300kW Pantograph High Power Charging Station & Pure Electric Minibus
Overview
300kW Pantograph High Power Charging (HPC) Station supports international CCS OppCharge standard thereby fulfilling the busy turnaround cycles of commercial fleet operators. It only takes 8 minutes to charge the Pure Electric Minibus up to 80% battery level at the Pantograph HPC Station. The battery status of the minibus can be known in advance through Wi-Fi, so as to provide a suitable charging current. Pantograph HPC station also works for the 12-metre Hybrid Electric Coach developed by Automotive Platforms and Application Systems (APAS) R&D Centre, requiring 15 minutes to charge up to 80% battery and supporting prolonged and emergent operations in hybrid mode.
