That's Dallas

An exciting connection for EV charging infrastructure

XCharge North America announced its role as the charging infrastructure provider behind a public safety initiative at Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) August 13.

XCharge is the Kyle, Texas-based North American subsidiary of XCHG Limited and a provider of high-power EV charging and battery-integrated solutions designed to strengthen the North American electrical grid.

Partnering with Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR), XCharge NA reportedly deployed its ultra-fast C7 charging unit to power the airport's Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 Electric, the world's first fully electric Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle.

XCharge NA's C7AM unit delivers 400 kW of output through advanced liquid-cooled cables, engineered to support the long-duration, high-speed charging cycles the Panther needs to stay mission-ready to protect DAL’s almost 18 million passengers annually. The relationship between Dallas Fire-Rescue and XCharge NA grew out of DFR's rigorous operational standards for adopting heavy-duty electric apparatus.

“Dallas Fire-Rescue has always embraced innovation that enhances our ability to serve the community to our highest ability,” said Chief of Dallas Fire-Rescue, Justin Ball. “XCharge has provided a charging solution that not only supports our efforts to introduce the next generation of airport firefighting technology, but also ensures we are prepared to respond quickly and safely when duty calls.”
