Powering the Future of GSE with High-Performance Chargers

Enatel is leveraging decades of experience with industrial battery chargers to bring its proven charging performance to the electric GSE market. Designed for demanding airport conditions, the Enatel eGSE charger is thoughtfully engineered to incorporate GSE-specific enhancements.

Key benefits include:

• World-Leading Efficiency: The Enatel charger achieves a world-leading peak efficiency of 97.6%. Enhanced efficiency reduces operating costs, electricity usage and emissions, optimises charging times, reduces vehicle downtime, and boosts overall GSE productivity.
• Robust Reliability: Constructed with marine-grade aluminium and stainless steel, the external cabinet of the Enatel charger offers exceptional durability to resist corrosion from extreme environments. Additionally, the Enatel eGSE charger ensures maximum performance in hot conditions, featuring an integrated cooling mechanism which allows the cabinet to operate in a broad temperature range to prevent overheating.
• Enhanced Flexibility: The Enatel eGSE charger supports both lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries from 24V to 94V, providing versatility for mixed battery eGSE fleets. The dual-port option enables simultaneous charging of two vehicles for faster turnaround times in busy airport environments. Additional software features unique to the Enatel eGSE charger enable dynamic power management across groups of chargers to reduce infrastructure requirements where power is scarce or prohibitively expensive.

"Our latest eGSE charger demonstrates our strength in innovation, driven by our in-house expertise and a clear understanding of industry needs," said Enatel General Manager Mike Clifford. "FastCharge's extensive experience and strong reputation in the eGSE space makes them an ideal partner."
