InCharge Energy launches suite of bidirectional charging solutions for EV fleets

InCharge Energy, a provider of turnkey eet electri cation services, has launched a new portfolio of bidirectional DC fast chargers. e new ICE-22 V2X, ICE-44 V2X and ICE-66 V2X chargers are aimed at eet operators, and are designed to optimize operations and increase cost e ciencies while supporting grid stability, and to enable eets to qualify for grant funds that include a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) compatibility requirement.

A er performing extensive interoperability testing at its Engineering and Ful llment Center, InCharge has veri ed that its solution enables eet managers to charge any bidirectional-capable EV at any ICE V2X charging station.

e suite of InCharge V2X chargers includes three options, with di erent power outputs: e bidirectional functionality of the InCharge V2X chargers is controlled by the V2X add-on of InControl, the charging management system from InCharge Energy. Using an OpenAPI architecture developed speci cally for large eets, the proprietary InControl platform allows eet managers to operate, monitor and maintain their EV charging infrastructure, and to integrate it into their existing so ware systems.

• ICE-22 V2X is intended for eets needing sequential charging, such as those with long dwell times without time-of-use tari s, and is useful for discharging multiple vehicles back-to-back.

• ICE-44 V2X is best for eets that need to maximize charging with simultaneous and sequential charging or discharging of two vehicles at a time.

• ICE-66 V2X is aimed at eets that have high daily utilization and may need to charge up quickly or feed energy back to a building or facility to shave utility costs.

Wattzilla introduces UL-listed J3068 3-phase EV chargers

EV charger manufacturer e Wattzilla Uno-3P, Duo-3P and Quadzilla-3P are designed for high-power charging of trucks, buses and other medium- and heavy-duty EVs. e Quadzilla Four Vehicle 3-Phase provides up to 63 amps per phase (approximately 44 kW) to four vehicles simultaneously. It can be wall- or pole-mounted, and comes standard with a pole mounting kit and a cable management system that holds all four couplers securely when not in use. It requires four 80-amp, 3-phase protected branch circuits, and is priced at $39,995. e WattZilla DUO Dual 3-Phase delivers up to 63 amps per phase (44 kW) to two vehicles at a time. It’s available in wall-mounted or exterior pole-mounted styles, and has an optional cable management system. It requires two 80-amp, 3-phase protected branch circuits. Pricing starts at $19,995. e WattZilla UNO 3-Phase cranks out 63 A per phase to a single vehicle. It’s available in wall-mounted or exterior pole-mounted styles, and has an optional cable management system. It requires a single 80-amp, 3-phase protected branch circuit. Prices start at $9,995.

Wattzilla has introduced a new family of UL-listed SAE J3068 3-phase Level 2 EV chargers. e new chargers are available in single, dual and quad con gurations, each capable of simultaneously delivering 44 kW of 400 VAC 3-phase power (63 A per phase) on each output cord.

Not all EV chargers on the market are UL-listed, but this certi cation is an important indicator that a product meets the highest safety standards.

All three models are suitable for interior or exterior use. Each features a type 4X 316 stainless steel enclosure for protection from the elements, a gold-plated proprietary circuit board for high corrosion resistance, a multi-color LCD display, and the requisite number of 25-foot cables with J3068 Mennekes couplers.

All are rated for temperatures from -35° C to 50° C, and come with a 39-month standard warranty. An extended warranty is also available.
