The future of high-powered EV charging: download the technical considerations guide
Sponsored by TTI. The automotive industry is focusing on providing faster charging infrastructure. Today’s available DC fast chargers, providing between 50 to 200 kilowatts of power, typically can add about 200 miles of driving range in one hour. This may be sufficient for many use cases, but for long-distance travel, a one-hour charge simply isn’t… Read more »
