Three Ways to Get 120kW On Site<\/h2>\n
Most buyer research treats “120kW charger” as a single category, but the power electronics that produce that output differ enough to change the entire procurement decision.<\/p>\n
Fixed 120kW chargers pull continuously from a permanent grid connection. Output is stable and duty cycle is effectively unlimited, but you need sufficient grid capacity at the point of installation and the civil works \u2014 trenching, conduit, foundation \u2014 to match.<\/p>\n
Diesel-generator mobile chargers solve the “no grid capacity” problem by bringing their own power source. They’re genuinely portable and can run continuously as long as fuel supply holds, but they carry fuel logistics, emissions, and noise considerations that a battery-based system doesn’t.<\/p>\n
Battery-storage mobile chargers \u2014 the category TREASURE’s Mobile EV Charging Robot Series belongs to \u2014 store energy from a grid connection during off-peak hours, then discharge at up to 120kW without any live connection at the point of use. Output is limited by onboard capacity rather than fuel supply or grid draw, which is the trade-off that matters most when comparing this option against the other two.<\/p>\n

A battery-storage unit configured at 150 kWh capacity and 120 kW output runs for roughly an hour of sustained full-power discharge before it needs its own recharge window \u2014 after accounting for round-trip losses, less than that in practice. That’s not a limitation against a diesel truck’s continuous runtime; it’s a different operating model, built around scheduled peak coverage rather than all-day service.<\/p>\n What “120kW” Means on TREASURE’s Mobile Robot Spec Sheet<\/h2>\nThe 120kW figure sits within De TREASURE<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>Mobile EV Charging Robot Series as one of four disclosed power tiers (40\/60\/80\/120kW), paired with a dedicated 150kWh capacity configuration on the manufacturer’s product page.<\/p>\n CCS remains the connector standard most fixed and mobile 120kW chargers converge on for this power class \u2014 CharIN’s Combined Charging System specification is the reference architecture behind that interoperability, regardless of whether the charger is stationary or battery-backed.<\/p>\n A fixed 120kW pile wins on sites with abundant grid capacity and predictable, high daily traffic \u2014 a highway corridor stop, a large fleet depot with an existing utility upgrade already in place. Sinking capital into trenching only pays off when the charger runs near capacity most of the day.<\/p>\n A diesel-generator mobile unit wins where continuous runtime matters more than emissions or fuel logistics \u2014 disaster response, construction sites with no timeline for grid access, locations where a battery unit’s hour-plus discharge window genuinely isn’t enough.<\/p>\n A battery-storage mobile robot wins the middle case: sites with peak demand windows short enough that an hour or two of 120kW output covers the surge, where trenching isn’t practical or worth the capital, and where zero on-site emissions matters for the location \u2014 a covered forecourt, an indoor depot bay, a site near residential development.<\/p>\n None of the three charger types compared here have publicly disclosed flat pricing, TREASURE’s mobile robot included. Pricing is provided on a project-by-project basis and depends on energy capacity, charging power, voltage architecture, connector standard, battery configuration, PCS selection, enclosure design, communication protocol, software integration, logistics, commissioning, and other project requirements.<\/p>\n A: Yes, but only for a limited duration \u2014 roughly an hour of sustained full-power discharge before the unit needs its own recharge cycle, less in practice once round-trip losses are factored in. It’s not designed for continuous all-day 120kW service the way a grid-connected fixed charger is.<\/p>\n A: It depends on the metric. A diesel unit can run continuously as long as fuel supply holds, which battery-storage units can’t match at full output. A battery unit has zero on-site emissions and no fuel logistics, which a diesel unit can’t match. Neither is universally “more reliable” \u2014 the right choice depends on runtime needs versus emissions and logistics constraints.<\/p>\n A: A battery-storage mobile charger needs a grid connection to recharge itself, but not at the point where it delivers power to a vehicle \u2014 that’s the core difference from a fixed pile. A diesel-generator mobile unit needs no grid connection at any point, relying on fuel instead.<\/p>\n |
