U.S. Customs and Border Protection to use Verdek chargers for Ford F150 Lightnings

This mobile, fully off-grid charging station is complete with dual ports, Verdek said, and is powered by renewable energy.

US Customs and Border Protection (US CBP) has selected Verdek’s EV Oasis Off-Grid DC Fast Charging Solutions to charge its Ford F150 Lightnings that monitor the southern borders of New Mexico and Arizona. This mobile, fully off-grid charging station is complete with dual ports, Verdek said, and is powered by renewable energy. The company said this charging solution provides accessibility to EV drivers where grid connectivity is scarce. Its design for rapid deployment allows it to bypass the complex processes associated with extensive infrastructure upgrades, permitting and civil works.

Key attributes of the EV Oasis include fast charging speeds, compatibility across various EV models, and a sturdy off-grid power system, Verdek said.

“Our goal is to make clean energy accessible to everyone, everywhere,” Guy Mannino, CEO of Verdek said. “The introduction of Verdek EV Oasis is a major step forward in our commitment to crafting a sustainable transportation future.”

Gravity has released a new universal on-street mounting and cable system, dubbed "DEAP Trees," for its 200kW and 500kW Distributed Energy Access Points (DEAPs). Gravity said it is striving to develop a network of on-street DEAP charging more expansive than Tesla's current Supercharger network.

Gravity's engineers, in collaboration with design firm Rangr Studio, took on the challenge of solving frictions in curbside charging today. Each Gravity universal DEAP Tree has a hinged swing arm holding a cable that pivots down when charging begins, allowing it to reach the port of every make and model. When charging is completed, the arm raises automatically and the EV connector latches back onto the pole and out of sight.
