ADS-TEC Energy announced it is establishing its first dedicated facility in North America in Auburn, Ala., bringing together sales, warehousing, service and assembly in the new location. The company expects its new site in the United States to be fully functional by 2024, expanding ADS-TEC Energy's manufacturing to include both Germany and the U.S. ADS-TEC Energy plans invest $8 million and create approximately 180 jobs in the coming years associated with the new site, which will facilitate the expansion of e-vehicle charging infrastructure in the U.S. With its ChargeBox and ChargePost systems, ADS-TEC has developed powerful, reliable technologies with an optimal long-term total cost of ownership (TCO). Both systems can be installed quickly and easily—connected to the existing, limited-power electrical grid, without requiring any expansion of the network—and offer the industry's highest rates of ultra-fast charging.

The company's latest ultra-fast charging solution, ChargePost, integrates two charging dispensers that combine power electronics, battery storage and air conditioning with up to two 75-inch displays in an extremely powerful, compact and quiet "all-in-one" system. ChargePost is available currently in Europe and will soon be available in the U.S.
