The Cross-Israel Highway, one of Israel’s busiest travel routes, has upgraded its “ON” EV charging station at Dor-Alon Station thanks to the successful implementation of ZOOZ POWER Ltd.’s ground-breaking Power Boosting technology.
The enhanced site is the result of a successful partnership between ZOOZ Power and the “ON” charging network, which is Israel’s top ultra-fast charging network and is run jointly by Afcon Electric Transportation, a top CPO, and Dor-Alon, a top petrol station network operator.
The goal of this collaborative endeavour is to overcome the constraints imposed by the local electrical grid in order to better serve EV drivers on this primary route and meet the increasing demand for ultra-fast charging capabilities. The goal of ZOOZ’s creative solution, which is based on the ZOOZTERTM-100 Power Booster and ZOOZ’s exclusive Energy Management System (EMS), is to enable “ON” to offer better on-site charging services by upgrading the previous configuration—which consisted of one ultra-fast charger and two fast chargers—to four ultra-fast (150kW) chargers that can support eight charging ports. ZOOZ’s solution does this by boosting the grid and controlling the chargers’ power.
“This is a significant milestone in facilitating fast-charging services to the Israeli EV drivers, and improving their driving experience and, as a result of that, helping EV adoption vision to become a reality” said Avi Cohen, ZOOZ Power Executive Chairman. “Together with Dor Alon and Afcon, we provided a cutting-edge solution showing that our technology allows accelerating the deployment of EV charging infrastructure with multiple ultra-fast charging ports, while smartly utilizing the limited grid available on site, enabling growth of utilization and empowering charging stations profitability more rapidly and efficiently.”
This is another step of collaboration between the parties, following on the success of a Pilot project in which the parties established an ultra-fast charging site at the Dor-Alon station “Mall-Zichron” in Israel, which is commercially operational since January 2023. The operational success of that project laid the groundwork for expanding the partnership to support “ON” charging sites on the main transportation corridor in Israel.
The parties plan to implement ZOOZ’s solution and upgrade an additional site of “ON” on Route 6, the Cross-Israel Highway. This additional upgraded charging site, in the southern part of this highway, is expected to open in the second quarter of 2024.
