Epyon was invited by Nissan for the event to demonstrate the fast charging technology that is ready to be rolled out within the European market.
Epyon said that it designed a charging station with compact outlets and that a single fast charging station can operate several of these compact outlets so multiple EVs can be charged simultaneously from a single charging station.
The charging stations are remotely configured, managed and maintained through Epyon’s Power-Routing network. This web based network offers charging station operators the necessary information and tools to run their charging business.
Epyon’s charging stations support the international CHAdeMO-standard. Last month Epyon had joined the international association for the standardization of quick-charging protocols.
Epyon claims that its fast charger will recharge the Nissan Leaf up to 80% within 30 minutes whereas charging an EV via a regular 230V outlet takes about eight hours. The Nissan Leaf can drive up to 160km on a full charge (US LA4 mode) and will be launched in selected European markets starting in late 2010.
Johan Peeters, vice president of sales and marketing at Epyon, said: “We are very pleased with this opportunity and with the cooperation with Nissan. It underlines the trust Nissan has in our fast charging system and infrastructure solutions.”
