The agreement brings charging equipment that is network enabled with Cummins Adapta™. These chargers are versatile; designed for public spaces, multifamily housing, and commercial fleets. They are rugged and compact, suitable for all weather conditions, available in single and three phase, and compatible with smart software solutions.
The agreement with Autel, a company focused on exploring the sustainable development of better people, vehicles, technology, and new energy, brings a broad range of level 2 EV chargers and level 3 EV chargers that now offer public point of sale systems while still meeting a wide variety of market segments and unique customer needs. The AC chargers range from 9.6 kW to 19.2 kW output power with flexible amperages capabilities. The DC chargers range from 40 kW to 640 kW output power and come in a variety of installation configurations, including mobile, compact, all-in-one, and hi-power distributed systems. Each charger included in the Autel agreement is designed to be an efficient, intelligent solution that customers will find easy to implement and use. The inclusion of these products greatly expands the range of solutions Cummins can offer to EV customers, aligning with Cummins vision to offer customers the right solutions at the right time for them.
The agreement with The Mobility House, an EV charging technology company focused on shaping the future of energy and mobility, brings a reseller agreement allowing Cummins to offer ChargePilot®, a smart charging and energy management system that charges electric vehicles in a reliable, easy, and affordable way, to market.
