Lincoln Electric is introducing the Velion DC Fast Charger for electric vehicles (EVs). This Level 3 DC platform delivers reliable fast charging speeds for the ultimate performance and uptime.
“The Velion is designed to meet the stringent needs of Charge Point Operators (CPOs) who install, operate, and manage networks of charging stations, as well as businesses with EV fleets requiring reliable, fast charging,” said Steven Sumner, VP of Corporate Innovation at Lincoln Electric.
The inaugural 150kW Velion DC fast charger exceeds 75% domestic content and is engineered to exceed 97% uptime with an output of up to 1000V/150A and 500V/300A, and with a charging efficiency of 95%.
It operates within the temperature range of -31° to 122° F (-35° to 50° C), delivering reliable performance in a range of operating conditions. The Velion is backed by Lincoln Electric’s multi-point service network across the United States.
“Our DCFC charger is also the first and only American-designed and American-made EV charger to not only meet, but exceed, the requirements of the federal government’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI),” adds Sumner.
Lincoln Electric will be manufacturing tens of thousands of inverter systems per year with complete customization of pedestal design. The company offers a service network of factory trained repair technicians at locations across the US, with a scalable production capacity able to meet the needs of the expanding EV market.
The company offers more than a century of experience in designing, testing, and building high-quality industrial equipment, and has been manufacturing electric power conversion systems for a wide range of outdoor operating environments for over 50 years.
