Pittsburgh-based Eaton, an intelligent power management company, recently unveiled its EV Charging Busway, a system that simplifies electric vehicle (EV) fleet charging by eliminating cable runs and major modifications to existing parking and conveyor structures.
“We’re helping fleet managers accelerate the energy transition with innovative hardware and software that rapidly achieve new levels of sustainability, cost savings and flexibility,” Paul Ryan, Eaton director of Connected Solutions and EV charging, said. “Our latest innovation, EV Charging Busway, integrates seamlessly into existing electrical systems to make it easier than ever to deploy, scale and manage EV charging infrastructure.”
The EV Charging Busway incorporates a retractable cable management system for AC Level 2 chargers that keeps cords and electrical equipment off the ground. It can also support ground mounted DC fast charging pedestals.
The system is designed for interoperability and support the North American Charging Standard and Open Charge Point Protocol1.6J.
Eaton’s chargers can be integrated with the company’s Charging Network Manager software.
Eaton’s Green Motion EV charging hardware enables intelligent load management, throttling the rate of charge to maximize available electrical capacity onsite.
Founded in 1911, Eaton serves customers in more than 170 countries. In 2022, it reported revenue totaling $20.8 billion.
