“TurboDX is loaded with advanced, user-friendly features to
ensure a hassle-free, smart-charging experience that meets the
unique requirements and needs of commercial, workplace, utility and
residential customers around the world,” said Ken Karklin, vice
president and general manager of AeroVironment’s Efficient Energy
Systems business segment. “TurboDX can be easily configured to
address the specific needs of employers, landlords, individual
homeowners and property managers who need a flexible solution for
maximizing the charging demands of their EV driving staff, tenants
and patrons.”
The TurboDX global EV charging station solution has been
certified by Underwriters Laboratory to North American UL Standards
for safety and reliability. European variants are certified to IEC
standards and bear the CE Mark, and the Chinese configurations have
met the rigorous, CQC certification. An OEM-branded version of the
TurboDX has commenced manufacturing in China and will ship to
customers starting in January. TurboDX, which builds on the
trusted, tested and robust technology of AeroVironment’s popular
TurboCord™ charging system, is an open networked solution that
gives customers the flexibility to choose from a variety of Open
Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) compliant network providers based on
their needs and demands. It further enables customers to change
their network provider easily, without the added cost of switching
or purchasing new hardware.
In addition, TurboDX accommodates a triple, dual or quad
installation that allows more cars to charge simultaneously.
TurboDX’s modular design also makes it easy to expand the number of
chargers as needed over time.
TurboDX offers the same Bluetooth-enabled access control
currently available on AeroVironment’s TurboDock™, allowing a site
owner to control access to charging stations through a
non-networked, mobile access control option.
Importantly, TurboDX is reliable, safe and robust. With its
durable cast aluminum enclosure and significant thermal margins, it
is designed to work under even the harshest conditions – all while
providing a safe and reliable charge that gives customers the
confidence to proceed with certainty. Its proprietary thermal
management algorithm allows a connected vehicle to charge during
high ambient temperature conditions while continuously monitoring
the charging session to ensure safe operation.
TurboDX launched in both 16- and 32-amp versions (240-volts)
with the option for 15-foot or 25-foot cords. Its slim, compact
design gives EV drivers the added convenience of mounting TurboDX
practically anywhere.
TurboDX has already started shipping for OEM, commercial,
workplace and utility customers. It will be available for purchase
online from Amazon, evsolutions.com and homedepot.com beginning in
the first calendar quarter at a manufacturers’ suggested retail
price (MSRP) of $469 for 16-amps.
AeroVironment is the official electric vehicle charging solution
partner of nine of the top global automakers. The company has been
supporting and developing EV technology and innovation for more
than 25 years.
