DORTMUND, Germany, Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Compleo Charging Solutions, one of Europe’s leading full-service providers of electric vehicle charging technology, announces the market launch of its High Power Charger (HPC) eTower 200. Developed and manufactured in Germany, this high-performance charger offers maximum power, highest efficiency and a compact design. The eTower is equipped with numerous innovative features, such as modular power distribution, the iconic lighting concept and the “single point of service” approach, which significantly simplify installation, operation and use. At its core are self-developed silicon carbide electronic load modules, which enable compliance with new regulatory and other market-specific requirements, including the implementation of network support functions.
The eTower 200’s modular technology enables high-speed charging with a maximum power of 200 kW and an efficiency of over 96%. Thanks to a state-of-the-art power distribution system based on seven independent power modules, developed entirely by Compleo in Germany, the eTower can distribute power dynamically and intelligently. Charging technology continuously adapts to the specific charging situation, maximizing performance. Each power module supplies up to 920 volts and 72 amps, allowing drivers to charge their electric vehicles in the shortest time possible and continue their journey. All power semiconductors used in the modules are manufactured using the latest silicon carbide (SiC) technology. By completely turning off the power modules in standby mode, standby power consumption can be minimized.
With the eTower 200, Compleo sets new standards for efficient space utilization and offers exceptional flexibility in terms of installation location. Installers and service technicians can easily and quickly access the device during maintenance or inspections, thanks to the “single point of service” concept, which provides the smallest service area in the 200 kW HPC charger class. All components of the charging system are accessible through a single service door that faces the occupied parking space. Additionally, the eTower 200 can be placed directly in front of walls, allowing for even more efficient use of space. This opens up a wider range of location possibilities and maximizes installation flexibility. Thanks to its low height – also the lowest in its class – the eTower can be installed even in places with limited ceiling heights, such as parking lots or under roofs. This makes the device the ideal choice for difficult locations where space and height are equally important. In addition, the innovative Wire Hub makes the installation process considerably easier. Holds all necessary supply lines securely, reduces the amount of installation work and therefore reduces installation costs.
The eTower 200 is exactly tailored to the requirements of charging point operators (CPOs). They benefit from optimal profitability and efficient operation. High-tech charging technology flexibly adapts to the individual energy needs of each electric vehicle to ensure optimal and efficient charging. Using compact 29 kW modules, the charging station automatically distributes the available power so that both vehicles can constantly maximize their full energy potential. For operators, this means an increase in energy sales of up to 35 MWh per year, which can translate into additional income of several thousand euros.* In the event of a service call, a high level of redundancy ensures smooth operation. uninterrupted. Even if one power module goes into service mode, the performance of all other modules is not affected and continues to supply power. Additionally, replacing, upgrading or maintaining modules does not require cranes or heavy equipment.
During the rapid expansion of the DC fast charging structure, networks are under increasing pressure and network operators are facing challenges. The objective is to guarantee the stability of the network. The Active Frontend integrated into the module can supply the grid not only with active power, but also with reactive power if necessary, stabilizing the grid voltage. Advanced control and filtering stages also help reduce harmonics and emissions.
However, not only installers and CPOs, but also users benefit from the extraordinary features of the eTower 200. Charging is as simple as conventional refueling. The LED status of charge display offers optimal visibility, allowing EV drivers to check the status of charge (SOC) of the connected vehicle from a distance. This helps to select a suitable charging point, especially if all the others are already occupied. A durable, bright all-weather display ensures reliable viewing regardless of weather conditions. Four robust, weather-resistant buttons allow for easy operation and barrier-free access. Additionally, the eTower 200 offers the quietest operation in its class, allowing it to be used in residential areas without causing disturbing noise.
* Assumption: 8 charges/day at 0.50 euros/kWh. Reference vehicles: Tesla Model 3 LR with 15% initial SOC and Audi e-tron 55 with 20% initial SOC.
