Autel’s MaxiCharger series will now be sold in Australia through a partnership with Connect Source.

The Australian federal government recently passed legislation to cut carbon emissions and has offered incentives to promote battery electric vehicles while phasing out conventional vehicles, which is expected to sharply increase demand for electrified mobility. New EV sales in Australia in the first three quarters of 2022 grew by 65% year-on-year and represented 3.39% of all new cars sold, according to Australia’s Electric Vehicle Council.

EVs are forecasted by the federal government to make up 26% of new car sales by 2030 as battery costs continue to decline and as government and leading automakers including Tesla invest heavily in charging infrastructure.

Autel’s MaxiCharger line-up includes both AC chargers suitable for homes and businesses and DC fast chargers ready for volume businesses and commercial locations.

The MaxiCharger AC is an AC charger with an integrated touchscreen and is compatible with every EV with a Type 1 or Type 2 charging port. It simplifies installation and maintenance, while intelligently designed cooling keeps temperatures under full load 10°C lower than the industry average, extending product lifespan by more than ten years, Autel says.

The DC Wall Mount is the smallest DC charger made by Autel, running two charging ports at 47kW each. Providing 130km range from a 30-minute charge, with a small footprint, low installation cost, and smart advertising capabilities, this charger is the perfect DC entry charger.

The MaxiCharger DC Fast is Autel’s fastest charger, capable of delivering between 60 kW and 240 kW of power, the latter being fast enough to add 260km in 10 minutes of charge time. Designed for charge point operators and high-volume businesses, a 27-inch 4k touch screen offers an advertising gateway to target customers while they’re charging and allows for multiple payment options.
