Charge point is ready to speed up things.
On Thursday, the EV charging company revealed the new AC level 2 EV chargers that the speed of normal level 2 chargers has been doubled. The new architecture also supports bilateral charging, so owners can use their EVs to strengthen their home or business if needed. It is expected that the first new models will arrive in the United States later this year.
The charge point says its next general level 2 chargers have been classified for 90 MPS and can provide 19.2 kW of electricity, which allows EV owners to charge their batteries from zero to 100 % in “about Four four hours”. This is a significant addition to today’s market.
Level 2 chargers are commonly used as a home charger for EV owners, which plugs into 220 volt outlets and supply 15 to 80 MPS. For most levels 2 chargers, the charging rate may vary dramatically, with a typical 240 volt, 24-KW constant strength and faster, 80-amp chargers provide speed up to 19.2 kW. Famous Home Flex Chargers of Charge PointFor example, 50 MPS and 12 kW are classified. The company says today’s announcement represents a “racist leap” in the technology that strengthens its chargers.
The company considers its new architecture that from residential home chargers, from multiple plugs for apartments buildings, is being used for different purposes used for various purposes for business fleet owners for different purposes and chargers. The charge point did not release the price list, but the company said the prices would start below $ 1,000 and would move forward in terms of model. The company supports both CCS and NAC ports.
Bilateral charging is often considered the next thing for EV owners. Many EVs sold today have bilateral capabilities, and now, the charge point is developing a charger with the same capabilities.
Two -way charging It works exactly as it sounds: with non -shelves (Oneway) EV chargers, electric flow from a power grid to the power vehicle; With bilateral (bilateral) EV chargers, electricity can flow in both ways. The summary is that it treats high -capacity lithium -ion batteries not only as a tools to power the EV but also as a backup storage cell, which also sends electricity to other electrical appliances, an entire home, or even energy -saving electric grid.
Many car makers are selling home (V2H) charging equipment from their home so that people who own EVs with bilateral charging can use their vehicles to provide electricity to their homes during blackout. The Charge Point says its new level 2 chargers can do the same thing, which can allow EV owners to supply electricity to power plants or commercial buildings or transfer energy to the grid.
The new chargers also have a dynamic load balance. And they will be able to connect with smart home systems, such as solar charging, home batteries, and smart management systems.
In addition, hardware has been significantly upgraded, the charge point says. The new level 2 chargers will feature the series wiring capabilities, which will enable a flat depot, a multi -family housing garage, or even a single family home that will have two EVs to maximize charging without expensive service upgrades.
According to the company, the charge point has 61 % of the public -2 charging market, which is why it is a dominant player in the EV charging space. The company says the new architecture complies with applicable rules and regulations, including the instruction of measurement devices (Mid) And Eichrecht In Europe and Energy Star In the United States
The charge point plans to start their new level 2 chargers starting with Europe this summer, followed by North America at the end of the year.
