10kW Portable EV Charger for Roadside Assistance

Phihong has announced a new 10kW portable EV dc charger for roadside assistance and remote area charging applications. Mounted on four wheels for easy portability, the new 10kW EV DC chargers deliver 12V and 24V to power electric passenger cars and busses, and also function as energy storage systems, providing 3.5kW backup ac power.

Phihong’s new EV DC chargers feature user-friendly 10.4” LCD touch screens that display charging voltage, charging current, and the battery management system’s state of charge (BMS SOC); tactile start, stop, and emergency stop push-buttons; and intelligent RFID card readers for enhanced security. The 10kW chargers also feature input/output over-current, over-voltage, and under-voltage protections, in addition to short circuit and surge/lightning protections.

“Phihong is pleased to support international environmental protection and carbon reduction efforts through the development of convenient and efficient power products, like our new 10kW EV DC charger for roadside assistance and remote EV DC charging applications,” said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing for Phihong USA.

Equipped with 6.3kWh LiFePO4 battery packs and high frequency power modules that delivers 92%+ efficiency with a power factor of >0.90 at full load, the new 10kW EV DC chargers are rated for 220Vac ±10% input voltage, and are compliant with the 20234.1-2015 GB/T safety standard and 20234.3-2015 GB/T charging interface standard.

The announcement of these 10kW portable EV dc chargers follow’s last month’s introduction of a family of moveable EV dc off-board chargers that provide quick and highly efficient charging solutions for personal and commercial electric vehicles with 200- to 700-V battery systems. Featuring a convenient moveable design, Phihong's new EV dc charger family is currently comprised of 20kW, 40kW, and 60kW models, all of which are compliant with the latest GB/T standards for electric vehicle interface and conductive charging system requirements issued by the Chinese National Committee of the ISO and IEC. Implemented on January 1, 2016, these latest GB/T standards directly correspond to IEC 61851 requirements regarding electrical safety, charging function, and performance.
