Delphi to Offer Portable Charging System

Delphi, a global automotive supplier will collaborate with ClipperCreek, a developer of electric vehicle charging stations to develop and market portable charging systems for all-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

The new product is a portable Charger Coupler Cordset that charges the vehicle’s battery using a standard wall outlet. It has a charge port coupler at one end and a plug-in head at the other.

We expect this system to provide one of the safest, most innovative charging solutions to the rapidly growing EV market, allowing consumers to plug into existing electrical infrastructure,” Randy Sumner, director, global hybrid vehicle development, Delphi Packard electrical/electronic architecture, was quoted as saying by just-auto.

The companies say that the system will offer automakers the opportunity to provide a charging system in the boot of all their plug-in vehicles. The two partners expect this to attract the automotive producers, thus turning the product into a commercial success.

Consumers are looking for electric vehicles to reduce their dependency on petroleum and to lower greenhouse gas emissions. In order for them to become reality, they must be accessible and practical for the average consumer. We believe these charging systems will go a long way toward making that happen,” Sumner added.

The portable charging system is expected to offer a safe charging process. The device's design will be influenced by potential electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid vehicle customers, in order to ensure that it is suitable for everyday use.
