"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.
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.
Operators can rely on the solution being compatible with
standard European charging protocols as well as different
connection standards for all types of vehicles and plug
configurations. Most importantly, the Iperion-120 boasts an above
average lifetime of more than 10 years and can be deployed in
diverse surroundings, even under harsh conditions including
temperatures between -30° C and 50° C and up to 4,000 meters
altitude. In addition to the efficiency, flexibility and easy
maintenance, this charger contributes to significantly lower costs
of ownership for the operators.
