High-power DC fast charging for highway plazas and long-distance travel corridors.

DC fast charging for short stops and long corridors.

Highway charging has a different job to do than home or workplace charging: drivers are passing through, not parking for hours, so the priority is getting a meaningful range top-up in the time it takes for a short break. This is where our DC fast charging hardware is intended to be used — high-power units built for short dwell times at fuel plazas, highway rest stops and travel corridors.

Sites in this category tend to have their own considerations: available grid capacity at the location, whether backup or renewable generation is part of the plan, and how charging bays fit alongside existing fuel and food/beverage operations at the plaza. Our commercial DC range is designed with these deployments in mind, though the exact configuration for a given site depends on grid connection capacity confirmed during a feasibility study.

If you operate or are planning a highway plaza and want to explore DC fast charging, we recommend starting with a feasibility conversation covering your available power connection before finalising a hardware plan.

Why Lightning

Built for how this site actually works

Built for quick top-ups

High-power DC for the time it takes to grab a meal or stretch.

Plaza-aware siting

Plan bays around fuel, F&B and circulation — not as an afterthought pad.

Grid-first feasibility

Confirm connection capacity before locking hardware configuration.

Corridor reliability

Remote monitoring keeps highway assets visible between site visits.

How it works

From first conversation to live charging

  1. 1

    Feasibility call

    Review location, grid connection and plaza operations.

  2. 2

    Power study

    Confirm available capacity and any reinforcement needs.

  3. 3

    Deploy DC bays

    Install, commission and integrate with plaza wayfinding.

  4. 4

    Operate the corridor

    Monitor uptime and plan neighbouring sites as demand grows.

Recommended hardware

What we typically deploy here

Ideal for

Where this solution fits best

Every site is different — these are the patterns we see most often for this vertical.

Fuel plazas

Add EV bays beside existing fuel and convenience ops.

Highway rest stops

Short-break charging for intercity drivers.

Corridor networks

Multiple sites planned as a reliable travel route.

Common questions

Drivers aren’t parked for hours. DC is sized for meaningful range in a short break.
