Siemens subsidiary Heliox has launched a new 60 kW EV charger. The compact Heliox 60 charger is made specifically for the North American market, and is UL, CSA and Energy Star certified, and Buy America-compliant.
The Heliox 60 delivers an output of 150 A, and can provide 60 kW of power for both 400-volt and 800-volt vehicles. It features a single CCS-1 (SAE J1772) output, and the company plans to add SAE J3400 (formerly known as Tesla’s NACS) and multi-output configurations. The unit also allows for a 30 kW version within the same cabinet design.
Designed with scalability and convenience in mind, the Heliox 60’s form factor is designed to allow low-profile installations. It features an LCD display and LED status bars. Available accessories include a floor-mounted pedestal, cable management solutions, and a mobile cart configuration.
All Heliox chargers use the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) for cloud-based monitoring and control.
The Heliox 60 will be available through select Siemens distributors in addition to Sourcewell and partnerships with vehicle OEMs.
“Since first ramping up the US team, the Heliox 60 was destined to be a staple in our product portfolio,” said Heliox US President David Aspinwall. “There are many exciting collaborations and pilots focused on high-power charging systems, but application-appropriate power and high-value chargers are paramount in the present state of the EV industry.”
