[Electrification] Multi-Port EV Charger

Technology / Service Summary

Multi-Port EV charger reduces charging time and, thus, congestion at charging spots, while bidirectional charge/discharge control technology stabilizes voltage and eliminates grid congestion caused by REEV.
High-efficiency power conversion technology maximizes the potential of EVs as distributed energy resources.

Purpose

For realization of a carbon-neutral society, global shift from engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) is underway. However, there is a urgent need to expand charging infrastructure as congestion in charging area frequently occurs in highway and parking areas.
As the number of EVs with large capacity batteries and large commercial EVs is expected to increase in the future, there is a need for EV chargers that meet these quick charging requirement. Large capacity, Ultra fast, Multi-Port EV Charger is capable to satisfy these requirements.

Feature

- Multiple Charging Ports: Supports simultaneous charging for multiple electric vehicles, enhancing convenience.
- Fast Charging Capability: Delivers rapid charging to minimize downtime for users.
- Smart Energy Management: Integrates with renewable energy sources for optimized charging efficiency.

Effect

This charging solution significantly promotes the adoption of electric vehicles, contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and fostering a sustainable transportation ecosystem.
