ADVANCES IN DC-DC FAST CHARGING
PRESENTATION PROVIDING INSIGHTS FROM A LEADING EV CHARGING SUPPLIER
OEMs are looking for charging infrastructure to take a battery from a 10% to 80% charge in 10-12 minutes, without increasing battery degradation. Fast and ultra-fast charging is known to be more detrimental to battery life, and it’s a challenge requiring significant levels of engineering effort to date.
Hear from a leading fast-charging provider, as they discuss:
- Key enablers for fast charging capabilities.
- Meeting fast and ultra-fast charging requirements whilst maintaining battery lifetime.
- Adjustments needed to ensure optimum performance in different climate conditions.
- Explore cooling requirements of batteries and cables for fast charging – is it really needed?
16:00 - 16:30
INDUSTRY PLANS FOR MORE CHARGING STATIONS
DISCUSSION ON FUTURE POLICIES & STANDARDS
DC-DC fast-charging columns allow for shorter charging times, but they are scarcely available. Whilst fast-charging technology is ready to be applied, the industry faces delays from policymakers to ensure the infrastructure is in place.
- Understand what plans are in place from an infrastructure point of view for charging stations.
- Insight into European standardisation of charging sockets.
- Learn how extreme temperatures impact fast-charge ability and how to manage this challenge.
