EV Charging Station

Introduction

The GE EV Charging Station offers Level II charging capable of reducing charge
time from 12-18 hours to 4-8 hours with service needs of 208-240VAC at 40A,
assuming a 24kWh battery and a full-cycle charge. GE recognizes that this is an
industry that will develop and change over time and, as a result, the EV Charging
Station is designed to accommodate future changes and technological advances.
The EV Charging Station is “future proof” through a modular design, giving the
owner the ability to upgrade the unit with field installable modules without
replacing the charging station.

GE has over 40 years of experience in the manufacture of RV pedestals, which
provides knowledge and familiarity for the manufacture of EV charging stations.
In addition, a crucial component to the implementation of EV charging stations
is the upstream infrastructure needed for installation. GE has over 100 years
of experience in the manufacture of electrical distribution systems. As a result,
we are able to offer a complete EV infrastructure solution that includes the
EV Charging Station and the associated upstream infrastructure.

Product Details

The GE EV Charging Station has a list of features that are upgradeable, resulting in a robust and reliable solution
for the need of EV charging infrastructure.

• The cord holder serves to keep the cord organized and out of the way of parking spaces, sidewalks and streets
