Lincoln Electric plans to start the production of the Velion system, which includes a 150kW power tower and a free-standing pedestal, in the fourth quarter of 2023. The first 150kW Velion DC fast charger surpasses 75% domestic content and can operate in temperatures ranging from -31 to 122 Fahrenheit. It is designed to have an uptime of more than 97% and an output of up to 1000V/150A and 500V/300A, with a charging efficiency of 95%.
The product is designed to provide dependable performance under a variety of operating conditions. It is supported by Lincoln Electric's nationwide multi-point service network.
The 150kW Velion DC fast charger is the first of numerous DC fast charging solutions that Lincoln Electric will launch. The company has increased its manufacturing capacity in Cleveland, OH, to 6,000 units per year.
Lincoln Electric is focused on product development. Its product launches are likely to aid growth. It reported record adjusted earnings of $2.44 per share in the second quarter of 2023, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.32. The bottom line increased 12% year over year.
Total revenues rose 9.4% year over year to a record $1,061 million. However, the top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,099 million. The improvement in revenues can be attributed to 4.5% growth in organic sales and 5.2% benefits from acquisitions. These gains were partly offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange of 0.2%.
