Next month, Epyon will install a Terra Base Station 100.X with fast-charge posts in front of Prestige’s office in the Dutch city of Nieuwegein.
Epyon’s offering enables Prestige to reduce the charging time of its vehicles to as little as 15 to 30minutes, compared with eight hours when using a regular power outlet.
The multi-port system has the capacity to charge the batteries of up to four EVs simultaneously, the company said.
The Terra system will be connected to the Epyon service center, which provides remote maintenance, software updates and industry-leading backbone network uptime.
Epyon will also deploy its power-routing capabilities to seamlessly integrate EV fast-charging into Prestige’s day-to-day operations.
With the Epyon’s fast-charging software, Prestige can remotely monitor the charging status when vehicles are connected to the base station.
The data will instantly be fed into Prestige’s scheduling system to ensure rides will only be assigned to cabs with sufficient battery power.
Prestige CEO George Jansen said that a large-scale network of fast chargers is being rolled out in the region, and the network increases autonomy of green cabs and at the same time stimulates new adopters of EV as it is open to other users.
