Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) and Portable Electric have formed a partnership to provide sustainable mobile charging solutions for construction sites. Through the partnership, the companies will offer the Voltstack 30k Level 2 Mobile EV Charger. The mobile charging station caters to a wide range of electric equipment requirements such as boost charging or providing recharging services whenever needed including on temporary or remote worksites.
Volvo CE's 245 North American dealer locations will enable customers to bundle the Voltstack 30k Level 2 mobile electric charger with the purchase of Volvo electric equipment.
The Voltstack 30k Level 2 e-Charger, equipped with 30 kW power output and 80 kWh battery capacity, will play a role in the recharging of Volvo's ECR25 excavator, the L20 and L25 wheel loaders as well as other electric construction equipment. In addition to providing a variety of charging solutions, the unit provides a source of silent, emission-free power on jobsites. The Voltstack 30k can also be hybridized with a generator to provide off-grid power through its “Smart Hybrid” feature. This feature allows the Voltstack 30k to automatically engage a diesel generator when it reaches a state of low charge.
"We are pleased to partner with Portable Electric to offer our customers an efficient, sustainable and off–grid mobile charging solution for their Volvo electric equipment,” said Ray Gallant, VP sustainability and productivity services at Volvo CE. “Bundling charging infrastructure like the Voltstack 30k Level 2 e-Charger with the purchase of our electric excavators or wheel loaders supports customers in reducing the carbon footprint of construction sites and improving the overall environmental impact of their projects."
"We are excited to partner with Volvo CE to provide our Voltstack 30k Level 2 e-Charger to customers across North America. With its silent operation and emission-free power source, the Voltstack 30k Level 2 e-Charger is an ideal mobile charging solution for construction sites where noise, air pollution and recharge times are a concern," added Scott Hardy, CEO of Portable Electric.
By providing customers with a reliable mobile charging solution, both companies intend to help reduce construction operations' environmental impact and support the transition to a more sustainable future.
