XCharge NA and Orlando Utilities Commission partner on EV charging research

The joint study will explore the enhancement of grid reliability with XCharge NA’s Net Zero Series charger, the deal adding to momentum for the charging company, which recently introduced the faster GridLink bidirectional battery-integrated charger that enables higher performance and greater grid stability and cost efficiency.
XCharge North America is partnering with the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) at its Gardenia Innovation & Operations Center’s Grid Integration Laboratory to install XCharge NA’s Net Zero Series (NZS) charger and explore how resilient charging solutions can enhance the electrical grid’s stability while reducing costs. Under a one-year research agreement with the option for extension, OUC will leverage the NZS unit to assess its battery-integrated system and charging capabilities while effectively navigating the rigors of a demanding operational environment.
With energy demands in the state surging alongside a rapidly increasing number of registered EVs (electric vehicles) and EV travelers, OUC recognizes the need for reliable EV charging solutions to support customers while minimizing the operational challenges for utilities. The technology and associated study are aimed at putting OUC at the forefront of solving challenges associated with EV charging that affect utility operations.
