Enteligent is now offering pre-orders for its groundbreaking DC-to-DC electric vehicle (EV) fast charger, designed to be paired with solar energy systems, creating a unique solution to reduce emissions.
This innovative charger, known as the Enteligent TLCEV T1 EVSE, is being pitched as an advanced alternative to conventional Level 2 AC chargers. Unlike traditional charging systems that lose power during the DC-to-AC-to-DC conversion, Enteligent’s system eliminates this inefficiency. This enables a direct, high-efficiency DC fast charge at locations that previously could only offer lower-power Level 2 charging, the company claims.
What truly sets this system apart is its ability to connect seamlessly to solar power, making it possible to charge EVs without needing to tap into the electric grid. By using solar energy, the charger ensures that vehicles are powered entirely by renewable sources, significantly reducing their carbon footprint. Additionally, this setup simplifies installation by bypassing the need for grid connections, thereby reducing permitting issues and creating a smoother process for users.
Enteligent’s charger can support rapid charging speeds of up to 12.5 kW and is compatible with both the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) and CCS-1 connectors. Early adopters can reserve their system with a refundable $250 deposit, which will go toward an exclusive “early bird” rate of $2,249.
In addition to this new product, Enteligent also revealed that it has supplied a 25 kW DC-to-DC bidirectional charger to a major logistics company for charging electric delivery vehicles. The company has also secured $6 million in funding to further commercialize its innovative technology.
One of the most exciting features of Enteligent’s system is its bidirectional charging capability. This allows EVs to not only receive power but also send energy back to the grid or serve as an emergency power backup. Such capabilities are already available with vehicles like the Ford F-150 Lightning, which can power homes during outages, and General Motors is actively developing a similar energy solution for its upcoming electric vehicles.
This new charging system represents a leap forward in sustainable EV technology, offering an efficient, clean, and grid-independent solution for the next generation of electric vehicle owners.
