According to Tritium's announcement, the fast charging (DC) facility will be located in Lebanon, Tennessee, and employ 500 people over the next five years.

The facility was created to meet the needs of the US government and electrify transportation across America and beyond.

The Tritium Tennessee facility will initially manufacture the company's award-winning RTM fast charger, and is expected to start production on the PKM150 early next year.

This advanced DC fast charger is compatible with all EVs, compact, reliable, and cost-effective, and is expected to meet the requirements of the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to help reduce carbon emissions by approximately 40 percent by 2030.

"The opening of our factory in Tennessee is an important milestone for Tritium, for Tennessee, and most importantly, for American drivers. A total of 35 million electric vehicles are expected to be deployed by 2030 and those vehicles will require a more robust and convenient charging infrastructure," said Tritium CEO, Jane Hunter.

Next year, Tritium is expected to produce its best PKM150 charger. This charger marks a significant improvement in electric vehicle charging technology, giving customers flexibility when creating charging sites.

According to the description, customers can connect up to four PKM150 fast chargers to a single power cabinet. This will certainly save you money on equipment, installation, maintenance, and more.

The PKM150 will provide the flexibility that customers can choose to use between 100 kW or 150 kW dual cable charging station power depending on their business needs.
