LG is now taking orders for its first DC fast charger in the US

LG Business Solutions USA is now taking orders for the first LG DC fast charger in the US, which is being built in Texas.

LG’s new Level 3 charger is a stand-type model with a connected Power Bank that provides fast charging up to 175 kW.

It features dynamic load management of multiple chargers, a high-resolution 24-inch LCD touch-screen display, and an 18-foot liquid-cooled CCS/NACS charging cable. The outdoor LCD touch-screen display can serve multiple functions for various owners and use cases. USB and over-the-air software updates are available, and it takes multiple payment forms.

LG’s DC fast charger for the US market, model LG EVD175SK-PN, has been certified to UL 2594, the UL Standard for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment. It’s being assembled this fall at the company’s Fort Worth EV charging production center, which is LG’s first EV charger factory in the US.

The 100,000-square-foot factory, which opened in January, is where Seoul-headquartered LG Electronics already has a 1 million-square-foot distribution center for consumer electronics and home appliances.

LG is already manufacturing 11 kW Level 2 chargers with a standard SAE J1772 connector in Fort Worth, and it also has plans to assemble 350 kW ultra-fast chargers there. 

LG Business Solutions senior vice president Michael Kosla said, “Together, our Level 2 and Level 3 chargers are creating new opportunities for businesses, municipalities, and other public places to support the electrification of America with independently owned and operated charging stations that create new revenue streams, additional marketing and income opportunities, and differentiation with competing businesses.”
