To populate Europe with electric cars, a significant deployment of chargers is needed to be able to refuel energy. Mission of the governments of the 27 member countries, the Germans from E.ON have announced the installation of 2000 new charging points throughout Europe by 2024, with the help of a specialized Austrian partner.
In 2035, electric cars they will constitute the majority of the mobile fleet of the 27 countries of the European continent. So only zero-emission models will be sold, but for this new form of mobility to become a reality, a infrastructure of electric chargers which, today, leaves much to be desired and requires significant investment by governments. But to this are also added the energy providers of other countries, such as those of EON.
The Germans have announced a major deal with an Austrian partner based in Tyrol, a specialist in the production of chargers for electric cars that will become a standard on all European roads. E.ON and Alpitronic plan the installation of 2,000 ultra-fast charging points throughout Europe that will be ready by the end of 2024. The chargers are presented in vertical structures with a very elegant design, and equipped with advanced technology to offer charging to all types of vehicles, from cars to vans and trucks.
E.ON electric chargers will be fast for cars and trucks
Those responsible for E.ON have chosen models, a high-power charger identified “HYC400” that has the necessary technology to offer charging powers of up to 400 kW and the “HYC50” wall charger, the first in the world to offer a 50kW power. The first is capable of offering a minimum power of 150 kW and a maximum of twice that, so depending on the car model and the on-board charger system, it can recharge energy for 10 kilometers in just five minutes.
Those of Alpitronic, leaders in the production of these chargers in Central Europe, point to one of the characteristics of their systems that make them stand out from the competition, and that they have tipped the balance on their side in the decision of E.On , and they offer an efficiency of 97% in the charging processso there are hardly any pressure losses.
The system of use will be “Plug & Charge” standard, promoting greater interaction between the vehicle and the charging point. A system that will be common in the middle of the next decade, so this alliance also involves research and promoting charging solutions for heavy commercial vehicles. An interesting challenge that aims to implement a megawatt load, with a pilot project that will start almost imminently. The objective is implement a fast charging infrastructure for trucks in different parts of Europe by 2024.
