Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. is launching an initiative to design and manufacture DC fast charge electric vehicle (EV) chargers for the U.S. EV market. The company says it has developed a 50kW DC fast charger power module with a scalable architecture to deliver power levels over 300kW, as well as a single charge port pedestal compatible with CCS-1 vehicles.

A production model is planned for 2023 and leverages core manufacturing and engineering capabilities in the company’s Cleveland, Ohio, facility. The company says it seeks to leverage new partnerships to commercialize its designs to capitalize on accelerating investments in EV infrastructure.
