This is Standard for Safety for Direct Current (DC) Charging Equipment for Electric Vehicles. Gravity, an EV infrastructure firm, is installing 24 of these UL Certified charging systems at its new facility in Midtown Manhattan in New York City.
UL Solutions evaluated and tested six chargers and two power cabinets from Gravity to assess compliance with safety and performance requirements of UL 2202. This includes requirements for factors such as power verification, strength of materials, protection from sharp edges, stability, and mounting, which help protect users from risks while charging their EV. Gravity's certified products also underwent a wide range of performance tests before achieving certification to UL 2202.
"This is a massive breakthrough for urban charging that will help unlock widespread EV adoption by making it cheaper, faster and more convenient to charge a car than it is to pump gas,” said Moshe Cohen, founder and CEO of Gravity. “Certification to UL 2202 gives our partners confidence that this equipment delivers as promised regarding safety."
A global leader in applied safety science, UL Solutions transforms safety, security and sustainability challenges into opportunities for customers in more than 100 countries. The company is helping manufacturers of electric vehicle charging systems solve public and product safety challenges and drive performance in charging speed.
