Company from Paraná Developed a Charger for Electric Cars, Capable of Filling Up 2.5 Times Faster Using Solar Energy
The company from Paraná, Ribeiro Solar, is expanding its investment in the electric car charger sector, which is still in its infancy in Brazil. This week, the company presents its new product known as single-phase inverters for vehicles, which operates on solar energy, at Intersolar, a specialized fair in São Paulo. Manufactured by Solar Edge from Israel, the equipment helps consumers of electric cars charge their models quickly and efficiently using solar energy.

According to the Israeli company, the inverter for electric cars charges up to 2.5 times faster than a standard conventional charger. This is due to the technology used, which allows the device to act as both charger and inverter, while regular devices require two steps to perform the task.
According to the company from Paraná, which has not yet announced the expected sales figures for the solar energy charger, the inverter also enables access to a monitoring system that allows the owner of the electric car to track the charging performance of up to ten vehicles, with fault detection and performance details.

Technologies Involving Fast Charging for Electric Vehicles Advance Worldwide
In addition to the company from Paraná with its solar energy charger for electric cars, ABB, a Swiss startup, announced the Terra 360 charger, which promises to be the fastest charger in the world.
The charger claims to fully charge electric car batteries in just 15 minutes. The company believes that the first models of ultra-fast charging will begin to be implemented in Europe by the end of this year.
Other places like the USA, Asia, and Latin America are expected to receive the charger only next year. The company states that customers could have a range of 100 km with just 3 minutes of charging.
Refueling Without the Need for Humans
The Volkswagen Group created a robotic attendant for electric cars that can recharge a vehicle without requiring human action. The prototype developed by the company aims to demonstrate how it will expand charging infrastructure in the coming years to meet the growing demand as it produces and sells more electric cars.
The robot does not yet have a launch date, and the company states that it is still a prototype to be developed. The robot can begin its activities through an app used by the vehicle owner.
Once initiated, the charger approaches the electric car, opens the vehicle’s charging port cover, and connects and disconnects the plug. The robot is also capable of moving and connecting electric cars to an energy storage unit.
