Juice Technology, A Swiss Multinational, Has Just Developed A Portable Charger That Can Charge Basically All Electric Cars That Use Type 2 And 1 Outlets.

The company Juice Technology from Switzerland announced last Friday (8) that it is working on a portable charger for electric cars that can be adapted to Type 2 and 1 outlets and is compact, making transportation much easier and more practical. The aim of the multinational’s product is to provide an alternative when there is no charging station accessible for the vehicle. According to the company, in a press release, it is necessary to make energy more accessible to electric vehicle drivers.

Learn How The Swiss Multinational’s Portable Charger Works

The Juice Booster 2 acts as a portable charging station of 22 kW that works with all electric cars with Type 2 or Type 1 charging outlets, making it possible to use it worldwide and with all types of power outlets, such as industrial and household ones. According to the company, all of this is possible due to an extensive system of adapters that function similarly to a universal USB hub that unifies all charging outlets.

This function eliminates the autonomy problem and also one of the less intuitive aspects of driving electric cars: Knowing and understanding what is needed to recharge the vehicle due to the various power levels of charging stations.

The portable charger for electric cars allows charging from single-phase to three-phase, from 1.4 to 22 kW, with up to 32 Amperes, making it possible for the vehicle to be fully charged in 3 to 4 hours under ideal conditions. The multinational’s product can also be used as a wall box or with a Type 2 cable. It also comes equipped with FI-AEV breaker technology, eliminating the need for a costly and complicated adaptation.

Discover Some Highlights Of The Product For Electric Cars

The portable charger stands out for being lightweight and easily portable, yet it is also robust and ready for various weather conditions. Its control center is also made of aluminum, making it resistant to impacts, dust, and, surprisingly, to vehicles weighing over three tons. The multinational also states that the charger is splash-proof for IP67, but it is also completely waterproof.

The product was also developed with a focus on safety. The Juice Connector features an innovative design based on aerospace engineering, allowing for smart power control, thanks to its automatic recognition of the adapter.

Due to its integrated technology, it automatically shuts down in the event of a dangerous AC or DC current failure. Continuous monitoring of the grounding conductor ensures the protection of the device.

Portable Battery For Emergencies

For those who worry about being stranded and their electric car running out of charge, a new solution is being developed by two electronics specialists, Jonathan Carrier and Richie Sibal. The specialists’ proposal is to provide a battery in a suitcase.

This portable charger is the first component in a global portable EV charging platform that the company plans to set up, which includes hardware, machine learning, software, and new ownership models.

Just as we can have gasoline in the trunk for emergencies, this suitcase, named ZipCharge, will provide an extra charge to “solve” the autonomy issues in electric cars. The battery is 4 kWh and can provide a maximum range of 32 km, depending on the model, of course.
