“After an extended beta testing period and successful installations with a few of our trusted partners, we’re excited to share our newest hardware product with the fleet community,” said Cliff Fietzek, CTO of InCharge Energy. “We’re working to solve many of the technology challenges experienced by commercial electric vehicle fleets and our new ICE-180 with power sharing offers solutions to those roadblocks identified in our fleet infrastructure programs.”

The ICE-180 is a 180kW DC fast charger that features an efficient scalable architecture, allowing for a scalable output of 60, 120 or 180 kW of power depending on the customer’s specific needs in the same footprint. Other key benefits include:

  • Compatibility with vehicles supporting CCS and CHAdeMO charging standards
  • Power sharing between both charging ports
  • Intuitive tempered glass touchscreen with LCD display that’s durable and easy to read in sunlight
  • LCD display showcases important information such as charging status, help menus and more
  • Five charging modes for added efficiency: Auto, Time, Quantity, Energy and SOC
  • User-friendly access management with PIN and RFID inputs
  • Interoperability across backend platforms via open charge point protocol (OCPP)
  • Optimized all-in-one footprint
  • Safety certified

For InCharge customers who utilize the fleet-focused In-Control OCPP software platform, the ICE-180 easily connects with In-Control to automate the process of collecting EV charging data. In-Control can manage and help streamline the charging infrastructure of an entire fleet, reducing operational costs and total cost of ownership (TCO) in the process, as well as reporting Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits where available.

The ICE-180 is the second offering in the expanding InCharge hardware portfolio, which includes the innovative ICE-30 DC Wallbox. Launched in Q4 of 2021, the wallbox is the first DC fast charger of its kind with vehicle-to-grid, vehicle-to-building and vehicle-to-x capabilities, also known as bi-directional charging. The bi-directional charging capability will allow a vehicle to provide energy from its battery pack to a building, onsite storage devices or the utility grid in certain markets. The ICE-30 is powerful, efficient and compatible with CCS and CHAdeMO connectors.
