The first units of BorgWarner’s new fast-charging station, Iperion-120, have been installed by the Italian service provider Route220 and are ready to support drivers of electric vehicles on their journeys in Italy. The direct current (DC) device offers benefits for users and operators alike through its fast-charging options, easy to use operations, compatibility, versatility and longevity.
The BorgWarner Iperion-120 DC-Fast Charging Station provides operators with a cost-effective and reliable solution and users with the benefits of high-speed charging.
“We are very pleased to see our fast-charging solution in operation,” said Davide Girelli, vice president and general manager, BorgWarner Morse Systems. “As a supplier for the automotive industry, we are not only delivering innovative technology for electric drivetrains, but also supporting the industry in enhancing the whole infrastructure for electric mobility, which includes charging. The DC fast-charger, Iperion-120, is equipped for various applications to meet the different demands of charging station operators, transport companies, service stations and other utilities.”
With the possibility of fully charging one car very quickly at 120 kW or charging two vehicles simultaneously at a maximum power of 60 kW each, the Iperion-120 offers superior efficiency, according to BorgWarner. Featuring an output voltage up to 900 volts, the solution is prepared for 800 volt BEVs and also for the power requirements of future generation batteries. Other benefits include a customizable and highly intuitive user interface, easy access, extra user safety as well as smart load management to optimize the charge when a second vehicle is also in need.
The solution is compatible with standard European charging protocols as well as different connection standards for all types of vehicles and plug configurations.
