India unveils first fast charger technology to cut EV charging times from hours to minutes

Lotus Wireless Technologies (LWT) and the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) have introduced India's first commercial Medium Voltage Solid State Transformer (SST). This technology allows for superfast electric vehicle (EV) charging, reducing charging times from hours to minutes. The SST was demonstrated at LWT's Aganampudi plant. This innovation aims to enhance EV charging efficiency and supports various applications, including marine and aviation systems. The development highlights collaboration between Indian engineering and Austrian technology. The new SST technology addresses the growing demand for efficient charging solutions. It represents a significant step in India's efforts to create advanced, sustainable energy technologies.
