Lincoln Electric, Edge Energy and DC America have introduced a collaborative charging platform designed to deliver up to 100 kW of DC fast charging using standard single-phase electrical service, offering a workaround for sites unable to support three-phase upgrades.
The companies said the modular, skid-mounted system gives small businesses, municipalities and fleet operators a faster and more economical route to deploy high-power charging, without waiting for extensive grid upgrades. High-capacity DC chargers typically require three-phase power, which many commercial properties and rural locations do not have. Utility installation of three-phase service often involves new transformers, trenching, regulatory approvals and lengthy scheduling.
Edge Energy CEO Shaun Shuler said the new platform is intended to remove those constraints. “This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission to accelerate the adoption of sustainable energy solutions,” he said. “By unlocking fast charging in places where it was previously impossible, we’re helping communities and companies embrace the EV transition with greater speed, flexibility, and efficiency.”
The system converts single-phase input into fast-charging output, enabling up to 100 kW delivery—levels typically unreachable on single-phase lines. The companies said the design allows operators to scale up deployments as demand increases.
Production of the single-phase DC fast-charging skids is expected to begin in late 2025, with units available for order ahead of rollout.
