The first three models of Ukrainian-made Supercharger-type charging stations, rated 60 kW and 75 kW for fast charging of electric vehicles, have passed testing and been handed over to the customer. They were designed and built by NPP "VEL".
The electric-vehicle market is growing ten times faster than the market for conventional cars. Germany, Norway and the Netherlands plan to phase out internal-combustion vehicles. In Japan the number of charging points recently overtook the number of filling stations. Ukraine is keeping pace with these trends. Charging infrastructure continues to expand so that EV owners can move freely not only around the city but also along highways and motorways without fear of stopping halfway. Supercharger-type stations charge an electric vehicle in 30–45 minutes. In modern EVs the charging rate is limited by how much current the battery pack can absorb without compromising its reliability.
The Supercharger receives from the vehicle the maximum current its batteries can absorb. Based on that data the charging station sets the required charging current automatically. The driver only has to connect the car to the station using a dedicated connector.
