Green Watt Power, a division of Powerland Technology, has added four new base models to its Diamond Series of ruggedized, fully potted AC chargers, to support charging of lithium-ion batteries in EV applications such as material handling, motorcycles, scooters, forklifts, golf and e-carts and recreational vehicles.
The EVC2400 Diamond Series has universal AC input and four ultra-wide output ranges covering 28-59 V at 40 A, 36-74 V at 35 A, 43-84 V at 30 A and 71-156 V at 15 A.
The 2.4 kW charger has a universal input range of 90-264 VAC and can handle standard wall outlet voltages with a frequency range of 45 to 65 Hz. It includes a typical Power Factor Correction (PFC) of 0.98. It has a compact mechanical design with an IP67 waterproof rating and weighs 8.4 lbs or 3.8 kg.
A colored LED indicator shows the charger’s status and control is via CAN communication. The units have a full set of self-protection features including OVP, OCP, SCP, OTP, RPP and UVLO. The turn-on delay at full load is a maximum of five seconds.
The Diamond Series comes in on-board and off-board versions, with or without a handle, and in connector versions or flying lead versions. The units are designed for high-power density and thermal efficiency and include a fan that turns on at elevated temperatures.
The case temperature range is -40° C to +80° C, or +60° C with handle, and the storage range is -40° C to +85° C. The EVC2400 is designed to meet UL/CSA62368 and EN60335 safety standards.
Green Watt Power says it can modify the unit to meet each application’s requirements as needed.

Comer Industries has developed a new powertrain system for compact loaders.
The new system, which supports compact wheel loaders weighing up to 5 tons, includes a new electric module called the eMDI, which delivers power directly to the gearbox of the rigid compact axle. Within the gearbox, the rotational speed of the motor is reduced by a planetary drive unit and the rotary and torque motion is transferred to the front axle by a constant-velocity shaft.
Comer also showed off a planetary drive for electric excavators known as the WD300EX Series, an all-in-one integrated electric wheel drive designed for mini-excavators. The new planetary drive comprises a planetary gearbox and an interior permanent magnet motor. It is capable of delivering high torque to meet performance needs throughout the life of the machine.
The WD300EX is equipped with an electromagnetic negative brake that offers an electric, waterproof alternative to hydraulically-powered gearboxes, according to Comer.
Founded in 1970, Comer Industries is headquartered in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The company, which builds advanced engineering systems and mechatronic solutions for power transmission, has three divisions. Each division is devoted to a specific market segment: Agricultural Applications, Construction Equipment and Forestry, and Energy and Industrial.

Germany-based Daimler Buses, a segment of Daimler Truck, is introducing measures to extend the useful life of electric buses, including the remanufacturing of electric bus batteries and expansion of its product range in 2026 to include a latest-generation battery replacement with longer range.
The new services will be offered initially for the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro city bus; it will be equipped in 2026 with the significantly improved next-generation NMC4 lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt battery, which will be manufactured by BMZ Poland. The services may also be offered in the future for the Mercedes-Benz eIntouro intercity bus. This model is projected to be available in 2026 and will be equipped with the same lithium iron phosphate batteries as the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 long-haul truck.
Daimler’s battery maker is now remanufacturing first-generation NMC1 batteries, and in the future, the “reworked” range will be extended to NMC2 and NMC3 batteries. Starting in 2026, Daimler Buses will also replace previous generation NMC1 to NMC3 batteries—depending on the customer’s planned duration of use—with the latest NMC4 models, which offer increased capacity and range.
Remanufacturing and battery replacement will also apply to the new NMC4 generation for its used vehicle range in the BusStore. Customers can also purchase used e-buses with high battery capacity or the latest battery technology.
“Our first-generation Mercedes-Benz eCitaro buses are still in successful use today,” said Daimler Buses CEO Till Oberwörder. “The new e-services will help to ensure that this remains the case for many years to come.”

Hypercharge, a Canadian EV charging equipment provider and network operator, has delivered 500 Level 2 charging stations to the 28-acre Oakridge Park redevelopment project in Vancouver, BC.
The property includes a mix of residential, retail, office and community spaces. The project is being co-developed by QuadReal Property Group and Westbank. Toronto-based parking services company Precise ParkLink will manage Oakridge Park’s parking lot operations.
Hypercharge’s installation, which will integrate with Eevion, the company’s proprietary charging platform, comprises 300 wall-mounted single-port Level 2 chargers deployed throughout the property and 200 overhead single-port Level 2 chargers designed to serve the project’s high-density valet parking facilities.
“With a unique parking model, the project demands a smart, space-saving charging setup that maximizes efficiency while maintaining seamless accessibility,” said Hypercharge President and CEO David Bibby. “To solve this, Hypercharge’s mix of overhead and wall-mounted stations optimizes every inch of available space, while Eevion seamlessly integrates with Oakridge Park’s integrated building management platform for real-time monitoring and smart management.”
