EV charger: Simultaneously charge dozens of EVs
-Hitachi’s advanced charge/discharge control technology-
-Hitachi will commercialize it in October 2023-
We will provide you with a summary of the articles published in EV-times.
Hitachi Industrial Products:
The “Multi-Port EV Charger” allows you to charge dozens of EVs simultaneously.
The company will commercialize a large-capacity “multiport EV charger” in October 2023.
Charging dozens of EVs simultaneously:
With normal charging, it is possible to connect and charge dozens of EVs at the same time.
It will become an indispensable device for “companies that recommend EVs for commuting vehicles.”
Advantages of “Multiport EV Charger”:
It enables “simultaneous rapid charging of multiple EVs.”
“You can freely change the number of devices that can be charged at the same time.”
“Additional construction work to strengthen the grid is not required,” and grid congestion can be alleviated.
The amount of connections to renewable energy power sources can be increased.
Highly efficient power conversion technology:
Maximize “the value of EV’s distributed energy resources”.
Hitachi is participating in the “CHAdeMO demonstration project.”
CHAdeMO3.0: Next generation charging standard:
We will carry out verification of “CHAdeMO3.0 (ChaoJi2)” with “Multiport EV Charger”.
Demonstration site opened to EV manufacturers around the world:
We have built Japan’s only next-generation EV charging standard demonstration base at our Omika Works (Hitachi City).
“It will be released for two years from October 2023” for EVs in Japan and overseas.
Initiatives to reduce CO2:
The equipment will be installed at Hitachi’s Tsuchiura Office parking lot.
Encourage employees to adopt EVs by “enabling EV charging during work.”
Demonstration site for commuter cars to open from April 2024
Main features of the equipment:
1.Extensibility
Output adjustment and simultaneous charging are possible within the maximum output of 500kW, such as 90kW x 5 ports, 25kW x 20 ports, etc.
2, large capacity
Two models are available with a maximum output of 250kW and 500kW. Compatible with high output charging (ultra-fast charging, large EV charging)
3, V2X
Used for power demand control using EV as a power resource.
The advantage is that the number of EVs that can be charged at the same time can be changed depending on the number of EVs in the business.
Significance of “simultaneous charging control with one device”:
Eliminate charging congestion:
This has made charging time more efficient and eliminated charging congestion.
Output adjustable:
You can charge and manage both large-capacity battery EV and small-capacity battery EV with one device.
