Fastcharge is a Norwegian CPO for stations for heavy items autos. The corporate plans to function a number of public charging stations for vans in Norway by the top of the 12 months. The primary public hub went on-line within the Alnabru district of Oslo on the finish of July. Areas in Ringsaker, Sandefjord, Gjesdal, Bergen and Malvik will observe within the coming months.
The charging park in Oslo has stations with a capability of as much as 400 kW per CCS charging level. Megawatt charging utilizing the MCS commonplace will even be attainable sooner or later. The charging infrastructure associate is {hardware} producer Kempower, which cooperates with Wennstrom, a supplier of clever electrical mobility options, which acts as a gross sales and repair associate within the mission. The duo will even present the charging infrastructure for the opposite deliberate Fastcharge hubs.
Kempower depends on a decentralised precept for its DC charging stations. The facility models with the management know-how may be positioned a number of metres away from the charging station. The charging station, also referred to as a satellite tv for pc charger, can thus be compact and slim, which minimises the area required on the parking area itself. Usually, two 600 kW models can provide a number of HPC satellites for electrical vehicles. Within the connected press photograph for the Oslo web site, 5 energy models may be seen feeding 9 satellites. Truck drivers can reserve the positioning’s Kempower chargers utilizing the Fastcharge app.
The chargers can later be upgraded to MCS. Kempower offered a corresponding system in April. Particularly, two energy models are bundled (2×600 kW) and used for a satellite tv for pc. This then has a liquid-cooled MCS charging plug and may thus ship a complete output of 1.2 megawatts to the charging automobile.
Erik Kanerva, Kempower Gross sales Director for Northern Europe, described the mission as “pioneering.” “Providing public, on-the-move charging for vans that’s dependable, scalable, and user-friendly is crucial for the adoption {of electrical} vans. We look ahead to constructing many extra truck charging stations collectively.”
“We intention to be the pure alternative for transportation firms by providing a premium service, and on the similar time facilitating the transition to electrification of the transportation fleet with diminished whole price of possession,” added Harald Grytten, CEO at Fastcharge.
