All Success Stories

Hitachi Energy

Hitachi Energy manufactures electric bus charging stations for various fleets such as theme park buses, public transportation and other logistical transport. As more fleets move to EVs, companies and municipalities face the challenge of building the infrastructure to support EV charging requirements. Hitachi offers end-to-end solutions, including designing the necessary electrical grid and creating the charging infrastructure and operational tools.

The Power Challenge

Hitachi was in the process of securing equipment for a new location. Finding the right investment in equipment that could handle future growth can be a challenge for any company and indeed for one at the forefront of innovation.

The EA-BTS 10300 highlighted what Hitachi was looking for – the flexibility of a modular-platform power supply architecture that allowed it to quickly expand its capabilities to higher-power solutions without buying entirely new power supply systems. In addition, EA’s embedded software solutions allow for easy integration and quick setup.

Product Description

The EA-BTS 10300 is a turnkey solution ready to go today and for the next ten years. EA Elektro-Automatik recognized that fast-growing EV battery manufacturers would require turnkey systems with this flexibility and efficiency to support current and future test needs.
