ChargeTronix presents newest product generation lineup
According to the American charging station manufacturer, the 1,280 KW Nexus Distributed Charging System is the fastest charger on the market and enables electric trucks in classes 6 to 8 to charge up to 80 per cent charge in as little as 30 minutes. Up to 16 outputs can be fitted on the charging station, which means that it can charge entire fleets over longer dwell times for multiple trucks during peak downtime periods or quickly charge an individual truck.
ChargeTronix’s newest third-generation 240 kW chargers feature a larger screen, improved energy efficiency, as well as “intelligent power distribution between multiple charging connectors, advanced safety features, and flood and smoke detection.” The charging company specifies that these can charge medium or light electric vehicles in as little as 20 minutes, or a heavy-duty vehicle in an hour.
“The transition to electrified fleets is inevitable, with more than 15,000 electric trucks added to the U.S. in 2024 alone. Ensuring that the infrastructure to support fleets during this transition and onward will be critical to addressing bottom lines and minimizing downtime,” said Xavier Landavazo, CEO of ChargeTronix. “Our latest product suites are paving the way for the deployment that meets the highest standards of performance, compliance, and reliability.”
For the next step, ChargeTronix plans to introduce its products to a wider audience at the 2025 ACT Expo in California, which will take place from April 28 to May 1. There, ChargeTronix will present its Nexus Distributed Charging System as well as its suite of 240 KW chargers.
The business around megawatt charging is increasingly heating up lately, with Milence recently installing its first MCS charging station in the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, or DAF Trucks and Total planning a truck charging network. Mahle is already producing MCS cooling modules for customers, and a project to explore V2G options using a megawatt charging system was launched at the end of last year. That is impressive, considering that the first successful test of a megawatt charging system only took place around 2022, which is, incidentally, also when ChargeTronix was founded.
