Off-grid electric vehicle (EV) charger manufacturer L-Charge has joined CharIn, an international body which promotes interoperability based on the Combined Charging System (CCS) as the global standard.

L-Charge calls its solution a "mini-power station for fast charging of EVs", a mobile unit which can be called to charge via an app, as you would a taxi.

The charger truck can be booked to charge a vehicle at a prescheduled time, with super-fast charging from 0-80% in 10-15 minutes.

Its main feature is the ability to convert engines to work on clean fuels such as hydrogen and biofuel.

"It is very important now, when energy prices are soaring, to promote further transition to a carbon free transportation," says Dmitry Lashin, CEO of L-Charge.

"Converting charging stations to generate electricity on hydrogen will help to achieve zero CO2 emissions. That will make the generation of electricity for off-grid charging stations 100% environmentally friendly."

The first target market for L-Charge is the UK – the company’s network in London will be launched shortly. 

CharIn members include Delta Electronics, Schneider Electric, BP Chargemaster, Tesla and Chargepoint Holdings.
