LG Taking Orders for Level 3 DC Fast Chargers

­Further strengthening its commitment to meet the growing market need for fast, reliable EV vehicle charging solutions, LG Business Solutions USAhas begun taking orders for LG’s first Level 3 DC Charger in the United States. The new fast charger, model LG EVD175SK-PN, has been certified to UL 2594, the UL Standard for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment.

To be assembled starting this fall at the company’s Fort Worth, Texas EV charging production center, LG’s new stylishly designed Level 3 DC Charger features dynamic load management of multiple chargers, a high resolution 24-inch LCD touch-screen display, and liquid cooled CCS/NACS charging cable. The charger is a stand-type model with a connected Power Bank that provides fast charging up to 175kW. The outdoor LCD touch-screen display can serve multiple functions for various owners and use cases. 

“LG continues to invest in the global electrification movement, and the announcement of our first Level 3 DC charger demonstrates our ongoing commitment to provide our U.S. commercial customers with solutions that enable them to build out their EV vehicle charging infrastructure,” said LG Business Solutions Senior Vice President Michael Kosla.

For LG commercial customers, the availability of the Level 3 DC chargers opens the door to new business opportunities, according to Kosla. “Together, our Level 2 and Level 3 chargers are creating new opportunities for businesses, municipalities and other public places to support the electrification of America with independently owned and operated charging stations that create new revenue streams, additional marketing and income opportunities, and differentiation with competing businesses.”

To further aid in energy and cost savings, LG’s ThinQ Energy platform allows customers to take control of their home’s energy usage at their fingertips.
