Specialists of the Chelyabinsk NPO Elektromashina (part of the Uralvagonzavod concern of the Rostec state corporation) have developed a quick-charging station for electric vehicles. This was announced on February 16 by the director for strategic and innovative development of the enterprise Leonid Zelepukhin.
“We have developed a powerful quick-charging station for electric vehicles, which has no analogues in Russia. The station is equipped with an intelligent system that provides video analytics, environmental monitoring and the possibility of distributing free Wi-Fi. Additionally, charging stations can be equipped with an energy storage system in case of insufficient power at the connection point. A station with a capacity of 150 kW allows you to charge an electric car by 80% in 20 minutes, ”TASS quotes him.
