At the 36th Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exposition (EVS36) held last month, SK Signet introduced a 400kW V2 charger that was first unveiled at CES 2023.
The V2 charger has already received a great response from the market by charging a Kia EV6 vehicle equipped with an 800V battery up to 80% within just 14 minutes and 44 seconds at a charging demonstration event held at a plant completion ceremony in Texas.
The V2 can charge two vehicles simultaneously with one charger (dispenser), and can output up to 400kW from a single port. It is the first 400kW ultra-quick charger produced in the United States, and with its ability to charge up to 80% in 15 minutes, it is the fastest electric vehicle charging product.
In addition, the V2 chargers are produced at a factory in the United States using American steel, making it one of the few products that can benefit from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI). Since last month, SK Signet’s Texas plant started mass-production in earnest.
SK Signet also exhibited a prototype model of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) that supplies power in megawatts (MW), for the first time at an international exhibition. The megawatt charger supplies more than 1000 kW of power, making it suitable for charging heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks and buses equipped with large-capacity batteries.
A spokesperson for SK Signet explained, “As the number of electric vehicle users increases, the level of customer demand for the charging experience will increase. In order to advance the era of electric vehicles, shortening the charging time is essential. So we are determined to advance the actual electric vehicle era through the further development of ultra-fast charging technology.”
