KRET Holding of Rostec State Corporation with the support of the Industrial Development Fund (VEB Group.Russia) will launch the first mass production of ultra-fast charging stations (UBZS) for public electric transport in Russia. The devices are characterized by increased speed of operation, their cost is 20% lower than imported analogues.
The new UBZS can be used to charge electric buses and electric vehicles. In terms of performance, they are more than ten times higher than their counterparts on the Russian market. The total budget of the project will exceed 295 million rubles.
It takes only 24 minutes to fully charge the electric bus battery using the new charging station. The project will also launch the production of two-post EZ systems capable of charging the batteries of two electric vehicles simultaneously.
The main consumers of the products will be urban transport companies and private owners of electric vehicles. Stations can be located on the territory of shopping and business centers, hotels, airports and train stations. Only for urban electric transport in Moscow today requires more than fifty additional UBZS. At the same time, about 400 new electric buses appear in the capital every year. For their maintenance, an average of 130 electric charging stations are needed.
The service life of KRET electric charging stations is 15 years. The housing of electric charging stations is made in the street anti-vandal design, equipped with forced ventilation and fire extinguishing systems, blocking from unauthorized access. Additionally, protection against pulse overvoltage, lightning protection, and insulation integrity monitoring are provided. Another advantage is the system of remote monitoring and management of the network of charging stations, which allows you to monitor devices in real time, collect and analyze statistics of their operation.
The implementation of the project will contribute to the solution of the tasks of the national project "Ecology" and the achievement of national development goals to create a comfortable and safe environment for life.
