Blink Charging Co., a provider of electric vehicle charging equipment and services, has teamed with EdgeEnergy, a provider of power conversion equipment, to deploy EdgeEnergy's proprietary power source, the EdgeEV, that utilizes proprietary technology to convert single-phase power into three-phase power for EV DC fast chargers, according to a press release.

The EdgeEV will allow Blink to deploy EV chargers at a lower cost and faster timeline than if they were to rely on traditional grid upgrades. The EdgeEV uses patented technology to provide balanced 3-phase power from a single-phase input in ratings up to 150kw and, unlike battery-dependent solutions, can provide continuous on-demand power to the fast-charging station. It can also be paired with additional EdgeEV units to deliver larger kilowatt outputs for supporting larger charger installations, all on single-phase power.

"With EdgeEnergy's technology we will be able to deploy more of our ultra-fast charging stations more quickly, even without 3-phase," Brendan Jones, president of Blink Charging, said in the press release.
