Epyon is a Dutch company that produces fast-chargers for electric vehicles. Epyon opened Europe’s first commercial fast-charging station in May 2010 in the Netherlands. The system can deliver 50 kilowatts of power to charge a nine-person taxi van in 30 minutes.〔(Holland to Have Europe’s First Commercial EV Charging Station in Leeuwarden (Preparing for LEAF?) | Electric Vehicles )〕〔(Epyon Unveils Fast Charger for Electric Vehicles During Nissan LEAF Tour in Amsterdam—Autoblog Green )〕〔(Epyon: News )〕 Epyon’s system offers the ability to charge multiple vehicles at the same time, remote configuration, and an Internet-based system that lets Dutch utility Essent bill customers for use. The Netherlands-based station will be used to charge two nine-person taxi van EVs from local taxi company Kijlstra.〔(Epyon Opens Europe's First Commercial Fast-Charging EV Station | Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World ) , Inhabitat〕 Epyon's charge stations are compliant with the CHAdeMO standard, which is used by the Nissan Leaf and the Mitsubishi i MiEV. Epyon's charging station can provide an 80 percent charge for the Leaf's 24-kWh battery pack in about 30 minutes. 〔(Epyon Unveils Fast Charger for Electric Vehicles During Nissan LEAF Tour in Amsterdam—Autoblog Green ) - autoblog.com〕 ==History== Epyon started in 2006 based on advances of nanotechnology in batteries. The first product of Epyon was a 1-minute telephone charger called the FlashPack. The FlashPack had an internal battery〔(Epyon laadt elektrisch voertuig binnen kwartier op )〕 or super capacitor〔(TU Delta - Archief: Batterijen opgepast, de supercondensatoren vallen aan )〕 that could be charged in under a minute. Epyon abandoned the telephone market to serve the Electric Vehicle market before the FlashPack reached the stores.〔〔(Epyon B.V.: Private Company Information - BusinessWeek )〕 In October 2010 Epyon showed an AC/DC combined charging post together with Nissan at the Paris Motor Show.〔http://www.wallstreet-online.de/nachricht/3026716-epyon-introduces-first-electric-vehicle-ac-dc-combo-charge-post 〕 In November 2010 Lite-On announced it invested into Epyon.〔http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20101101PR201.html〕 Epyon raised 7 Million Euros in this investment round.〔(Epyon Raises EU7 Million in Equity to Scale up Its EV Fast-Charger Business )〕 On June 30, 2011 ABB has acquired Epyon. On May 20, 2014 Epyon was recognized as the Cleantech startup of the Decade. 〔http://www.sprout.nl/artikel/delfts-epyon-cleantech-startup-decade〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Epyon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
