EVSE news from the IEEE: ChargePoint’s EV Chargers Can Transform the Game
On their website last August, ChargePoint touted their Omni Port technology; it appears it will soon be available in North America.
The ChargePoint Omni Port Level 2 EVSE can charge one EV at 19.2 kW, two EVs at 9.6 kW, or three EVs at 6.4 kW (when connected to a dedicated 100-Amp, 240-Volt circuit).
Earning it's name, the Omni Port is compatible with a NACS plug or a JC 1772 connector with no adapter required. Bidirectional charging and V2X connections can let compatible EVs act as mobile generators during power outages or return power to the grid.
Smart-home features make for smoother connections with solar arrays, home batteries, or energy management systems. Split-wiring capability allows multiple chargers to daisy chain off a single 240-volt connection.
ChargePoint plans to offer the Omni Port in the U.S. by the end of the year, starting below $1,000 for a residential unit.
