ABB exec talks microgrids, switchgear and charger-agnostic systems
A public charging or fleet charging site—or pretty much any installation larger than one or two Level 2 chargers—consists of more than just the chargers that drivers interact with. Behind the scenes, you’ll find a transformer, a cabinet full of switchgear, and increasingly, microgrid elements such as battery storage and/or PV panels. ABB makes all… Read more »
Maximizing Efficiency In EV Charging With Eaton’s Battery Configuration Switch
An oft-cited concern about the transition to electric vehicles is the availability of high-speed Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) infrastructure to enable convenient travel beyond the single charge range of today’s vehicles. Many OEMs are considering a move to 800V architecture from the widely available 400V platforms of most mass market EVs. While this can… Read more »
