No costly grid expansion: ChargePost can be easily installed in harbors
ADS-TEC Energy (NASDAQ: ADSE), a global leader in battery-buffered, ultra-fast charging technology, has provided significant support for the low-emission electric sports boat project. ChargePost, a compact, all-in-one ultra-fast charging system with integrated power electronics, battery storage and large monitors, charges the boat in less than 30 minutes. And the fact that it does not require costly grid expansion makes it the ideal solution for harbors. The battery storage can be supplied via a 22-kVA connection, which is available in any harbor, no matter how small. This enables fast, convenient charging of fully electric boats.
The system enables ultra-fast charging at up to 300 kW with one charging point or 150 kW with two charging points used simultaneously. No civil engineering work is required for the installation, meaning ChargePost can even be installed directly on the dock. Despite its minimal footprint of less than 2 m² (17 square feet), the system offers optimal speed and charging power. ADS-TEC Energy has long been committed to expanding the fast-charging infrastructure in electromobility with high-performance, storage-based platform solutions with charging power of up to 320 kW. As part of the Frauscher × Porsche 850 Fantom Air project initiated by Porsche, the two companies are harnessing water as a new element in the expansion of e-mobility.
“We are proud to be able to support an innovative, premium German brand like Porsche, a company focused on performance and speed, in this pioneering project. It is a perfect match that is
eFantom could revolutionize the industry
The eFantom’s electric motor is based on technology used in the fully-electric Porsche Macan, with the power limited to a maximum of around 400 kW. All high-voltage components – in Porsche’s typical 800-V design – including the battery have also been adopted in the eFantom. According to Philip Ruckert, “eBoot” (electric boat) Project Manager at Porsche, “ADS-TEC Energy is known for innovative thinking and German craftsmanship. They were able to fully play to these strengths in the design of this project.”
The sports car manufacturer developed the eFantom in cooperation with
ADS-TEC Energy – Porsche’s trusted development partner
This is not the first time that the two companies have worked together to open up innovative new fields in electromobility. For instance, ADS-TEC Energy was commissioned by Porsche to develop the ChargeBox fast-charging system – a compact box with battery storage and charging electronics on a footprint of just 1.6 m² (17 square feet), which can charge at 320kW at one charging point and 160 kW simultaneously at two flexible charging points. The ChargeBox was unveiled at the launch of the Porsche Taycan in 2019. Over 1,000 ChargeBox charging points are now installed at Porsche dealerships around the world.
