Enteligent Unveils World's First DC-to-DC Solar EV Charger

By eliminating the AC-to-DC conversion, Enteligent's EV chargers help users optimize every kilowatt of precious, clean energy, resulting in up to 25% energy savings. And direct charging DC by-passes the EV's internal conversion electronics, dramatically improving the time necessary to charge.

Enteligent Inc., developer of solar power optimization and electric vehicle (EV) solar charging technologies that delivers more of the clean solar energy you generate and dramatically reduces cost, is unveiling the world's first DC-to-DC solar hybrid bi-directional EV charger this week at Intersolar NA 2023 in Booth 2460. Powered directly from the sun, Enteligent's solar EV charger can supply 25 kW of fast DC charging - three times faster than AC Level 2 EV chargers - while also supporting vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) home energy resilience and providing significant energy savings.   

Currently, EV owners plug their cars into home chargers which are powered by an alternating current (AC) flow of energy generated from the electric grid. But EV batteries operate on a direct current (DC) requiring the power to be converted from AC-to-DC in the charging process. This conversion is inefficient and results in a significant amount of lost energy and a longer charging time. 

By eliminating the AC-to-DC conversion, Enteligent's EV chargers help users optimize every kilowatt of precious, clean energy, resulting in up to 25% energy savings. And direct charging DC by-passes the EV's internal conversion electronics, dramatically improving the time necessary to charge.
