DC Fast Charging (100 –2000 RPH)

Highway Rest Areas and Commercial Charging

DC Fast Chargers (DCFC) are designed to deliver a maximum amount of energy into a car’s battery in as short a time as possible. PISO has partnered with MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) as well as NFTA (Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority) to develop fast charging for the entire fleet. 

Fast Charging Details 

Most DCFCs you see these days will deliver about 200 RPH, but 600 RPH units are being commonly installed now. This means that you can stop at a rest stop for a half-hour or less for lunch and get 300 miles of range to continue your trip. The charging technology exists to deliver 2000 RPH, but these installations are rare at this time because they are costly and most vehicles on the market cannot yet accept that much electricity.
