IV. Our team members are the first batch of sales and engineers who is working in developing and selling global standard EV DC Charger which ensure we have plenty of experience implement global EV DC charger projects and have the foresight to lead EV charger products.
2. Is there any experience in implementing overseas charging station projects?
Yes, actually we are the pioneers in implementing overseas charger projects. Till now, we cooperate with UK power company to integrate EV charger with PV system, with US charging operator to install dozens of EV DC charger along the Freeway from LA to San Francisco, with GM automaker to provide DC fast charging service to their Bolt EV fleet and several charging projects.
3. What are the advantages of your products?
I. Telecom level product design and production.
II. Multiple charging standards support including CCS-1/2, CHAdeMO and GB/T, which means we can offer you all standards EV DC charger you want.
III. Quality comes first with wider input & output voltage range, lower voltage output range, better temperature adapted, higher protection grade, a longer technical foresight and most advanced modular design.
IV. Fast customer response, prefessional technical support and more solutions come out.
4. Can you explain the differences of global DC fast charging standards?
Till now, there are 5 kinds of DC fast charging standards: CCS-1, CCS-2. CHAdeMO, GB/T and Tesla.
CCS-1: DC fast charging standard for North America. Typical charging EVs: Chevy Bolt.
CCS-2: DC fast charging standard for Europe. Typical charging EVs: BMW i3, VW e-Golf, Porsche Mission-e.
CHAdeMO: DC fast charging standard for Japan. Typical charging EVs: Nissan Leaf.
GB/T: DC fast charging standard for China. Typical charging EVs: BYD, JAC, BAIC.
Tesla: DC fast charging standard for Tesla only. Typical charging EVs: Tesla Model S, Model X, Model 3.
5. Does the higher the charging station output power mean the faster the charging speed?
No, it doesn't. Due to the limited power of the car battery at this stage, when the output power of the DC charger reaches a certain upper limit, the larger power does not bring a faster charging speed.
However, the significance of high-power DC charger is that it can support dual connectors and simultaneously output high power to charge two electric vehicles at the same time, and in the future, when the electric vehicle battery is improved to support higher power charging, it is not necessary to invest money again to upgrade the charging station.
Our products are sold all over the world, you can rest assured.
