Tritium was selected as a supplier for this project early last year. The specially designed charging stations are each capable of delivering 350 kW of power that can add 150km driving range in five minutes.
“Increasing battery size and energy density means electric vehicles can travel further distances. But charging these larger batteries fast requires high-power charging infrastructure,” says Dr. David Finn, CEO and Founder at Tritium. “Our HPC solutions deliver up to 475kW of power, making them capable of charging EVs in a very short time. And 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.”
IONITY COO Marcus Groll emphasized the joint effort of the two companies that has resulted in “these two stations being among the very first of our planned network ensuring that EV drivers no longer need to fear what used to be called ‘range anxiety’.”
Tritium has been active in Europe since 2014. Its DC fast and high power chargers are installed in over 20 countries worldwide. Tritium is the leading supplier in Norway, Europe’s most advanced EV market. It recently reaffirmed its commitment to Europe with the opening of new offices in Amsterdam earlier this year.
