Charging solutions for every need – with a cable ...
MAHLE chargeBIG has developed a scalable and centralized charging infrastructure for companies, fleet and parking garage operators as well as municipalities with a charging capacity of up to 22 kilowatts (kW). The easy-to-install charging solution consists of the world’s smallest wallbox, the smallBOX, and the charge distributor chargeCLUSTER, which is available with either two (size S), six (M) or 36 (L) charging points. The charging distributors can be combined with each other as desired, so there are no limits to scalability. With this innovative system approach, the company can react flexibly to customer requests and optimize costs per charging point.
The offer is complemented by the smallBOX PORTABLE, which does not require installation and is therefore ideal for construction sites or as a charging park at events. The mobile charging solution only requires a 63-amp power line to connect to the bottom of the case and offers four charging points with up to 22 kW each.
… and without a cable
Another key technology MAHLE provides is for inductive charging, charging without cables. In this case a vehicle is precisely positioned above a base plate with induction technology to build-up an electromagnetic field. Whether a lowered sports car, mid-range station wagon or SUV with high ground clearance - thanks to the positioning system by MAHLE, this can be realized easily at electric vehicles of all kinds and works even in adverse weather conditions with snow or foliage on the plate. The American standards institute SAE International has declared this technology to be the global standard for wireless charging. This is a breakthrough for MAHLE, because if charging systems are interoperable and cross-vendor, they can be scaled up in large series and offered at attractive prices.
Cooling for optimal charging performance
For fast charging stations, such as those found at service stations and off-motorway service areas, MAHLE has developed an innovative cooling module that dissipates the waste heat of the cable and thus enables optimal fast charging performance. It consists of heat exchangers, pumps and fans and can be used without hesitation in ambient temperatures ranging from -35 to +50°C without sacrificing performance. MAHLE also uses a specially programmed control that adjusts the various components to the respective performance and efficiency requirements of the charging station.
Service for the battery throughout its life cycle
To support workshops in all aspects of e-mobility, MAHLE has developed the BatteryPRO product line. The devices help, for example, to maintain the cooling circuit or determine the state of health and the remaining performance capability of the traction battery of an electric vehicle. The battery diagnostic solution E-HEALTH Charge is particularly interesting for consumers who want to buy a used electric car. The state of health of the traction battery is a criterion that should not be neglected.
