Under the terms of the agreement, Ideanomics has exclusive rights for 5 years to distribute the chargeBIG 18-36 AC charging system under the Ideanomics Energy brand in North America. Ideanomics and MAHLE will optimize the system for North American commercial fleets including UL certification. The system already meets regulatory requirements for charging infrastructure under California law.
With around 1,500 chargeBIG charging points supplied to more than 20 customers in Europe, this is a proven solution. Thousands of electric passenger vehicles are powering up using chargeBIG charging points in residential and business parking garages, and a growing number of commercial fleet operators are choosing chargeBIG to power their light and medium-duty EV fleets. chargeBIG also maintains a large-scale demonstration site in China.
The chargeBIG 18-36 AC system’s centralized control unit is easy to install, and provides dynamic load management for up to 36 individual charging points with a charging power of either 7 kW, 11 kW or 19 kW. This allows for the most efficient charge across multiple EVs, and can charge twice as many vehicles compared to competing products.
