As charging times continue to pose challenges for EV adoption, SINBON Electronics Co., an electronics system integrator, announced that its proprietary liquid cooling system has secured the world’s first UL safety certification for such systems used in electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
A globally recognized safety authority, UL rigorously scrutinizes products across design, materials, manufacturing, and performance. This certification also illustrates SINBON’s leadership in R&D and its commitment to setting new industry standards.
The certification marks a significant achievement for the company’s EV solutions, affirming the safety, reliability, and performance of its liquid cooling system.
Features
SINBON’s charging solutions are powered by its liquid cooling system that can deliver up to 1 MW (1000A at 1000V), enabling ultra-fast charging scenarios, including:
- Six-minute charge: At 1-MW power load, a 100 kWh battery can be charged in just six minutes
- Cross-standard support: SINBON works with all major charging standards, including NACS DC, CCS1, CCS2, and MCS
The company’s system is specifically engineered for versatility and durability:
- Innovative split design: Unlike traditional integrated designs, SINBON’s split design enhances flexibility and maintenance
- Extreme environmental resistance: Operates reliably in harsh conditions, including temperatures as low as -40° C — ideal for rugged EV deployments
- Rapid, even heat dissipation: Effectively removes heat from charging components, maintaining system integrity
- Rigorous testing: Extensively tested, particularly with SINBON’s own charging cables to ensure seamless performance and integration
- Support for multiple coolants: Compatible with water and oil-based coolants
The liquid cooling advantage
As EV adoption accelerates, the demand for faster, more efficient charging solutions is growing. Liquid cooling is emerging as a critical enabler of extreme fast charging (XFC), which significantly reduces charging times, making electrification more viable for consumers and commercial fleets.
A liquid cooling system addresses several key industry challenges:
- Reduces charging times: By enabling higher power delivery, the liquid cooling system significantly shortens EV charging durations, which is ideal for EV drivers and essential for commercial applications like electrified long-haul freight trucks.
- Enhances energy efficiency: The system minimizes heat buildup in cables, reducing energy loss and improving overall system performance.
- Uses lighter, more flexible cables: Liquid cooling enables the use of thinner, more manageable cables without compromising safety or performance.
- Greater thermal stability: This system also maintains optimal temperatures, ensuring consistent power delivery and safe operation.
