Key benefits of the detachable cable design include improved uptime by reducing downtime caused by damaged cables; future-proof design to allow easy adaptation to new charging standards as the industry evolves; and enable smaller charger units, ideal for urban environments.
This innovation addresses a critical need for reliable and accessible public EV charging, particularly in densely populated areas. Itselectric partnered with Gyre9, a Connecticut-based product development company, to bring the Brooklyn-718 to market.
“The Brooklyn-718 provides cities with an immediately deployable solution to meet their on-street charging needs,” said Nathan King, CEO of Itselectric.
Both Itselectric and Gyre9 are committed to advancing accessible and safe EV charging solutions. TÜV Rheinland, a global leader in safety and certification, played a crucial role by granting the Brooklyn-718 its UL certification. This marks a significant step towards a more robust and user-friendly EV charging infrastructure in North America.
