The Cleveland-based company is planning to design and manufacture Level 3 chargers, the kind that can charge vehicles in about 30 minutes. These powerful charges would be found at charging stations along the interstates, not in people’s homes.
The company is also used to adding smart technology to its products. Electric vehicles will need to be connected to the internet and to be able to communicate with vehicles and other chargers, another kind of engineering Lincoln Electric is used too. A big difference is how fast the devices deliver electricity. Welders are low voltage and high current; chargers are high voltage and low current.Voltage, measured in volts, is the pressure inside the “pipe” and it pushes energy through the system. Current, measured in amps, is like the water coming out of the pipe and is the stream of electricity that comes out, whether its leaves a welding torch or a charger.
States should begin their requests for proposals in 2023 and 2024. Sumner said Lincoln Electric wants to be ready with an option. Its chargers would use the open charge point protocol, an industry standard for electric vehicles.
