Due to the increasing number of electric cars, new developments are also required on the infrastructure side in order to be able to recharge as much range as possible in as little time as possible. One achievable goal is a charging stop at which 500 km can be charged in 14 minutes. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop technologies for ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles.
The companies AVL Software and Functions GmbH and Prettl Elektrik Automotive GmbH developed together this ultra-fast charging system for electric vehicles at the Regensburg site. It is modular in design, incorporates established standards and charging powers and can charge up to 500kW. By comparison, Tesla Superchargers have so far reached 90kW, while the latest ones "only" reach 145kW charging power. In addition, this project includes a bidirectional connection to the smart grid. This will develop a multifunctional, comprehensive and thus future-proof charging concept.
The project was planned together with the Cluster Mobility & Logistics and was implemented until the end of 2020. It was funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy as part of the "Electromobility and Innovative Drive Technologies for Mobile Applications (BayEMA)" program.
