Australian-based technology company 7335 Tritium’s Veefil-RT is a 50kW rapid charger for electric cars and the company claims it is 25 times faster than home charging, meaning a driver can add 50km range to an EV battery in 10 minutes or recharge 80% in around 30 minutes.


The liquid-cooled charger supports CHAdeMO and CCS/SAE-Combo standards and functions in temperatures of -35° C to +50° C (-31° F to +122°F) and can also withstand humidity and corrosive conditions. With its small footprint and durable plastic shell, the Veefil-RT is around half the weight of most other EV rapid chargers and can fit neatly at the end of a standard parking bay within the existing infrastructure.
