LG Business Solutions USA is now taking orders for its first Level 3 DC Charger in the United States, the LG EVD175SK-PN. This fast charger has been certified to UL 2594, the UL Standard for electric vehicle supply equipment.
The assembly of the new Level 3 DC Charger began this fall at LG’s Fort Worth, Texas, EV charging production center. The charger features dynamic load management for multiple chargers, a high-resolution 24-in. LCD touchscreen display, and a liquid-cooled CCS/NACS charging cable, LG Business Solutions said. It is a stand-type model with a connected power bank that offers fast charging up to 175kW. The outdoor LCD touchscreen display can serve various functions for different owners and use cases.
“LG continues to invest in the global electrification movement, and the announcement of our first Level 3 DC charger demonstrates our ongoing commitment to provide our U.S. commercial customers with solutions that enable them to build out their EV vehicle charging infrastructure,” said LG business solutions senior vice president Michael Kosla.
According to Kosla, the availability of Level 3 DC chargers for LG commercial customers opens new business opportunities.
“Together, our Level 2 and Level 3 chargers are creating new opportunities for businesses, municipalities and other public places to support the electrification of America with independently owned and operated charging stations that create new revenue streams, additional marketing and income opportunities, and differentiation with competing businesses,” he said.
LG said its EV chargers are part of LG Electronics’ broad electrification strategy, which aims to help customers convert buildings to more sustainable energy usage. This strategy includes heat-pump-enabled HVAC systems, water heaters, dryers, energy storage systems, and Energy Star-certified smart appliances. LG’s ThinQ Energy platform allows customers to manage their home’s energy usage efficiently.
LG said this network offers buyers peace of mind when investing in privately owned charging infrastructure. LG’s Level 2 AC and Level 3 DC chargers also feature trusted LG software for integration with other LG infrastructure elements, including digital display networks.
