2024 promises to be a pivotal year for the electric vehicle (EV) market. With technological advancements and evolving consumer preferences, the landscape of electric mobility is poised for significant transformations. One particular aspect that is expected to redefine the industry is the integration of smart charging solutions, offering consumers the ability to schedule charges when electricity is at its cheapest. This innovation not only stands to revolutionise public perceptions of EVs but also holds the potential to alleviate strain on the power grid.

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure has expanded, with the US reporting one charging port for every 15 gas stations. However, there are still more barriers preventing the broader proliferation of EV adoption, a key factor being both the price of the vehicles and the added costs of maintaining them. #EV #ConsumerAdoption #Innovation

EV adoption shows no signs of slowing across the country, with an increase of more than 13,000 public EV chargers in the US in the past quarter. As the demand for EVs grows, the expansion of charging ports is crucial for supporting a widespread transition to electric mobility. Learn more about the current state and what the future looks like for EV charging in the US in the full article here: https://hubs.ly/Q02PgbHs0 . . . . #Qmerit #QmeritCertified #Electrification #EVCharging #ElectricVehicle

The importance of the charging infrastructure category in our recent Global E-Mobility Readiness Index (GEMRIX), is established by allocating one of the highest weightages. The availability and quality of charging infrastructure are critical variables in a country’s EV industry’s growth and success. Before purchasing an EV, consumers must have faith in the availability and dependability of charging infrastructure. Furthermore, developing a charging infrastructure network can boost customer trust and encourage EV adoption, increasing demand for EVs and moving the EV sector forward.

#EVCharging #USA #MercedesBenz #AlpitronicAmerica #HYC400 #IONNA "In addition to its own line of home chargers, Mercedes has developed and begun implementing a global EV charging network for the public, which currently consists of 100,000 piles in the US alone. In November 2024, the German automaker opened its first branded Charging Hub in North America near its US headquarters outside Atlanta. The station is part of a $1 billion joint venture to establish at least 400 Hubs that will become home to 2,500 DC fast chargers by 2030. The automaker is also part of the IONNA joint venture with six other OEMs to install at least 30,000 additional fast chargers across the continent. As part of the significant investment in chargers mentioned above, Mercedes-Benz is helping a European technology expand its US presence using 400 kW fast chargers built locally. ... Although it was founded in Europe, Alpitronic has recently expanded to North America, opening a US corporate headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, in November 2023. To further add to the new partner’s goal of creating new jobs and expanding EV charger infrastructure stateside, Mercedes shared the HYC 400 chargers it will be deploying will be built at a local facility in Wisconsin. Mike Doucleff, CEO of Alpitronic Americas, also spoke about the new partnership: Our partnership with Mercedes is a natural fit, as both our companies are synonymous with quality, reliability, and design. Mercedes sets the standard for luxury and performance, while Alpitronic provides top-tier, elegantly designed EV charging solutions. Following our successful partnership in Europe, we are excited to expand together into the American market, bringing a similar customer experience to the US. The first Alpitronic EV chargers are expected to reach Mercedes-Benz charging sites in Q3 2024."

"This morning, Mercedes-Benz announced a new agreement to make it the first DC fast-charging network to deploy Alpitronic America, Inc.’s HYC 400 at scale in the US." "To unlock this next era of charging, we must bridge the gap in quality and that starts with the customer’s experience at the charger. As we continue to scale Mercedes-Benz High-Power Charging, we are investing in both this critical infrastructure and the workforce behind its success. We’re proud to partner with Alpitronic who has not only designed a best-in-class product with some of the fastest charging speeds available, but is a company equally committed to investing in America’s clean energy workforce." -Andrew Cornelia, Mercedes President and CEO of high-power charging "Alpitronic's Hypercharge 400 piles offer up to 400kW charging and support for a wide output voltage range. They can also simultaneously charge two EVs at once at rates up to 200 kW. Alpitronic currently offers an array of charging port standards to EV owners, including CCS1 and CC2, but Mercedes states that the EV chargers it will roll out in the US will also offer NACS cables." #StopBurningStuff https://lnkd.in/dHTHFXjv
