DockChain completes testing for ETL certification to UL 2202

Go Eve’s DockChain has completed all the testing with Intertek for certification by ETL to the UL 2202 standard. High-powered daisy-chaining DC charging is now ready for deployment at scale in North America.

Big news from us: our DockChain EV charging system has completed all the testing with Intertek and with ETL for certification by ETL to the UL 2202 standard. This is a key step forward in our market progress in North America.

Reaching this milestone wasn't easy. Navigating the North American certification landscape — especially for a brand-new approach to EV charging — was a learning curve for the Go Eve team. Working with Intertek and their ETL certification process has been a real pleasure and we have now completed the final testing for ETL certification to the UL 2202 standard.

The UL 2202 standard, designed for DC fast charging equipment, sets a high bar for safety - as do all UL standards. Operating safely must always be central and Intertek's support was vital in helping work through the process.

“We knew getting DockChain certified in North America as well as in Europe would be a major undertaking, and it absolutely was,” said Hugh Sheehy, CEO. "While the fundamental principles and underlying requirements are essentially the same, the North American approach to certification is quite different to the one in Europe. Our engineers put in an incredible effort to understand and meet the requirements, often adapting product designs, component supplies, and repeating testing processes so that we could align our product with the requirements of the North American market. Successfully completing all the testing is a testament to their creativity, persistence, and technical expertise."

Go Eve would also like to thank Intertek, the certification partner who worked with the team throughout the rigorous testing process, and all their engineers.

Now that DockChain has been tested and shown to be compliant with the UL 2202 standard, ETL certification (which should be visible online shortly) will clear the way for deployment at scale across North America, giving fleet operators, property owners, and developers a smarter, a more cost-effective option for delivering high-powered DC charging at scale.

Instead of installing multiple expensive chargers, DockChain allows multiple EVs to connect to a single power source in a daisy-chain — making high-volume charging cheaper, faster, and easier.

As the world shifts towards electric vehicles, scalable solutions like DockChain will be key to making EV adoption practical for businesses and communities. Go Eve's certified product is a generation 2 design and now available in stock from distribution partners for the US and Canada.
