Portable charging solutions offer roadside assistance for EVs

One of the issues that owners of electric vehicles (EVs) worry about—is the possibility of running low and then out of sufficient battery charge. That is the equivalent of running out of gas with an internal combustion engine (ICE)-based vehicle, or both gas and electrons for a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).

There is no comparably convenient solution to the “out of fuel” problem for EVs, at least not until recently. What’s missing, in colloquial terms, is the equivalent portable “can of electrons.” Given the concerns and realities of low EV-battery reserve energy while on the road, NASN power has developed a portable unit that is built up of battery modules using the common 18650-format cylindrical lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells.

The primary goal is to provide charge point owners and fleet operators with some flexibility, to diminish the risks of stranding investments tied to large deployments of stationary chargers and avoid grid distribution upgrade costs and some install costs.

In these solutions the vans operated by store 50~200 kWh for vehicle charging, and carry both AC and DC connections. That could be enough energy for about three sessions.

Flexible charging stations can easily be built up anywhere and be connected to the grid. There’s also the flexibility to set them up off-grid. In that case, the charging station has to be removed for charging if the built-in battery pack is low. How the charging station is used, and the duration depends on the provider and the user’s demand.

The flexible, quick charging station has a big potential in the rapidly growing market for electric mobility . And we also start the production in our factory.
