UON is proud to have officially launched the SMART™ DC-FC, the future of heavy-duty electric vehicle charging in Western Australia.
To date, mining companies, contractors, and fleet operators have faced a major barrier to electrification: the lack of reliable, fit-for-purpose charging infrastructure for remote and harsh environments. UON’s SMART™ DC-FC changes that.
Purpose-built, locally designed, and tested in the Pilbara for more than three years without a single failure, the DC-FC is ready to power the next generation of electric fleets across WA.
Why the DC-FC is a Game Changer
The mining and resources sector is under growing pressure to decarbonise while maintaining operational reliability. Traditional grid-tied charging solutions simply don’t cut it in WA’s remote and high-demand environments.
The UON SMART™ DC-FC was built with these challenges in mind. This solution:
- Delivers reliable, high-speed charging on mine sites, construction projects, and remote WA operations.
- Handles extreme ambient temperatures and dust levels, proven to operate in the harshest Pilbara conditions.
- Deploys quickly and scales with your fleet, ensuring you don’t need to over-invest upfront.
At the end of the day, the DC-FC doesn’t just provide charging – it guarantees energy certainty in the most demanding environments.
How It Works
The DC-FC is a self-contained, modular system that brings together energy storage, power distribution, and vehicle interface in one rugged package.
- Prefabricated and skid-mounted: Ready for rapid deployment and offering reduced onsite costs.
- CCS2-compatible: Supports heavy-duty electric vehicles and plant equipment.
- Liquid-cooled with zero derating up to 50°C: Built to keep operating at full performance, even in extreme heat.
- Flexible inputs: Works off-grid with solar and battery storage, or integrates with existing power supply and generators.
This combination makes the DC-FC one of the most versatile, practical, and powerful EV charging solutions available to the mining and resources sector today.
Key Benefits
- Heavy-Duty Fast Charging: Rapidly charges EVs, plant, and heavy equipment.
- Flexible Power Sources: Works on-grid, off-grid, or in grid-constrained environments.
- Built for WA Harsh Environments: Extreme heat, dust, cyclone-rated, and liquid-cooled with zero derating.
- Scalable Solution – Start small, expand as your operational needs grow.
- Accelerated Deployment – Prefabricated, wired, skid-mounted; deployed within 48 hours ex-factory.
- 24/7 Monitoring & Support – Local expertise with round-the-clock remote monitoring for maximum uptime.
Why It’s Part of the UON SMART™ Range
The DC-FC is the latest addition to the UON SMART™ range, sitting alongside our BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems), BMC (Battery Motor Controller), and GMC (Generator Motor Controller). Together, these systems form a complete, integrated energy pathway:
- Store and manage energy with the UON SMART™ BESS.
- Optimise efficiency and reduce fuel burn with the SMART™ BMC and GMC.
- Power your electrified fleet with the UON SMART™ DC-FC.
Offering a practical, modular, and scalable suite of solutions that help WA industries cut emissions, reduce costs, and move confidently towards net zero.
