Situation
This equipment provider needed a mobile, high-power EV charging solution for a remote construction site 1/2 way around the world. There were no existing options to provide 500kW in a compact, towable trailer that could discharge while in transit. The system had to be charged off-site, transported easily, support various EV models, enable flexible on-site charging, and operate within the provider and their construction company’s daily schedules. And the system needed to be operational on a very short timescale.
Solution
Critical Loop quickly developed a customized, modular, mobile power system for the machinery provider, enabling off-grid EV charging at remote job sites. The system features a trailer-mounted 500kW/600kWh unit with integrated chargers, a smart AC combiner for multi-source charging, and a real-time control app for remote monitoring and management. Built for flexibility and reliability, it supports various EV models, ensures continuous operations, minimizes downtime, and easily scales for future projects.
Results
The Critical Loop system is able to provide the high power the customer needs, in the form factor required, to enable the next generation of fossil fuel free construction around the world, and is enhancing the customers ability to go after more complex and difficult market segments further from grid power in extremely difficult environments.
