The Shyft Group debuts portable ‘Power Cube’ EV charging station

The Shyft Group has introduced the Blue Arc Power Cube, a fully portable remote-controlled charging station with onboard energy storage to serve a variety of needs for commercial vehicle fleets and other end uses.

The Power Cube is a mobile, customizable, commercial-grade EV charger that does not need to be connected to the grid, the company says. It also offers varying configurations to meet customers’ needs. It carries 3MW of onboard power and its Level 2 and fast-DC charging capabilities can have vehicles up and running in 1-2 hours, The Shyft Group says. The Power Cube is also supplemented with wind and solar power, including panels to track the sun for maximum exposure and charging.

The Blue Arc product ecosystem includes a commercial-grade EV chassis and the Blue Arc delivery van, a 100% battery-powered Class 3 electric commercial delivery vehicle designed for high-frequency, last-mile delivery fleets. With a high degree of configurability, the all-electric chassis is adaptable to last-mile delivery, work truck, mass transit, recreational vehicle and other emerging EV markets, the company says.
