Pune’s Quench Chargers Set to Power American EV Industry with New Manufacturing Facility

Quench Chargers, a firm that produces EV chargers, has announced the appointment of Bjoern Stoll, President & CEO at Digatron Power Electronics, Inc America as Head of Quench (Americas).

The firm’s ultra-fast chargers which were designed in India and are manufactured at its plant in Pune will now also be manufactured at the group’s American manufacturing facility located at Shelton, Connecticut from later this year.  Ranging in capacities from 30 KW to 60 KW/ 120 KW/ 180 KW /240 KW and 360 KW, Quench chargers are available in CCS1, CCS2, and ChaDeMo protocols.

Bjoern Stoll, who has spent the last ten years in the hydrogen and cryogenic industry sector said, “It is exciting to be taking this cutting-edge EV charger technology which has so far been designed, made in India and with many charger units now successfully installed in Australia, Southeast Asia, Europe and soon also the USA. The market in the US is experiencing significant growth following the announcement by the Biden Administration to support the rollout of sophisticated high-power EV charging infrastructure around the country.  Quench chargers will initially be sent as CKD kits from India for local assembly in the USA before being progressively localized with American-made components and manufacturing.”

Quench is a part of an 115-year-old ADOR Group, powered by German technology. Its chargers are specifically designed for challenging conditions, such as to withstand the harsh conditions of both the deserts of Saudi Arabia and the ultra-cold climates of Scandinavia. The company’s battery testing, charging and lab equipment has established presence in over 75 countries.

The ADOR Group has a joint venture entitled ‘Ador Digatron’ between Ador, India, and Digatron, Germany. ADOR Digatron is a technology house that provides deep industrial power electronics design, software and technical knowledge for quality battery formation rectifiers, battery testing equipment, battery charging technologies, and numerous customized battery charging solutions including Electric Vehicle DC hyper chargers.

Recently, Quench also launched Tallboy which, the firm claims, is among the world’s fastest EV chargers.
