In a groundbreaking move, Servotech Power Systems Ltd., a leading manufacturer of EV chargers and solar solutions, has announced the filing of two patents that promise to reshape the landscape of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The patents are designed to facilitate fast charging for GB/T Bharat DC 001 vehicles using a CCS2 connector and a small additional gadget, thus paving the way for a robust, interoperable, and cost-effective EV charging ecosystem.
The two innovative methodologies introduced by Servotech Power Systems aim to transform the EV charging infrastructure, particularly in regions where the GB/T with LVDC standards are prevalent, such as India. By allowing users to fast charge GB/T Bharat DC 001 vehicles through widely available CCS2 chargers, the technology eliminates the need for dual infrastructure expenses. This breakthrough also benefits fleet services and vehicles adhering to the GB/T Bharat DC 001 protocol, enabling them to utilise the more abundant CCS2 chargers for seamless charging.
The GB/T Bharat DC 001 standard, widely used in India, meets its match with the CCS2 standard—a global fast charging standard utilised in Europe, the UK, and other countries. Servotech Power Systems’ visionary advancement not only streamlines the charging process for EV owners but also opens new markets for GB/T Bharat DC 001 vehicle manufacturers. Additionally, it facilitates easier travel for EV owners between India and Europe, unlocking new possibilities for cross-border electric mobility.
This isn’t the first time Servotech Power Systems has taken a pioneering stance in the industry. Earlier, the company filed two patents aimed at optimising grid services through a battery energy storage system and channelling renewable energy effectively into battery energy storage systems (BESS). These innovations, applicable across various fields, including solar and electric vehicle charging systems, have significantly improved energy management and overall efficiency.
Arun Handa, Chief Technical Officer of Servotech Power Systems Ltd., expressed the company’s commitment to innovation, emphasising its role in enhancing accessibility, convenience, and interoperability in charging solutions within the EV industry. Servotech’s two-decade journey has been marked by a relentless focus on cutting-edge technologies, aligning with the Make in India concept and fostering the adoption of sustainable technologies in the EV ecosystem.
