Tritium delivers high power charges for EVs to Germany

Tritium has delivered 12 high-power chargers (HPCs) to Germany to provide electric vehicles (EVs) with 350 kW of power and a 150km range in five minutes. These HPCs have been implemented at Tank & Rest stops at Brohltal Ost and West, either side of the A61 highway. The deployment is part of a project led by joint venture Ionity to establish a pan-European network of 400 HPC stations so drivers will be able to find a station within 120km.

Dr. David Finn, CEO and founder of Tritium, says: “Our goal is to bring charging times down even further, ideally to the same time as it would take to fill your tank with petrol.”
