I-Charging Secures Intertek ETL Certification for i-Light 1.5 MW Charger
The certification clears the charger for commercial deployment in US and Canadian markets serving medium- and heavy-duty EVs.
i-charging has received Intertek ETL certification for its i-light charger, removing a key regulatory barrier to deploying the high-power DC charging equipment in the United States and Canada.
What Happened
The Atlanta- and Portugal-based company announced that its i-light charger achieved ETL certification from Intertek, confirming compliance with UL 2202, UL 2231, and CSA C22.2#346 electrical safety standards required for high-power DC charging equipment. The i-light is designed for medium and heavy-duty EVs, delivering up to 1.5 MW per output using the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) or up to 800 kW using CCS. The unit features a 10-inch touchscreen user interface and an optional 37-inch transparent display visible from the driver's seat.
Why It Matters
ETL certification is required for electrical equipment to be legally installed and operated in US and Canadian commercial environments. For fleet operators running medium- and heavy-duty EVs, this certification removes a key deployment barrier, confirming that i-light has been independently tested for electrical safety before reaching the field. The charger supports both existing CCS infrastructure and the maturing MCS standard.
The Bottom Line
"ETL certification is a decisive step in bringing i-light to North America," said Jeff Cohen, CEO of i-charging USA. The company had already secured certifications across its product range prior to this milestone for the i-light charger.
