SuperPanther has recently set a new partnership with ELMI Power, aimed at jointly developing a European fast-charging and energy-storage ecosystem tailored to commercial vehicles and logistics fleets. ELMI Power is set to provide battery-supported ultra-fast charging (400–600 kW), integrated storage systems (340–600 kWh and scalable), as well as grid-relieving depot and on-route charging solutions.

On the other hand, SuperPanther has been developing next-generation electric heavy duty-truck platform, featured by high-performance powertrain and commercial vehicle architecture. “Together, the companies will address the most pressing challenges of commercial transport electrification in Europe: limited grid capacity, high investment barriers, long project lead times and rising power demand as 400 kW+ vehicle platforms become the new industry standard”.

SuperPanther to enhance EV charging options for customers

ELMI’s battery-supported solutions reduce complexity and shorten deployment timelines dramatically. Such an approach “unlocks locations that previously could not support high-power charging – making depot electrification and corridor charging economically viable for logistics operators, retailers, transport hubs and fleet operators”, stated SuperPanther.

“This partnership is a milestone for ELMI Power — and for the future of commercial EV charging in Europe. By combining SuperPanther’s vehicle innovation with our battery-supported charging ecosystem, we are addressing one of Europe’s biggest bottlenecks: grid limitations”, declared James Xu, CEO & Founder, ELMI Power.

“SuperPanther drives the adoption of new-energy heavy duty trucks in Europe through our fully self-developed technology. This collaboration will allow us to offer tailor-made charging solutions to our customers and it will further accelerate grid integration and the mobility transition”, added Chao Liu, CEO & Founder, SuperPanther.
