Car charging stations are popping up rapidly – on roadsides, in homes and workplaces. This new infrastructure must be designed with user-friendliness in mind, and with a focus on safety, availability and long-term reliability.
As the future of electrification takes shape in real time, major changes are happening simultaneously on multiple levels. The rollout of EV charging networks, the proliferation of alternative energy sources, the expansion of home EV charging and energy storage capabilities, and a variety of emerging onboard battery systems are all converging in a rapidly evolving energy management landscape.
Both commercial and residential EV charging stations require wider deployment of higher current systems to enable faster battery charging. This shift brings new thermal management and efficiency design challenges while also emphasizing the importance of safety and reliability. EVs are still an emerging market, and the reputation of brands and technologies depends on safe and convenient access to charging stations. In addition, innovative product development must anticipate emerging regulations and international standards.
The industry’s high complexity requires trusted design experts with multidisciplinary perspectives, market insights, and extensive engineering and manufacturing knowledge. Dragon Well is working with automakers and product manufacturers to drive this future, ensuring that new electric features are safe, compliant, and commercially viable.
Enabling rapid charging for personal and commercial EVs:
800V DC Ultra-Fast Chargers: Dragon Well’s PowerPlane™ busbars support 350kW+ charging, reducing EV battery replenishment to 15–20 minutes.
