Known primarily for making some of the most capable charging bricks and power banks for your phone, tablet, and laptop, Baseus plans on being able to go big or go home with its upcoming chargers… literally! At IFA 2023, the company is slated to reveal their latest Nebula Series Green GaN EV Charger alongside other products.
The charger builds on Baseus’ GaN semiconductor innovations that allow for enhanced heat dissipation, maximum efficiency, and power delivery in a compact form factor. Although details on the performance of the Nebula Series Green GaN EV Charger are still surfacing, Baseus touts reduced standby power consumption, all-weather charging (with an IP55 rating), and 11-layer self-check protections.
The charger is accompanied by the Baseus app, which aside from providing charging stats, also allows you to enable remote charging either via Bluetooth (if you’re in the vicinity) or over 5G if you’ve plugged the charger in and want to start a charge cycle remotely. The app will even allow you to schedule charging sessions.
Details of the Nebula Green GaN EV Charger are scarce at the moment, but Baseus plans sharing availability, pricing, and other specs soon.
Electric cars are pretty much the future of automobiles. Or they should be if we want to keep our planet alive for a very long time. But while these green cars have almost caught up to their gasoline-chugging ancestors in speed and range, the infrastructures that support EVs aren’t completely there yet. Charging on the road is still a problem, and there are issues even with charging at home. Being able to charge your car during the night while it’s parked in your garage should be an advantage that regular cars would never be able to enjoy, but it isn’t all sunshine and roses because of a multitude of factors. That’s where Autel’s new HomeCharger comes in, making EV charging so easy you’d wish your phone or laptop charged that way, too.
Since its founding in 2004, Autel has immersed itself in the automotive industry. It provided services and products that revolved around intelligent diagnostic, inspection, and analysis, creating an ecosystem that seamlessly integrates device, cloud, big data, and artificial intelligence. Over time, its reach grew to over 70 countries and regions, including the US, the UK, Germany, and Australia, just to name a few.
Last year, it embarked on a new journey of discovery and research, exploring the growing market for electric vehicle charging solutions. In line with its mission of exploring intelligent driving and new energy, it is using its expertise and resources to develop smart charging solutions to promote the faster adoption of EVs. The Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox makes the next step in that mission, bringing the convenience of EV charging to your home garage.
The AC Wallbox is a 240V-40A level 2 charger that promises to juice up your electric car seven times faster than common level 1 home chargers. For just 60 minutes of charging, you can get a range of 30 miles for your car. That means you can simply hook it up when you get home and wake up to a fully charged EV waiting for you.
EV owners might have some misgivings about having a charger at home because of safety concerns. The MaxiCharger is specifically designed to allay those fears, making it safe to use both indoors and outdoors. IP65 rating makes it resistant to the harshest rains, and it can operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 55°C (-40°F to 131°F), so snow and summer heat are no problems either. The AC Wallbox also has excellent heat dissipation, removing worries of overheating and fire risks to your home.
While these qualities make the Autel MaxiCharger safe and reliable, its smart features make it convenient and painless to use. Like almost any smart home appliance these days, you can monitor and control all of the Wallbox’s functions from the comfort of your smartphone, whether manually or automatically. What makes the Autel app even more impressive, however, are the insights it can provide to make your charging even smarter. You can check the power consumption and even the electricity cost so that you can make better decisions when to charge your EV to save as much money as possible. The MaxiCharge also boasts Adaptive Load Management (ALM), so you don’t have to worry about overcurrent trips and allowing it to schedule charging times depending on electricity prices and power grid utilization.
Many car makers like to flaunt visions of the future of travel, which often involve not just electric vehicles but self-driving ones as well. These “drives” of fantasy don’t always show the hassles of charging these vehicles, especially at home, where conditions are very different from public charging piles. That could be a major deterrent to the adoption of EVs, but the Autel MaxiCharger AC Wallbox offers convenience, reliability, and efficiency to make those worries go away. And as more people switch to greener cars, companies like Autel will lead the search for smarter, more power-efficient charging solutions to truly make green energy power the future.
A compact and practical electric vehicle charger designed keeping in mind the future of EVs and the preferences of demanding customers. This is the compact Éclair EV charger which goes perfectly with the styling of future electric vehicle designs and the current ones like Tesla Model 3 too.
It’s estimated that by 2030 all-electric vehicles will account for 52 percent of total worldwide sales. This will consequently see a sharp rise in the demand for electric vehicle charging stations. The more compact EV charging rigs, the better it is for the future. Last year we saw the Genesis EV Home Charger bring a new vision to the user-centric EV charging needs, and now another concept EV charging solution gives us a good idea of what’s heading our way in the coming years.
Most of the electric vehicles that we see in production and on roads adapt sharp geometric aesthetics to reflect the futuristic appeal. The Éclair electric vehicle charger is inspired by that very geometric design aesthetic. This compact electric vehicle charger has a dedicated RFID card payment slot for easy and quick charging at designated stations. Once the halo light turns blue from red, the EV is ready to receive the charge. The wall-mounted EV charging station is designed keeping in mind ease of use, and storing the cable in the gap between the circle face and rectangle body is a clear example.
The charging gun having both B-type and C-type charging ports, slots in the middle of the circle. Those who want to charge their vehicle with their own charging cables can screw it up to the empty socket at the bottom. Keeping in mind the commercial use, the designers have made the charger’s exposed body from black sanding plastic material to avoid any scratches. For aesthetic appeal, the other sections are covered with metallic silver spray.
Designed after a thorough understanding of the market and the user requirements, this charger is classy in aesthetics and durable in approach as the Genesis itself, from where it picks its design cues. Incorporating the visual and emotional luxury of Hyundai’s premium brand Genesis, the charger is a result of people’s interaction with the traditional chargers and the entire experience of fueling their vehicles.
Home chargers for electric vehicles are becoming a common sight as more and more customers are treading the EV route. The need for compact and user-centric EV chargers is felt more than ever before and in that case, an option designed for the Hyundai’s premium Genesis begs for attention.
The common hindrance with the present-day EV chargers is the amount of space they occupy in the parking; their stiff and tangling cords; and most importantly the height of these chargers which is not adjustable. Addressing these drawbacks in the design and complementing the top-notch material, styling and pleasant driving dynamics of the Genesis – Citrus Design has fashioned the Genesis EV Home Charger.
Staying true to the design elements of the Genesis, which is currently in a transition phase to going purely electric by 2025, the Genesis EV Home Charger first improvises on the long cables of the chargers with the introduction of a reel attached to the main unit for cable management. With its swift pull, the extended part of the cable – pulled out for charging – rolls back in place smoothly, without posing any danger to the people nearby.
The Genesis EV Home Charger is not decorative in appearance; it’s more practically designed to be more weather resistant to withstand the elements and day-to-day wear and tear. The circular charger comes built-in with a digital display to show the information regarding charging status and other vital details. To wrap up its uniqueness, this Citrus-designed EV charger features a height-adjustable form factor for the convenience of all users and locations. The wall-mounted charger comes with RFID tag reader for instant recognition and as iterated, offers a Genesis-like luxury experience and convenience at the time of charging as well!
The global electric vehicle market is expected to grow up to about 34,756 thousand units by the end of the decade. However, the popularity of electric cars is not matched by the infrastructure so the required charging stations aren’t as widespread to instigate a larger fan base to adapt the new form of eco-friendly transportation. The increasing government involvement globally is however working as an incentive for OEMs that are creating opportunities and devising ways to expand EV charging options so they can jump onto the revenue scheme.
Alongside them are the designers that fathom the possibility of making the concept of EV charging portable, so individuals can ride without worrying about where and how to charge their vehicles. Portable EV chargers have caught pace in the last few years, and the A-monite, a concept for a portable electric vehicle fast charger is one fine example of how the intention is altering and is revolutionizing the way people think of electric vehicle ownership. A portable charger like the A-monite removes the question of where, when, and how out of actually charging the electric vehicle. It taps into the lack of charging infrastructure so that a vehicle does not have to towed to a charging station – if it’s stranded on the highway. Instead, it can be powered up, right there and then with a portable charger in the boot of the car. It is an interesting alternative to the fixed stands installed in the parking lots, buildings, and in outdoors.
A-monite can be used for public or personal use and is more efficient than other portable EV charging battery solutions in that it has the charger and cable built-in, and that it comes with its own adjustable handle as opposed to batteries that have to be carried on cart systems. The conceptual charging solution does propose fast charge but it doesn’t reveal the output; however, it takes into account the wire management issue and lets one measure electricity usage through an RFID card.
Inspired by the shape of an ammonite and the functionality of a cable reel, this portable electric vehicle fast charger is delivered in the roundish form factor with the cable coiled up within the body. When you want to charge, just pull out the cable from the A-monite, fasten it to a power socket and you’re good to juice up your vehicle anywhere, anytime. And when you’re done, simply lift up the built-in handle and roll off the charger back to storage. It can be used in a public space, on-call during emergencies, or can be carried in the boot no matter where the road takes you. The possibilities with the A-monite are endless!
