Problem
The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is outpacing the development of robust charging infrastructure, particularly in areas with limited grid capacity or reliance on off-grid power sources. Existing charging solutions often struggle to deliver fast charging in these locations, hindering EV adoption and usability.
Solution
Ampernext designs and manufactures a range of EV charging stations and DC microgrid tools optimized for locations with weak grid connections, DC power sources, or off-grid setups. Their DC-DC EV chargers are designed to couple with DC power sources, including batteries, solar panels, and DC microgrids, eliminating the need for AC to DC conversion. This approach enables fast charging in areas where it was previously difficult or impossible, while also balancing the grid and performing peak shaving. Ampernext offers both wallbox and mobile charging solutions with power outputs ranging from 30kW to 300kW, and up to 1000V, suitable for various electric vehicles, including e-cars, e-buses, and e-trucks.
Target Audience
Ampernext's primary customers include EV charging network operators, fleet managers, commercial property owners (parking lots, shopping centers, office buildings), and public sector entities seeking reliable and scalable EV charging solutions for diverse environments.
