Rapid charging stations

SINGAPORE, August 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Graphion Energy Solutions, operating in Lao PDR under its local brand Ewave Lao, announces the world’s first electric motorcycles with rapid 10- to 30-minute charging capabilities, supported by a nationwide charging infrastructure. This initiative advances Lao PDR’s clean-air and energy-transition goals by retrofitting existing gasoline motorcycles and delivering affordable, low-emission mobility.

Key highlights
Rapid charging electric motorcycles designed for Lao conditions: 10–30 minute battery charging enables swift transitions from gasoline to electric mobility.
Retrofit program for gasoline motorcycles: Conversion starting at USD 700 (about 15 million KIP), with free charging included.
New electric motorcycles: Starting at USD 1,400 (about 30 million KIP) with a 5-year battery warranty and 24/7 in-home service.
Nationwide charging network: Deployment of rapid charging stations across Vientiane with plans for nationwide expansion.
Performance and range: Motor power 3,000–8,000 watts; top speeds 80–100 km/h; range up to 80 km per charge for retrofits and up to 170 km per charge for select models.
Economic and environmental impact: Estimated savings of roughly 1 million KIP per month on gasoline for the average user; significant reductions in noise and air pollution.
Local job creation and knowledge transfer: Technology transfer, local manufacturing, and capacity-building to support employment growth.
Regional expansion: Contract wins with the Philippines’ Bataan province to install similar systems; pilot trials with Bangkok police department planned for September.
