The solution links up to the national grid through charging towers to help simplify and accelerate the electrification process of infrastructures for supplying electric cars, and reducing operating costs.
UFC works as a buffer between the electricity grid and the recharging tower and incorporates 160 kWh of installed batteries with advanced power controls. The solution can be connected to low voltage or medium voltage grids to supply 320 kW of power to a vehicle. The platform also allows simultaneous recharging of two vehicles or three in a row.
Additionally, Nidec ASI says that its recharging systems are designed to be supplied both from the electricity grid and from renewable sources such as solar energy and can be used to recharge the grid.
Italian industrial solutions company Nidec ASI has launched a charger which it claims can recharge electric vehicles up to 80% of their capacity in under 15 minutes. The company says that its Ultra Fast Charger (UFC) will provide drivers with 500km travel and minimise the impact on the electricity grid.
