Chinese EVSE manufacturer Shenzhen Kehua has launched a new line of DC fast chargers for the Southeast Asian (ASEAN) market. The new 60-180 kW and 240-400 kW standalone CE/CB-certified DC chargers are designed to suit a wide range of applications, including urban public charging, highway charging sites, electric truck and bus fleets, and other commercial use cases.
The new chargers are equipped with over 100 safety features, including over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, leakage protection, and lightning strike defense. Charging module in-position detection is designed to ensure proper installation, preventing risks such as arcing or sparking. An ingress protection rating of IP55 certifies that the units are dust-proof and waterproof, making them suitable for gritty industrial settings such as mines. The operational temperature range of -30° to 55° C enables them to function in extreme climates.
The operation and maintenance management system supports over-the-air upgrades and fault log recording, and also supports local storage of charging data.
The 400 kW model features dual cables, so it can charge two vehicles simultaneously, distributing power evenly between both charging outputs. It boasts 96.5% efficiency, and 500 amps of charging current—sufficient to charge the new generation of 800-volt EVs.
Both models include a cable management system and an intuitive smart screen interface, and both support various payment methods, including QR codes, RFID, credit cards and Autocharge.
Kehua’s in-house-designed charging modules are specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with the chargers. The company says it has rigorously tested the modules in various real-world applications. “We simulate various operational scenarios and subject the chargers to 2 hours of high-temperature aging tests to ensure they remain reliable under the most demanding environments.”
