As the global EV market grows quickly, reliable charging infrastructure has become essential to the future of our cities. eTreego, a startup founded with guidance from the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), has been selected to the MIT Taiwan Gold Selection in 2026 for its BLADE AC EV charger. This follows its 2025 selection for the IRON high-power DC fast-charging series, earning recognition two years running.

Taiwan’s climate is hot and rainy, so durability and safety matter a great deal for charging equipment. BLADE was designed around exactly these challenges:

• IP55-rated enclosure: Dust- and water-resistant,
  suitable for outdoor and a wide range of other installation environments
• UV-resistant materials: Resist UV degradation from prolonged sun exposure.
• UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant materials: Lower the risk of fire and help keep charging safe.
• Front-access maintenance design: Technicians can open the unit and service it right at the pedestal, with no need to remove the whole charger. This saves significant time and effort.

Cloud-Connected Charging for Business Sites

For businesses and site operators, a charger has to do more than charge smoothly. It also has to be easy to manage. BLADE integrates with a cloud management system, giving users an end-to-end solution and a more complete charging experience:

• Remote visibility: See each charger’s usage, charging status, and power consumption in real time through the charging management system.
• Lower management costs: Reduce the need for on-site inspections and run operations more efficiently.
• Dynamic load management: When multiple chargers run at once, power is distributed precisely within the limited supply available.

Taiwan’s EV charging landscape faces two major bottlenecks: inconsistent standards and difficult installation. The IRON series answers both with a single, universal solution, deployed at department store parking lots, gas stations, and bus depots:

• Multi-standard connectors: Supports US, EU, and Japanese standards.
• Wide voltage range: Covers 80V to 800V.
• Diverse vehicle types: Light electric vehicles, passenger cars, buses, and even airport tow tractors.
• Three core strengths: High power, smart integration, and flexible deployment.

IRON combines a patented interactive charging management system, dynamic power modules, and an intelligent scheduling platform. The system automatically detects the vehicle type and delivers the most efficient charging, minimizing waste and preventing overload. The CCMS back end handles remote monitoring, payment management, and power scheduling. With electric buses, for example, charging can run automatically overnight so vehicles are ready to roll out at first light.

IRON was developed together with NeoPower Technologies and gochabar, who jointly built the smart charging management system. It won a Gold Award at APEC 2024 and a Silver Award at the Edison Awards, and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications selected it as a demonstration project for smart charging of electric buses.

Custom Solutions | Going Global

eTreego offers customization across the board, from industrial design and hardware development to cloud systems, all adjustable to your needs. Its partners already include well-known automakers and telecom companies, and in recent years the company has been actively expanding into Southeast Asia, Japan, and Europe. Beyond competitive pricing, a complete electronic components supply chain gives product development a strong foundation, and the quality and reliability that “Made in Taiwan” represents help build lasting relationships with customers.

“Our team comes from ITRI. Since this technology was built here in Taiwan, we want to keep it here and keep working with local partners to show the quality and R&D strength of Taiwanese manufacturing.”

——Wu Min-Chuan, Special Assistant, eTreego Inc.

“We’re not just making chargers. We want to build a green charging ecosystem that lives in harmony with the city, so the energy transition is not only faster but also better.”

——Chien Chin-Pin, General Manager, eTreego

From IRON DC fast charger in 2025 to BLADE AC charger in 2026, we hope to keep living up to the MIT label with real-world results, showing that Taiwan’s industry can build independent systems, integrate services, and export complete charging solutions worldwide.
