EV CHARGER

LG’s Level 3 EV Charger and the Push for Accessible, Fast Charging

October 28, 2024

LG’s Level 3 EV charger delivers up to 175kW, enabling faster EV charging ideal for busy commercial locations.
Equipped with CCS and NACS plugs and a 24-inch LCD screen, this charger is compatible with most EVs and offers an intuitive user interface.
Built to operate in extreme temperatures (-22°F to 122°F) and featuring dynamic load management, the charger is designed for reliable, year-round outdoor use.

It’s no secret that as the EV market grows, so does the demand for accessible, efficient charging solutions. But are we truly equipped to support the infrastructure necessary for such rapid growth?

With LG Business Solutions answering the call by introducing its first Level 3 EV Charger, an ultra-fast, 175kW DC charging station, consumers and businesses finally have the power to meet charging demands without outdated, low-speed options that limit EV technology’s true potential.

The LG EVD175SK-PN model, soon to be assembled in Fort Worth, Texas, brings fresh hope for sustainable charging that’s not only powerful but efficient, customizable, and, most importantly, consumer-focused.

What Makes a Level 3 EV Charger So Crucial?

When it comes to charging speed, Level 3 EV chargers are impressively fast. Instead of waiting an hour to get a reasonable charge, you’re back on the road in minutes. For many EV drivers, the appeal of going electric can be dampened by the hassle of finding a quick, reliable charge. And who wouldn’t feel frustrated where we value convenience above all?

Level 3 charging stations, or DC fast chargers, completely change the game. They make road trips and daily commutes smoother, giving you a charge that Level 1 and Level 2 stations just can’t match.

LG’s new Level 3 DC fast charger, the LG EVD175SK-PN, not only supports up to 175kW of power for faster charging but also integrates features that prioritize user experience and efficiency.

It includes both CCS and NACS (SAE J3400, Tesla Supercharger) plug types, which ensures compatibility with a wide range of electric vehicles, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces. Designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -22°F to 122°F, this model stands up to varied weather conditions, providing reliability year-round.

The 24-inch high-resolution LCD touch screen serves as an interactive interface that displays vital information like charging status, rates, and time, simplifying the experience for users.

According to LG Business Solutions Senior VP Michael Kosla, the goal is clear, “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.”

The focus here isn’t only on speed, but it’s on ownership and accessibility, giving consumers and businesses the power to take part in the EV movement on their own terms.

Charging Beyond Convenience: A New Revenue Stream for Businesses

Level 3 charging stations are filling a gap in EV infrastructure. And they also represent a lucrative opportunity for businesses. By installing these stations, commercial spaces, shopping centers, and municipalities can create additional revenue streams.

Think of a parking lot that not only charges vehicles quickly but also attracts new customers, setting businesses apart in a competitor market where differentiation is key. LG’s fast chargers do precisely this, offering an easier way for owners to integrate charging stations as a value-added service.

Charging stations bring convenience by reducing range anxiety, so drivers can go about their routines without worrying about where their next charge will come from. LG’s Level 3 EV charger empowers users, giving them the freedom to spend their time as they choose.

“LG continues to invest in the global electrification movement,” says Kosla, “and the announcement of our first Level 3 DC charger demonstrates our ongoing commitment to provide our U.S. commercial customers with solutions that enable them to build out their EV vehicle charging infrastructure.”

Breaking Down Barriers to Sustainable Infrastructure

Too often, businesses shy away from upgrading to sustainable infrastructure because of fears about cost, reliability, or the sheer hassle of change. But LG’s Level 3 DC chargers are breaking those barriers, ensuring that businesses can make the switch to high-speed EV infrastructure with confidence.

Thanks to a nationwide network of LG-trained sales, support, and technical professionals, buyers can rest assured that installation and maintenance are handled by trusted experts.

LG’s latest addition brings a fresh alternative, one that supports the true capabilities of EV technology and moves us one step closer to nationwide electrification. With flexible power settings and dynamic load management for optimal energy distribution across multiple chargers, LG ensures that businesses and municipalities can adapt to increased demand without compromising performance.

As the report states, LG’s Level 3 EV chargers “are part of LG Electronics’ broad electrification strategy that empowers customers to convert buildings to more sustainable energy usage, saving money and protecting the environment in the process.”

With its high-speed charging, flexible infrastructure, and support from a nationwide network, this Level 3 EV charger from LG delivers on all fronts: convenience, reliability, and forward-thinking technology that empowers users.
