Wallbox Chargers, a provider of electric vehicle charging and energy management solutions, has introduced the next generation of its Supernova DC fast charger, Supernova 220. The newest addition to the product family is designed to charge at up to 220 kW, meaning that it can fully charge a passenger EV up to 100 miles in as little as eight minutes.
To date, the company has sold over 2,000 of its DC fast chargers in over 30 countries. The Supernova 220 gives charge point operators (CPOs) a broader range of power options within the Supernova family, to further expand their EV charging network. This new product ensures CPOs can install the most appropriate power model for every site, without needing to compromise on reliability or customer experience.
Thanks to Supernova’s compact design, the 220-kW version offers efficiency benefits to both CPOs and customers. While the same size as other Supernova models, it is the most powerful model yet and can charge one EV at up to 220 kW, or two EVs simultaneously at up to 110 kW each. Increasing the power while maintaining the cost of installation, maintenance and space improves the return on investment for CPOs, especially in high-volume locations.
“At Wallbox our aim is to ensure that EV charging is simple and accessible to all drivers, which means offering reliable solutions that meet the needs of a range of locations,” says Till Wilmschen, director of DC fast charging at Wallbox. “Supernova 220 fills the current need for high-power charging sites, capable of providing 10- to 15-minute charging times for passenger EVs, as well as serving the high-power charging demands at private and public sites for fleets, electric trucks, buses and heavy goods vehicles.”
Advantages of the Supernova 220 include:
- High power, even smaller footprint ratio. Supernova 220 serves both low- and high-voltage EVs delivering up to 220 kW of power. It also optimizes space thanks to its high-power density.
- DC meter law compliant. Due to its metering windows that are prominently displayed below the touchscreen and DC metering options, Supernova 220 is fully compliant with the latest AFIR regulations without the need for any accessories.
- Award-winning design. Its sleek but distinctive design that allows for custom branding is perfect for public and visible locations such as car parks, shopping centers and dealerships.
