Power conversion proves pivotal for fleet charging

The UK government is putting forward £2.2m (US$2.77m) to support research into ultra high speed rapid and movable charging technology for electric commercial vehicles (CVs). The trial brings together start-up charging specialist Zapinamo with the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), an academic department at the University of Warwick. WMG brings a wealth of expertise on the power electronics side, which could prove pivotal to the system's success.
