LG Electronics will enter the U.S. electric vehicle charger market in 2024 with the introduction of its first line of AC and DC EV charging stations, according to a press release.
LG’s initial product line for the U.S. market will include Level 2 AC chargers with a load management solution and variable current settings enabling 11 kilowatts of output power through a standard SAE J1772 connector.
The Level 2 AC charger will be designed for wall mounting with an optional stand that enables placement.
Also planned for next year is LG’s first Level 3 DC charger, a stand-type model with a connected power bank that provides charging up to 175 kilowatts through CCS1 and NACS connectors. The Level 3 model will feature an outdoor LCD touchscreen display that can serve multiple functions for various owners and use cases.
The LG chargers will feature LG software to enable integration with other LG infrastructure elements including digital display networks. Some models may offer additional revenue opportunities through included digital displays that can present third-party advertisements.
