The collaboration will enable Eaton to provide a complete line of charging stations across residential, commercial and industrial applications in North America, the company said.
Richard Stinson, president of Power Distribution Operations – Americas, Eaton’s Electrical Sector, said: “Through this collaboration, Eaton will bring its leadership in sustainability, energy efficiency and power distribution to the electric vehicle supply equipment market in North America. We offer integrated hardware and a superior ability to design, build and support the infrastructure necessary to deliver this new technology to industry and consumers.”
Eaton is currently working to advance the electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Burlington, Ontario, and many other communities across North America. Eaton has a wide range of expertise in other markets that use free-standing electrical charging, including truck-stop electrification, ports, marinas, recreational vehicles, government, and major public-sector infrastructure.
