Charging the world’s leading EV winter range test
Overview
Facing -35°C temperatures during the El Prix EV winter range test, NAF needed a robust mobile charging solution capable of maintaining high‑power performance in harsh Nordic conditions. OEG’s eCharge Rapid system delivered stable, rapid charging throughout the event, overcoming extreme cold and constant relocation to keep the test running seamlessly.
Challenges
The trial took place in Norway where temperatures dropped to -35°C, severely impacting EV battery efficiency and charging behaviour. To keep the test running smoothly, NAF needed a system that could deliver consistent high‑power charging, withstand extreme cold, and ensure continuous vehicle turnover without delays or performance loss.
