Dutch term or phrase: laadplein
Het aantal laadpunten groeit snel. Hierdoor zien we naast reguliere laadpalen, steeds vaker laadpleinen om invulling te geven aan de laadbehoefte van elektrische rijders. Laadpleinen bestaan in verschillende verschijningsvormen. De keuze voor een type laadplein is afhankelijk van de situatie.

Voordelen

Een laadplein bestaat uit meer dan twee laadpunten voor elektrische voertuigen die niet afzonderlijk op het net zijn aangesloten en samen dus één aansluiting hebben. Een Laadplein is dus geen cluster van standaard laadpalen. Het grote voordeel zit 'm in de aansluiting: die is centraal, op éen plek het net op. Wat kosten bespaart in de aansluiting.

charging station


Explanation:
An electric vehicle charging station, also called EV charging station, electric recharging point, charging point, charge point, electronic charging station (ECS), and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), is an element in an infrastructure that supplies electric energy for the recharging of plug-in electric vehicles—including electric cars, neighborhood electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.

Who can tell me the difference, if any, between a 'hub' and a 'station' ?

Here's the London electric vehicle infrastructure delivery plan

No plazas in there. :-)

A greater proportion of PHV drivers (when compared to taxi drivers) live in areas of London where only a minority of homes have off-street parking (Figure 18). The majority of private hire drivers will therefore not be able to charge their vehicle at home, so public charging provision will be required in residential areas to enable charging near home between shifts. This may be a combination of slow/fast charging on residential streets, fast/rapid charging at local facilities such as supermarkets, leisure facilities and service stations, and rapid charging stations on frequently travelled routes.

ChargePoint commits to delivering the hardware and software solutions for at least one rapid charging hub, in addition to the 5 public rapid charging stations it already operates in central London.

For rapid chargers – The proposed focus is on the development of rapid charging hubs, which we see as serving primarily high-mileage/business users who need fast and available charging. Multiple charge points in known locations serve to increase consumer confidence that they will find a reliable and available charger

UK terminology

Here is a definition from the UK.

The complete guide

With the UK’s charging infrastructure growing at a rapid rate, here’s what you need to know about charging stations

What is a charging station?

No concrete definition exists for charging stations, but in practical terms, a collection of two or more individual charging points amounts to a ‘station’. Don’t expect the full petrol-station forecourt experience, though: often a charging station will exist in the corner of a motorway services car park, or in a section of a shopping centre’s or town centre’s multi-storey.

--------------------------------------------------

Let's add a US definition as well:

1.7: “Electric vehicle charging station” means a public or private parking space that is served by battery charging station equipment that has as its primary purpose the transfer of electric energy (by conductive or inductive means) to a battery or other energy storage device in an electric vehicle. An electric vehicle charging station equipped with Level 1 or Level 2 charging equipment is permitted outright as an accessory use to any principal use.

Comment: This definition is modeled after a definition for “electric vehicle parking space” used in the City of Davis.22 The Davis definition has been modified to combine the parking and battery charging characteristics into one definition as these features are functionally related. As the electric vehicle charging station facility is not a parking facility, its interaction with accessibility provisions is different from that of a parking space (see Section 3.3).

Regarding allowed uses, Level 1 and Level 2 charging are expected to be a secondary use, not the principal use. However, Level 3 (i.e., Rapid or Fast) may be a primary use given their size and scale, as well as their potential to generate traffic and vehicle queuing, and therefore the need to mitigate the associated impacts. As such, Level 3 is to be permitted differently (see section 3.1).

The inclusion of permitted uses in the definition is meant to allow a jurisdiction to add EV charging stations categorically to existing allowed uses tables (see Section 3.1, Option 2). If a jurisdiction adds a new Allowed Uses table for the different types of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (see Section 3.1, Option 1), inclusion of permitted uses in the definition may not be necessary.

1.9: “Electric vehicle charging station — public” means an electric vehicle charging station that is (1) publicly owned and publicly available (e.g., Park & Ride parking, public library parking lot, on-street parking) or (2) privately owned and publicly available (e.g., shopping center parking, non-reserved parking in multi-family parking lots).

Comment: This definition is provided to clarify the variety of charging stations that are anticipated to be publicly available. 1

Vehicles and Traffic. This Chapter provides model regulations for when a local jurisdiction chooses to authorize enforcement for non-electric vehicles that park in electric vehicle charging station spaces or for electric vehicles parked out of compliance with posted days and hours of charging operation. These model regulations are only for electric vehicle charging station spaces located in publicly owned and/ or operated parking areas (e.g., on-street parking, municipal garages, park-and-ride lots, etc.). Signage for enforcement is included in Chapter 4: Street, Sidewalks and Public Places.

"Guidelines for the realisation of charging plazas



The number of electric vehicles is growing, and with it the demand for charging. As a result, in addition to regular charging stations, charging plazas are starting to become more prevalent. The charging plaza is an innovative charging solution that is still rapidly evolving, and for which many technological developments are expected. There are two different technical versions of charging plaza, and the choice of version depends on the situation.



Definition of charging plazas
For the sake of clarity, in these guidelines, a charging plaza is defined as follows:

'A charging plaza comprises more than two charging stations for electric vehicles which are not connected to the grid separately and share a single connection.'



3/16Guidelines for the realisation of charging plazas - 2019Charging plazasDefinition of charging plazasFor the sake of clarity, in these guidelines, a charging plaza is defined as follows:A charging plaza comprises more than two charging stations for electric vehicles which are not connected to the grid separately and share a single connection.A charging plaza is not a cluster of standard charging stationsAccording to this definition, a charging plaza is therefore not a concentration of individual charging stations, as these share the same power supply. For the construction of charging stations, also in concentration, please see NKL Uniform Standards for Charging.

Other definitions
• Charging point: The electric power is delivered through a charging point. A charging point may have one or several connectors in order to accommodate different connector types. Only one can be used at the same time. However, only one vehicle can be charged at a time.
• Charging station: A charging station is a physical object with one or more charging points. It also has an interface which may comprise a status LED or display, keypad and a payment card/RFID reader
• Charging infrastructure: The total infrastructure associated with the charging station(s), including the main connection, charging station, charging point and cables."

"Electric vehicle charging
Definitions and explanation

Version: January 2019



Load balancing / Charging plaza[xi]
A charging plaza consists of several charging points that share a single connection to the electricity network. The charging plaza allocates the available capacity to the charging points based on the demand at a given time, allowing electric vehicle drivers to charge their vehicles optimally. This is referred to as “load-balancing”. Charging speed is adjusted automatically as soon as maximum capacity is reached.

Reference: Terminologische verwarring

Reference information:
De term 'laadplein' verwijst (meestal zo niet altijd) naar een laadlocatie die meerdere laadstations/laadpalen omvat en niet naar (de) afzonderlijke laadstations/laadpalen. De laadstations zijn via één centrale aansluiting verbonden met het electriciteitsnetwerk (wat 'load balancing' mogelijk maakt) en uitgerust met een of meerdere laadpunten.

Naast de al genoemde opties zou je eventueel ook nog 'charging pool' als vertaling kunnen gebruiken. Al deze opties zouden voor de duidelijkheid ook kunnen worden uitgebreid met 'load-balancing'. Dus: load-balancing charging plaza/park/hub/pool.

2.3 Definitions and Abbreviations

Charging Connector
A Charging Connector is an interface to deliver electricity (a plug, a socket ….)

Charging Point
A Charging Point, synonym of EVSE, is the energy supply element. An electrical vehicle can be connected to a Charging Point on one of its connectors.

A Charging Point may have several Charging Connectors but only one vehicle could be charged at a time on a Charging Point.

Charging Pool
A Charging Pool is a location where we can find charging infrastructure elements. A Charging Pool may contain several Charging Stations.

Charging Station
A Charging Station is a physical element, visible for the users, on which we find Charging Points.
The Charging Station is also the “Human-Machine Interface” (HMI) between the charge
infrastructure and the end users.
https://www.gireve.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Gireve_Tec...

En zie verder ook:

Als op een laadplein meerdere elektrische auto’s aan het laden zijn, verdeelt het laadplein op basis van de actuele vraag het beschikbare vermogen evenredig over de aanwezige laadpunten die in gebruik zijn. Die verdeelstrategie wordt aangeduid met de Engelse term ‘load balancing’. Door ‘load balancing’ wordt overbelasting voorkomen.
Ook bij een thuislaadpunt kan sprake zijn van load balancing. Om load balancing mogelijk te maken heb je naast een slimme laadpaal of laadstation ook een module nodig die het stroomverbruik in huis meet. Dit stukje techniek wordt in de meterkast geplaatst, en communiceert via een datakabel met het laadstation. Omdat de totale stroomcapaciteit bij de laadpaal bekend is, en de module het huidige verbruik aan de laadpaal doorgeeft, weet de laadpaal precies hoeveel stroom beschikbaar is om de auto mee te laden. Op deze manier wordt de capaciteit van de netaansluiting optimaal benut.
https://oostgroen.nl/kennisbank/load-balancing/

Laadlocatie / Oplaadlocatie / Laadsite
Een locatie met een of meer laadstations met daarbij behorende laadplekken/laad-parkeervakken. De laadlocatie is een relevant object voor representatie van laadinfrastructuur op een topografische kaart. Belangrijk elementen in de definitie: Terrein met één adres / op één GPS-locatieiv; Eén Charge Point Operator.

Laadstation / Laadpaal / Oplaadpaal / Laadzuil
Een laadstation is een fysiek object met één of meer laadpunten. De interface op het laadstation kan bestaan uit een status led of display, toetsen en een betaalpas/RFID-lezer. Ook zijn er laadstations die werken zonder deze elementen en zonder dat er identificatie door middel van een pas nodig is. Dit zijn zogenaamde ‘plug & charge’ –laadstations waarbij via inpluggen van de kabel het voertuig automatisch wordt geïdentificeerd. Belangrijk element in de definitie: één user interface.v

Laadpunt
De elektrisch energie wordt geleverd via een laadpunt, de elektrische aansluiting op een laadstation. Een laadpunt kan meerdere connectoren (‘outlets’ of ‘plugs’) bevatten. Dat is om voertuigen met verschillende typen stekker (zie H3) te kunnen bedienen. Belangrijk element in de definitie: Er kan niet meer dan één auto tegelijk laden. Met andere woorden: per laadstation zijn het aantal laadpunten en laadparkeervakken gelijk.
