and durability. The hardware must withstand extreme force and vandalism, yet it must not detract from the column’s often delicate and modern industrial design. Weather conditions such as driving rain, snow, and especially road salt in winter must not interfere with the locks’ mechanisms.

Since the available space inside a charging station is extremely limited due to power electronics, cooling systems, and cable management, the locking systems must be compact in design.

In addition, operators are increasingly demanding smart solutions: Access to the column for maintenance purposes is often intended to be keyless, via an app or RFID, which requires a mechanical interface for electronic actuators in the lock.

Solutions

Our solutions for charging stations

STUV's solutions for e-mobility are designed for maximum compactness and integration.

We offer concealed hinges and swing handles with minimal installation depth that complement the clean lines of modern charging stations without providing any points of contact for prying tools.

Our systems are "Smart Lock-ready": they can be easily combined with electromechanical actuators to implement digital access solutions.

By using highly weather-resistant surfaces, we ensure that the locks remain visually appealing and function mechanically flawlessly even after many years of outdoor use. Our special seals reliably protect the internal electronics from splashing water and moisture, even during high-pressure cleaning.

With STUV, you’re choosing a closure solution that perfectly combines stylish design with practicality for everyday use.

Weather resistance

Our locks are resistant to dirt, heat, cold, and UV radiation. They provide long-term protection for the electronics in charging stations against environmental factors, ensuring smooth operation in all weather conditions.

Corrosion resistance

Thanks to high-quality materials and special finishes, our locks are optimally protected against corrosion. Even in damp or salty environments, they remain smooth-operating and reliable over time.
