ChargePoint Express Grid V2X solution from Eaton and ChargePoint
AI Article Summary
Eaton and ChargePoint have introduced the ChargePoint Express Grid, a V2X solution offering ultrafast EV charging up to 600 kW for passenger vehicles and megawatt charging for heavy-duty commercial applications. This system integrates Eaton’s 'Everything as a grid' approach, synchronizing renewables, energy storage, and vehicle batteries to local energy markets, potentially reducing fleet charging costs. Each Express configuration will be custom-engineered by Eaton, with the option for skid-mounted solutions.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how advanced V2X solutions can enhance the integration of renewable energy sources in the EV charging infrastructure. For Canadian builders, this means potential developments in site preparation and installation for EV charging stations, where integrating such advanced technology may increase upfront costs and timelines but could ultimately result in reduced operational costs. It highlights the growing trend towards sustainable infrastructure in the construction industry.
