Nichicon Corporation has introduced what it believes is the smallest and
lightest quick charger for Electric Vehicles (EVs). This 10-kW-capacity
model is certified for the CHAdeMO system and expands the company’s
lineup by adding an EV quick charger that simplifies installation and
lowers the user’s total costs. Output voltage is DC 50 V to 500 V (rapid
recharging, CHAdeMO).

By utilizing its technology for OBCs (on board chargers) for EVs and
standardizing the main components, Nichicon has succeeded in developing
an ultra-compact quick charger. The product was displayed at the 2012
Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. Annual Congress, from
23–25 May at Pacifico Yokohama.
Nichicon has been supplying OBCs (OBC with DC/DC converter) for the
Mitsubishi i-MiEV and the Nissan LEAF since the release of these two
electric vehicles.
Utilizing its technology for OBCs for EVs, the company has developed and
released ever-more-compact quick chargers in the 20-, 30-, and 50-kW
output classes.
Nichicon said it was able to make this 10-kW ultra-compact quick charger
the world’s smallest and lightest in its class by utilizing the
company’s OBC technology and standardizing the main components.
