Features & Benefits
Charging Volvo electric machines
With the PU500 you have the flexibility to both fast charge your machine with the DC output or charge using the AC output, without the need for a grid connection. How long it takes to charge your electric excavator or wheel loader depends on which option you choose.
Charging the L90 Electric, L120 Electric and EC230 Electric
Charging the L90 Electric, with a battery capacity of 180kW, will take 1 hour 10 minutes using DC output and 7 hours when using AC output. For the L120 Electric, which has a battery capacity of 282kWh it takes 2 hours using the DC output. Charging the EC230 electric, with a battery capacity of 264kW will take 1 hour 30 minutes using DC output and 10 hours when using AC output.
Charging L20, L25, ECR18, EC18 and ECR25 Electric
For the L20 Electric, which has a battery capacity of 33kWh it takes 1 hour 45 minutes using the DC output and 5 hours when using the AC output. Charging the L20 Electric and L25 electric with a battery capacity of 40kW will take 2 hours 20 minutes using DC output and 6 hours when using AC output. The ECR18 with a battery capacity of 16kWh, takes 1 hour to charge using DC output and 5 hours using AC output. The EC18 and ECR25 have a battery capacity of 20kWh. Charging EC18 with DC output will take 1 hour and 15 minutes and 6 hours using AC output. Charging ECR25 with DC output will take 1 hour and 15 minutes and 5.5 hours using AC output.
How to charge the mobile Volvo PU500 power unit
PU500 is a mobile power unit with a battery capacity of 330-400kWh and can be configured with new or second life battery packs depending on customer needs. It brings power to sites with little or no grid availability. With an integrated 240kW DC charger it can charge large electric machines and electric trucks in as little as 1 hour also enabling charging of other compact equipment and electric tools.
How long does it take to charge the power unit?
PU500 can be charged from the grid using 32A, 63A or 125A connection. Charging times will vary depending on outlet available. With a 32A outlet, the charging will take 15 hours, with 63A it will take 8 hours and with 125A it will take 6 hours.
Are special plugs required?
125A CEE charging cable is required to charge PU500 from the grid. If only 32A or 63A connections are available, it will be necessary to acquire an adapter. All Volvo electric machines come with an AC charging cable, therefore special plugs to charge them are not needed. No plugs are needed for DC charging machines either because CC2 DC charging plug is integrated to PU500.
How does the PU500 power unit work?
Here you can see how you can charge your mobile power unit PU500 from Volvo and how you can use the energy stored in the power unit to charge your electric construction machines, electric trucks, other charging solutions and working tools.
Slow charging the unit
The power unit can be charged slowly from the grid with 32A, 62A or 125A connection. This is the most cost-effective method for charging up the power unit during off-peak periods. In this way customers can save up energy within the unit to charge their electric machines during peak times, when power direct from the grid is more expensive.
Fast charging machines and trucks
The PU500 has an integrated 240kW DC fast charger and can charge large electric machines and electric trucks, both Volvo and non-Volvo. The power unit has also an integrated 17kW DC fast charger (48V) for charging Volvo electric compact machines.
Slow charging
AC outlets are available to slow charge both Volvo and non-Volvo large and compact electric machines, electric trucks and electric tools as well. On the same AC outlets, it is possible to connect different charging solutions like PU40 or even 17kW DC fast charger.
