ADS-TEC’s ChargeBox Dispensers can provide battery-buffered EV charging in indoor locations
ADS-TEC Energy has announced two new installation options for its battery-buffered ChargeBox system. The ChargeBox Dispenser can now be installed indoors, and the associated ChargeBox Booster outdoor battery—which was previously installed partly underground—can now be completely installed at ground level. The new installation options are available now in Germany, and are planned for other European… Read more »
Franklin Electric introduces switchgear for DC fast charging stations
Franklin Electric has introduced a new switchgear product that supports up to four 150 kW DC fast chargers. It’s part of the company’s new NexPhase line of EV products. “NexPhase is purpose-built to support the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) formula program, helping to enable EV charging site owners to maintain NEVI’s 97% charger uptime… Read more »
Automakers and infrastructure providers ask UK government for ZEV mandate
It’s anybody’s guess where the UK government stands on e-mobility and clean energy these days. Whatever one may think of Boris Johnson, he at least talked a green game, and his administration implemented some constructive pro-EV policies. His ill-fated successor put climate change deniers in charge of environmental policy, pushed a vast expansion of oil… Read more »
COMSOL’s Multiphysics software adds tools for vehicle electrification
Mathematical modeling software company COMSOL has released version 6.1 of its Multiphysics software, and the latest version includes modules that add analysis tools for vehicle electrification projects. “In the AC/DC Module, new functionality for rapid layout of motor windings and magnet arrays ensures a smooth workflow for electric motor design and analysis,” says the company….
