EV charging on the go

 

 

 

 

Keep moving – fast charging for busy lives

EV drivers need a fast, convenient and effective way to charge along their route and continue their travels. Speed of charge is crucial. Just as when drivers pump gas at a gas station, electric vehicle drivers visiting EV charging stations have little time to spare, and they will need fast charging from high-power DC chargers.

Our EVCI solutions in development will help you transform your site into an energy hub that supports EV charger deployment, large or small. And because that is a gateway to electrifying the entire functionality of your site, it is also an investment in the energy transition.

Integrate a multifunctional system

The solutions we are developing will provide you with a multifunctional power management system that enables you to benefit from a vast variety of capabilities. Our approach is designed to offer a comprehensive solution integrating electric vehicle charging infrastructure and distributed energy resources (DERs) for site owners.

Our comprehensive EVCI solutions will allow you to:

  • Integrate electric vehicle charging efficiently into your existing infrastructure
  • Minimize grid upgrade investments with energy storage
  • Avoid expensive peak energy costs through peak shaving
  • Integrate self-generated renewable power  from solar panels to reduce costs

Set up short-stay charging you can grow

EV drivers who need to take on quick charge during short stops want easy-to-use chargers appropriate for their vehicles and suited to their needs. We can help you select the right EV infrastructure for your site.

Whether you want just a few EV chargers with scope to grow your installation to meet increasing demand, or a large deployment to meet the needs of a more complex site, the multifunctional power management offering we are developing will provide customers and site owners/managers with a variety of benefits.

Our approach will enable you to:
  • Leverage fast charging infrastructure for outdoor use
  • Manage your power capacity now and in the future when scaling up the infrastructure
  • Control your total cost of ownership (TCO) by keeping down installation costs and optimizing use of your solar panels
  • Control and operate your charging network efficiently to ensure availability whenever it is needed
  • Monitor the energy performance and costs of your site and securely control all your energy assets

Support your energy transition with energy storage

Our energy storage systems are key to accessing renewable, reliable, efficient and safe power management solutions that support your electrification needs—today and in the future.

Coming soon: Eaton Green Motion 50–150 kW DC fast charger

The new fast chargers combine electric vehicle charging hardware with Eaton digital power management capabilities and electrical infrastructure products and services.

The key questions are:

How do I balance the load across EVs?

As more EVs get connected, available capacity needs to be shared efficiently among users by balancing the available power capacity among charging stations. EV load balancing sets maximum allowable EV capacity, automatically smoothing total EV peak demand. We will help you efficiently balance the load across your charging stations to optimize costs.

How do I add more EV chargers as demand grows?

Our EV charging infrastructure is built in a way that makes it easy to add new EV chargers as needed. With the physical infrastructure in place, it is quick and easy to add new charging stations to the management system and manage future power capacity issues.

How do I ensure fair sharing of costs?

With the EV charging management system we're developing, you get a fair distribution of cost, which will ensure EV owners pay for their own electricity use and no one else's.
At Eaton, we stand ready to support America’s federal stimulus infrastructure initiatives and build a stronger future for our families and communities. The federal clean energy, stimulus and infrastructure initiatives will fund major improvements to the nation’s transportation and buildings infrastructure to include electric vehicle charging at home, at work and on the go.
