USA, Virginia, Roanoke: New lines in Troutville are to start production at end of October 2022, supporting EV infrastructure build-out across the USA.
Virginia Transformer hosted US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and US Senator Tim Kaine for a ribbon cutting on the construction of two new production lines at the Company’s Troutville facility which will support the buildout of America’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Virginia Transformer Corp. (VTC), the Roanoke-based manufacturer of power transformers, has recently entered the electric vehicle (EV) charging market with the launch of its Integrated Power Module E2V.
As part of the visit, Granholm, Kaine and Virginia Transformer CEO/CTO Prabhat K. Jain held a round table discussion on clean energy, the US electric grid, and EV charging infrastructure.
“As the largest US-owned power transformer manufacturer in North America, Virginia Transformer has a 50-year history of designing and building innovative solutions for flexible deployment that support the clean and renewable energy markets,” said Jain. “Our employees take great pride in our work rebuilding the US electric grid and ensuring reliable electric supply across the country. By 2030 it is estimated 48 million electric vehicles will be in use in the USA, supported by 30 million charging stations. With the industry’s shortest lead time and EV’s rapid deployment, the EV market is a natural fit for us to extend our technology leadership.”
More than a transformer, E2V is an integrated power solution that is a self-contained, plug-and-play power module. The uniqueness of E2V is the flexible configuration that enables users to build a scalable, integrated power module where they can be up and running faster than other options. E2V enables station operators to install the chargers to the E2V module which is connected to the power grid, allowing rapid deployment and reduced installation time.
Virginia Transformer’s E2V solution was designed and developed at its world headquarters in Roanoke by a team of engineers, product development leaders, and quality control experts.
