Automated On-Route Charging

Some bus routes exceed the range of a single charge and require quick top-ups during operation. Our opportunity charging solution delivers an automated, high-power charge via rooftop connection, enabled by a vehicle-mounted or inverted pantograph system. 

Pantograph-Down System

The panto-down is ideal for bus fleets requiring continuous high-power charging. This charger-mounted pantograph automatically lowers onto roof-mounted contact rails, enabling quick, hands-free charging compatible with diverse bus models.

Pantograph-Up System

The panto-up follows the OppCharge protocol, enabling fully automated fast-charging by raising the vehicle-mounted pantograph to connect with an overhead charging mast. This setup integrates seamlessly into daily operations, supporting quick charge cycles.
