Siemens SICHARGE UC charging center is the core of the whole system developed by Siemens in order to make easier and smarter the management of an electric fleet of vehicles. The charging center, the actual core of the system, contains the charging controller and the DC converters. The cable connected frontend of the UC family can be installed close to the vehicle(s), making it possible to save space within the depot.

Have a look.
