Dover Fueling Solutions (“DFS”), a part of Dover and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industries, announced the launch of the Wayne PWR™ DC fast charger (Wayne PWR). This new electric vehicle charger (EVC) addresses critical market gaps in reliability and durability while offering an unmatched customer experience.
Designed and manufactured in Austin, TX, for the U.S. market, Wayne PWR is National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) compliant and built to the highest standard of quality. The EVC is backed by DFS’s nationwide Wayne® approved partner service network, offering remote diagnostics, proactive monitoring and check-ups to help ensure maximum uptime and quick maintenance.
“One of the biggest challenges in the EV charging industry is reliability,” said Chad Bass, Director of Product Management for EV Charging at DFS. “We designed, developed, and will manufacture Wayne PWR right here in Austin, as we believe this direct control over production will help ensure that our EVC meets the highest standards of reliability.”
Engineered with the same standards that have defined DFS’s products for over 130 years, Wayne PWR features superior weather protection, vandal-proofing, UV and scratch resistance, and temperature reliability. These features help ensure that Wayne PWR remains operational in even the most extreme conditions.
