Lincoln Electric Company is a leader in welding as well as the design and manufacture of electric power conversion systems, so why not a power charger for electric vehicles (EVs)?
The Velion DC fast charger for EVs is a Level 3 DC fast charger platform that provides fast charging speeds with what the company calls unparalleled reliability for ultimate performance and uptime.
Designed with industrial-grade components, the Velion leverages Lincoln Electric's more than a century of experience designing, testing, and building high-quality industrial equipment that has stood the test of time, including 50+ years of experience manufacturing rugged, reliable electric power conversion systems for a wide range of harsh outdoor operating environments.
"The Velion is designed to meet the stringent needs of Charge Point Operators who install, operate, and manage networks of charging stations as well as businesses with EV fleets requiring reliable, fast charging," said Steven Sumner, Vice President of Corporate Innovation with Lincoln Electric. "Our DCFC charger is also the first and only American-designed and American-made EV charger to not only meet, but exceed, the requirements of the federal government's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program (NEVI)."
