US-based business EV producer Mullen Automotive has developed a brand new battery-powered model of its cell EV charging truck, based mostly on its Class 3 electrical cab chassis truck.
The earlier model of PowerUP introduced in July 2023 used a gasoline Class 5 cab chassis platform and a propane and pure gasoline energy era unit. In contrast to conventional fossil fuel-powered mills, the brand new model operates with minimal noise air pollution, making it appropriate to be used in noise-sensitive environments.
PowerUP is designed to supply on-demand cell DC quick charging in conditions equivalent to roadside help and emergency response the place speedy energy is required for recharging an EV or for emergency energy backup.
The cell charger is meant to be a scalable battery platform that may be configured to fulfill varied market wants, starting from 10 kW to 1 MW, and may use new or repurposed battery cells. It options two Stage 3 DC quick chargers, every with 60 kW of output. Extra options embrace 12 V jumper terminals, 20 kW-160 kW AC output, and (non-compulsory) photo voltaic/wind off-grid energy era and a bidirectional 480 V grid connection.
Mullen is creating PowerUP at its Excessive Power Facility in Fullerton, California, as a part of its plans to construct a complete EV ecosystem within the US. The corporate’s acquisition of battery pack manufacturing property from Romeo Energy helps to speed up the event of the battery-based PowerUP model.
“The suggestions on the preliminary PowerUP idea was overwhelmingly optimistic, however the market is clearly in search of a zero-emission resolution,” stated David Michery, CEO and Chairman of Mullen Automotive. “By leveraging our all-electric Mullen THREE, the brand new PowerUP delivers recharging at a better stage of scalability and efficiency whereas providing zero emissions for each the automobile and energy unit.”
