- California-based startup Enteligent is taking pre-orders for what it calls the world’s first solar DC-to-DC electric vehicle chargers.
- The unit can take power from a photovoltaic array and send it directly to the car’s charging port, cutting energy losses by up to 20% compared to a conventional setup that goes from DC to AC and then back to DC.
- There’s no need for a separate inverter, although the charger can be integrated into an existing photovoltaic circuit.
