AW Automotive and Man Truck & Bus’ Smart Charging Cube can supply enough electricity to recharge the beefy battery packs on electric big rigs.
The fairly innocuous-looking black box that reads “AW Man” you see above is a mobile charging cabinet that could potentially revolutionize EV charging.
Named the Smart Charging Cube, the relatively compact black box was built to temporarily live at job sites where big rigs can stop and top up.
The nomenclature printed on the side is product placement for the two companies (AW Automotive and Man Truck & Bus) that banded together for the project.
However, this amount of electricity is what’s needed to juice up the much beefier batteries found in electric big rigs.
