The rapid rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is changing the energy landscape – and smart energy stations are at the centre of this transformation. But as more users rely on EV charging infrastructure, the demand for reliable, sunlight-readable, and durable touch displays has never been greater. That’s where faytech comes in. Let’s explore how Touch Tech in Smart Energy Stations is evolving, why it matters, and how faytech’s high-performance displays are helping drive that evolution across Europe, Japan, and beyond.
Why Touch Technology Matters in EV Charging Stations
Smart energy stations aren’t just about electricity delivery – they’re customer experience hubs. From interactive vehicle identification to on-screen payments and advertising, these stations rely on responsive, visible, and robust touchscreens to provide essential services. Here’s what EV station operators and integrators demand:
- High brightness for visibility in direct sunlight
- Durability against impact and weather
- Reliable operation in harsh, remote, or high-traffic areas
- Capacitive multi-touch interfaces for a smooth user experience
- Custom integrations for license plate recognition, targeted advertising, and payment systems
faytech’s solutions exceed these demands with industry-leading technology built specifically for the challenges of outdoor environments.
The faytech Advantage: Engineered for the Elements
faytech’s high-brightness displays are not your average touchscreens. Purpose-built for EV charger displays, they offer:
Sunlight-Readable Displays
- 1000+ cd/m² brightness for crystal-clear visibility in full daylight
- Anti-glare (chemical etched) surface treatment
- Enhanced contrast with reduced reflections thanks to optical bonding
CoolCrystal® Technology
- Patented faytech innovation that adds UV and IR protection
- Reduces heat build-up from direct sunlight by over 35%
- Keeps screens cooler for longer, improving display longevity and clarity
Built Tough for the Outdoors
- IK07–IK10 impact resistance ratings
- Operating temperatures from -55°C to +85°C
- IP65-rated front protection for water resistance
These specs make faytech the go-to choice for display integration in even the harshest conditions – from Tokyo’s humid summers to remote mountain locations across Europe.
Real-World Applications: Smart Service Meets Smart Display
faytech displays are already making an impact across the globe:
-
Japan: License Plate Recognition for Targeted Marketing
- Deployed in Japanese gas stations, faytech’s 21.5″ displays enable license plate recognition, allowing operators to build customer databases, deliver personalized offers, and drive sales through targeted content.
-
Europe: Shell Recharge Charging Stations
- Across Europe, Shell’s Recharge EV stations feature faytech 43” & 10.1” outdoor monitors with CoolCrystal and optical bonding for enhanced visibility and durability. These screens run advertisements and usage instructions with exceptional brightness – even in direct sunlight.
Why Optical Bonding Is a Game-Changer
Optical bonding is a key differentiator in outdoor displays – and faytech leads the way.
- Reduces reflection by up to 65%
- Improves perceived brightness by up to 10%
- Seals out dust, humidity, and water
- Increases resistance to pressure and impact by up to 20%
faytech even uses a proprietary adhesive formula called CLEAR-BOND to ensure durability and performance across all conditions.
Glove-Friendly. Weather-Resistant. Future-Ready.
faytech’s capacitive touch technology is engineered for glove use and fine-tuned to avoid false touches from raindrops or humidity – making it ideal for outdoor users in all weather conditions.
This attention to detail reflects faytech’s deep expertise in capacitive touch interfaces, with in-house engineers focused solely on touch sensitivity and firmware optimization.
Redefining Touch Tech for a Greener Future
As EV adoption accelerates, touch tech in smart energy stations is becoming mission-critical infrastructure. faytech’s rugged, optically bonded, and highly visible displays are helping redefine the EV charging experience – with precision engineering that works 24/7, rain or shine.
Whether you’re an integrator, OEM, or energy provider, faytech delivers touch technology that meets the future of smart energy – today.
