The programme is conducted by AutoTech Breakthrough, a market intelligence organisation.
ADS-TEC Energy says its proprietary approach to battery-buffered EV charging allows ultra-fast (L3) charging on existing, power-limited electrical grids, enabling widespread, ultra-fast charging (up to 320 kW) without additional infrastructure power upgrades.
The technology can draw from sources as low as 50kW, making it possible for fleet operators, municipalities, service stations, auto dealerships and others, to quickly install ultra-fast EV chargers, even in locations where it was previously unavailable due to power-grid limitations, such as remote and rural areas.
The technology is available in the ADS-TEC Energy ChargeBox, which consists of the ChargeBox Booster, handling energy conversion and storage, and the ChargeBox Dispenser, which delivers the ultra-fast charge to EVs. A full charge can be provided in as little as 10 minutes. It was developed in conjunction with Porsche, which was first to deploy the system, installing ChargeBox in its dealerships throughout Europe and the US. ChargeBox is now being deployed more widely.
“For businesses seeking to offer EV charging, we believe this technology is truly a game-changer,” said Thomas Speidel, CEO, ADS-TEC Energy. “With ChargeBox, we’re making it easier and more affordable for businesses to install and offer EV charging, supporting the growing market demand and mandates for electric vehicles in the US and Europe.”
