Nuove colonnine Ionity 350kW

Pubblicato da Juza (Redazione AutoElettrica101) il 13 Settembre 2019




Ionity ha iniziato la produzione di una nuova versione delle colonnine 350kW: il look è molto più moderno e molto simile a quelle inizialmente mostrato nei rendering; sono alte oltre due metri e hanno una luce per renderle immediatamente riconoscibili e illuminare la zona circostante. Attualmente non c'è ancora nessuna auto in grado di sfruttarle al massimo potenziale, ma la Porsche Taycan si avvicina, grazie alla potenza di ricarica 270kW.

Mi auguro che questa nuova versione risolva anche i bug delle precedenti colonnine Ionity, che con alcuni auto andavano frequentemente in blocco.

Il look delle nuove colonnine, viste dal vivo:




Per confronto, nei rendering apparivano così:




Mentra la versione reale fino ad ora aveva 2-3 design diversi a seconda del produttore della colonnine, un esempio:




Comunicato stampa :

– IONITY, a joint venture of BMW Group,
Daimler AG, Ford Motor Company and the Volkswagen Group with Porsche
AG, today presents its innovative and new High-Power charger and
welcomes additional shareholder Hyundai Motor Group on board. The
joint venture's mission is to make pan-European electromobility a reality.
IONITY's new, award-winning High-Power chargers are instantly
recognisable thanks to their lighting concept and deliver a significantly
improved user experience compared to what is currently available in Europe.
The innovative styling is the result of intensive user research carried out by
Designworks and is intended to make the charging experience more
comfortable, more secure and less hassle. The IONITY High-Power charger
with its iconic looks and improved easy-to-use functionality – supports its
vision to accelerate e-mobility by leading High Power Charging.
At 2.6 metres in height, the all-new IONITY High-Power charger features a
unique multi-functional LED light ring – The Halo – acting as a beacon on the
highways at night and making it easier for drivers to find stations on
forecourts.
The light ring communicates the chargers availability depending on the
colour as well as providing a well-lit area helpful for drivers charging their
cars during the hours of darkness. It communicates the state of charge by
changing colour. As well as its distinct LED beacon, the new IONITY HighPower charger features advanced Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens,
making the process of charging a vehicle as simple and stress-free as
possible. Information is presented to the customer in a structured menu,
which is easy to understand with commonality across all European markets.
The IONITY HPC chargers which have already been installed across Europe
will be updated accordingly in order to be able to incorporate the same menu.
Customers can select from up to ten languages across Europe . This is
supported by a 24/7 hotlinewhich from October will be able to respond in the
seven most-frequently used European languages.
The charging cable management system is now far more user friendly thanks
to the helpful repositioning of the cable so that it feeds from above. In
addition, this makes the cable more flexible when approaching your vehicle
and plugging in.
The new chargers won the gold award at the 2019 iF Design Awards where 67
experts from more than 50 countries honoured the IONITY product design
and said that, ' the IONITY electric charger is a highly aesthetic answer to one
of the key issues of e-mobility: long distance travel.'
Michael Hajesch, IONITY CEO, said: “We are confident our new IONITY HighPower chargers will make a significant contribution to e-mobility in general
and to the European IONITY HPC network in particular. Forward-looking
product design with innovative lighting solutions, user-friendly cable
management, advanced digital user interface and class-leading architecture
will make EV charging more convenient and safer for customers.”
IONITY's technology partner TRITIUM is the first manufacturer to
industrialize the new IONITY High-Power charger on a large scale with its
market leading 350kW capacity. The charger incorporates a fully flush
compartment with no bumps, no exposed screws or pop rivets - the charging
point is entirely smooth which further demonstrates the high standard
achieved in the design and engineering. The European IONITY HPC network
will benefit significantly from these new products, with the first IONITY
station to feature the new High-Power charger opening in Denmark this
autumn.
Tritium CEO and co-founder, David Finn, said: “These are true state-of-theart chargers, which will change the very look and feel of highways across the
continent. When people see these bright beacons shining in the distance,
they'll know that they get served in a most convenient, safe and fastest rate
possible.”
IONITY's initial network of 400 High-Power charging stations is planned to be
deployed by the end of 2020, and will include many of the new IONITY HighPower chargers. Approximately 140 IONITY HPC stations are currently up and
running with over 50 under construction. The 350kW charging network is
future-proofed while at the same time serving today's EVs. Located on or
near the highway, they make e-mobility a convenient, reliable and everyday
experience. By teaming up with strategic site partners more than 95 percent
of the planned IONITY network has already been covered with a
corresponding range of good quality amenities available on site.
The IONITY High-Power charging network across 24 European countries is
powered by 100% renewable energy. By offering only renewable energy
IONITY is acting responsibly to reduce the individual CO2 footprint of all
customers charging at IONITY stations.
