Eco Factor: High voltage charger for electric cars. Siemens Energy Sector in Denmark is working on the EDISON project that involves the development of new charging technology that will enable EV owners to recharge their green rides in as little as six minutes. The system works by raising charging power to as much as 300KW to replicate the familiar filling up at a gas station in about six minutes. The EDISON group, which includes the Technical University of Denmark and its and its

Risø-DTU research center, as well as Denmark’s Dong Energy and local electric utility Østkraft, the Eurisco R&D center, and IBM as well as Siemens, initially wants to develop a 43.5KW rapid charge capability for a 20 minute charge on a 400V 63Amp connection. Once successful, the consortium will try to develop the 300KW system that charges the batteries in six minutes. Via: Gas2
