The toggle unit technology enables the EV charging station to charge multiple EVs successively without the insertion or removal of plugs during the charging process. The company says the functionality improves the charging process for EV drivers; increases the number of cars that can utilise the EV charging station; reduces the potential strain on the energy grid; and reduces the EV service equipment, network, and energy costs.

‘As EV sales continue to hit records, the need for EV charging continues to grow and CarCharging is committed to improving the charging experience,’ said Michael D Farkas, CEO of CarCharging.  ‘We are confident that our EV station with toggle unit technology will enhance EV charging in various areas, including allowing EV drivers to plug in immediately and not have to come back to plug in their EV, which increases the number of electric cars that can utilise the station, and by reducing the costs associated with the equipment, the network, and the actual charging.’

CarCharging’s EV charging station technology with toggle unit will also include the ability to delay charging an EV to off-peak times without having to be physically present to initiate the charge, which could reduce the energy costs associated with charging.
