HITACHI INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS TO LAUNCH HIGH-CAPACITY MULTI-PORT EV CHARGER
The high-capacity multi-port EV charger will contribute to the expansion of charging infrastructure and growth of EVs towards the realization of a decarbonized society.
Hitachi Industrial Products, Ltd. announced that Hitachi Industrial Products will launch a large-capacity multi-port EV charger that enables fast charging of electric vehicles (EV) from October 2023.
Large capacity multi-port EV charger developed by Hitachi Industrial Products enables shortening the charging time and eliminates the charging congestion by increasing the number of vehicles to be charged simultaneously. Bidirectional charge/discharge control technology enables to elimination grid congestion without the need for grid reinforcement, and to stabilize voltage control required due to the large introduction of renewable energy. In addition, high-efficiency power conversion technology maximizes the value of EVs' potential as distributed energy resources. Hitachi Industrial Products will contribute to the expansion of charging infrastructure and growth of EVs in the market in order to realize a decarbonized society through this technology.
Demonstration of one of the use cases utilizing a "Large-Capacity Multi-port EV Charger"
Hitachi Industrial Products is participating in the demonstration project initiated by CHAdeMO Association to verify the Japan-China next-generation charging standard CHAdeMO 3.0 (ChaoJi2) and to promote the standard globally. This first demonstration site in Japan for the verification of next-generation EV charging standards is established at Omika Works (5-2-1, Omika-cho, Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture), and will be opened to domestic and overseas EV OEM (from October 2023 for 2 years).
As part of measures to reduce CO2 emissions from commuting vehicles, it is planned to install a large-capacity multi-port EV charger in the parking area at Tsuchiura Works (603 Kandatsu-machi, Tsuchiura-city, Ibaraki Prefecture) to encourage employees to use EVs for their commuting by allowing them to charge EVs during working hours (from April 2024).
Main Features
- Multi-port (scalability): Within the capacity of 500 kW, it is flexibly possible to arrange the output power from each dispenser such as 90 kW×5 port and 25 kW×20 port configuration with simultaneous charging.
- Large capacity: Two models are available with 250 kW and 500 kW, which enables to support the global requirement for high-power charging (ultra-fast charging, large-fleet EV charging).
- V2X (Energy Management): It supports V2X and is capable of power demand control for the facility utilizing EVs as an electric power resource.
