Shakti Hi-Tech, a leading name in power electronics and energy solutions, has officially unveiled its new line of Heavy-Duty Industrial EV Chargers, marking a significant milestone in India’s push toward sustainable transportation and industrial electrification. These high-performance chargers are specifically engineered for industrial EV applications, offering unmatched durability, fast charging capabilities, and smart grid integration.
Setting a New Benchmark in Industrial EV Charging
Industrial operations demand equipment that performs reliably under pressure—and that principle now extends to EV charging infrastructure. Recognizing this need, Shakti Hi-Tech has introduced a new generation of industrial EV chargers designed to meet the energy demands of commercial fleets, logistics hubs, warehouses, mining operations, and large-scale manufacturing environments.
These chargers aren’t just bigger—they’re smarter, faster, and built for heavy-duty use. Unlike conventional EV chargers intended for passenger vehicles, Shakti’s new line is optimized for electric trucks, buses, forklifts, and other industrial vehicles that require high-capacity, continuous operation.
Key Features of the Shakti Hi-Tech Industrial EV Chargers
1. High Power Output and Rapid Charging
With output capacities ranging from 150 kW to 600 kW, Shakti’s chargers enable ultra-fast charging for large battery systems, significantly reducing vehicle downtime. A typical electric truck can be charged up to 80% in less than 45 minutes, allowing for quicker turnaround in time-sensitive operations.
2. Modular and Scalable Architecture
Each unit features a modular design, making it easy to scale as fleet demands grow. Whether powering a few vehicles or supporting a full logistics fleet, the system can adapt without major infrastructure changes.
3. Durability Built for Industrial Environments
Constructed with corrosion-resistant enclosures and designed to operate in extreme temperatures and dusty conditions, these chargers thrive in rugged environments such as mining sites and industrial yards. The chargers are IP65-rated, ensuring protection against water and particulate ingress.
4. Smart Grid Compatibility and IoT Integration
The chargers support OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol), enabling seamless backend integration with fleet management software and smart grid systems. Real-time monitoring, usage analytics, and remote diagnostics allow operators to optimize energy consumption and predict maintenance needs.
5. Multi-Vehicle Compatibility
Equipped with multiple charging connectors such as CCS2 and CHAdeMO, the chargers support a wide range of industrial EVs from various OEMs. This flexibility is critical for companies with mixed-vehicle fleets.
Powering India’s Green Industrial Transition
India is accelerating its transition to electric mobility, and the industrial sector plays a vital role in that shift. However, one of the main bottlenecks has been the lack of reliable industrial EV chargers capable of supporting heavy-duty use.
By addressing this infrastructure gap, Shakti Hi-Tech is not only expanding its product portfolio but also contributing directly to national sustainability goals. The new chargers align with initiatives such as the FAME-II scheme and the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP), which incentivize the adoption of EV technology in commercial and industrial sectors.
Early Industry Adoption and Deployment
Initial rollouts of Shakti Hi-Tech’s industrial EV chargers have already begun at select logistics parks in Gujarat and Maharashtra. Companies involved in freight, cold-chain logistics, and construction equipment rentals have shown strong interest, citing the chargers’ fast ROI through operational efficiency and fuel savings.
In addition to domestic deployment, Shakti is eyeing international markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East where industrial electrification is gaining momentum.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What makes industrial EV chargers different from regular EV chargers?
Industrial EV chargers are built to handle higher power outputs, more robust usage cycles, and harsh operating conditions. They are tailored for commercial vehicles and equipment rather than personal EVs.
Q2: Can these chargers be used in outdoor environments?
Yes, Shakti Hi-Tech’s chargers are IP65-rated, making them suitable for outdoor use in extreme weather, dust, and industrial settings.
Q3: Are these chargers compatible with all electric trucks and buses?
The chargers offer multi-protocol support (CCS2, CHAdeMO), enabling them to work with most industrial EV models available in the market today.
Q4: What kind of maintenance do these chargers require?
Thanks to remote diagnostics and rugged construction, maintenance is minimal. Scheduled servicing and software updates ensure optimal performance with minimal manual intervention.
Q5: How are these chargers integrated with fleet management systems?
They support OCPP and IoT-enabled platforms, which allow them to integrate easily with fleet tracking, energy monitoring, and billing systems.
