The New York Auto Show opened up to the public today but I was able to check it out a few days earlier during the Media Preview days. In addition to getting a look at the new EVs on display, I stopped by the Autel Energy booth to see if the company had any new electric vehicle charging equipment news they planned to announce at the show.

I was in luck and caught Autel's COO, John Thomas, at the booth and it just so happened that he had some spare time to lead me on a guided product tour and give me a sneak peek at a new charger they were introducing at the show.

Autel's new 40 kW dual-connector DC fast charger is portable, enabling it to service fleet garages and reduce infrastructure costs

John actually pulled back the cover of the company's new 40 kW portable MaxiCharger DC charger and let me check it out hours before it was formally introduced at the show. It's a dual-port charger that can charge two electric vehicles at once and comes with a 30-foot cable that plugs into the power supply. It also had 16-foot cables which gives the unit a total reach of 46 feet.

That maneuverability will allow businesses to charge many fleet vehicles every day with just one unit and lower the cost of building out infrastructure at the depot. The charger can deliver 40 kW to one vehicle, or split the power dynamically between two EVs.
