U.S. Energy has added a smaller model to its Volt Vault mobile EV charging line. The Volt Vault Lite is a trailer-based DC fast charging unit built on a 22-foot platform that can be towed by a mid-sized pickup truck.

The unit offers two ports of Level 3 charging at up to 60 kW and can run on propane, utility natural gas or renewable natural gas (RNG). The company says the Lite model is aimed at fleets that need fast charging in locations where grid infrastructure isn’t available or where charging is only needed temporarily. Lead time is four months.

“Solving for EV charging shouldn’t feel like a game of ‘would you rather’ and with Volt Vault Lite, it won’t,” said Jerry Miller, director of business development. “The Lite model is ideal for fast charging in areas that just can’t get the necessary electrical infrastructure or when charging infrastructure is only needed for short durations.”

The Volt Vault product line is now deployed across 15 states, according to the company.
