Phoenix Contact E-Mobility was named the 2019 Innovator of the Year by Germany-based economy information portal and business platform Die Deutsche Wirtschaft (DDW).Â
The high-power charging (HPC) technology that Phoenix Contact E-Mobility developed for its quick-charging connector was decisive for the nomination. With HPC technology, electric vehicles can be charged for a range of 100 km in just three to five minutes. It is a key building block for the mobility of the future. The technology enables electric cars to be charged in the time it takes to visit the gas station today.
The heart of this crucial advanced development in charging technology is an environmentally friendly, low-maintenance liquid cooling system integrated into the charging connector and cable. It enables charging powers of up to 500 kW. The system’s cooling power is regulated based on demand via real-time temperature measurement that also safely prevents overheating.
