Lincoln Electric, long synonymous with welders and industrial power tools, has unveiled its first dedicated DC Fast Charging solution. The Velion 50kW represents Lincoln Electric’s move into DC Fast Charging, leveraging its decades of experience in power electronics to serve fleets, repair shops, job sites and emergency-response teams.

Product Overview: Velion 50kW Key Features

  • Scalable Output: Choose 12.5 kW, 25 kW or the full 50 kW of DC Fast Charging.

  • Connector Flexibility: Equipped for both CCS1 and NACS plugs.

  • Mobility: Ground-mounted, wheeled or housed in a rugged roll cage—no concrete pad required.

  • Built in the U.S.: Designed, engineered and assembled stateside with over 70 % domestic content, meeting NEVI and Build America, Buy America standards.

  • Reliability Focus: Epoxy-coated circuit boards, weather-resistant components and smart diagnostics for remote monitoring.

  • Support: Three-year warranty backed by Lincoln Electric’s nationwide service network.

Who Should Consider the Velion 50kW?

  • Construction and Job Sites
    Keep crew trucks topped up between shifts without pouring slab. Roll the Velion from zone to zone and plug into existing three-phase power.

  • Repair Shops & Dealerships
    Offer customers a DC Fast Charging option in the service bay without trenching or permanent installation.

  • Small Fleets & Contractors
    Stage a charger at different locations rather than build individual stations at each yard.

  • Events & Emergency Response
    Provide temporary charging during community events or power outages—then move on when the job is done.

An Option GM Dealers?

In theory, GM dealerships can deploy the Velion 50kW to support their growing lineup of electric trucks and SUVs, everything from the HUMMER EV and Silverado EV to the Equinox EV and Blazer EV. Instead of dedicating permanent charging islands,which can cost upwards of $250,000,  service departments can wheel the Velion into a bay when an EV arrives, top off a customer’s vehicle during routine maintenance, and then roll it away to free up space. This keeps service lanes moving and gives customers a taste of DC Fast Charging without the dealer committing to expensive concrete and trench work.

Power Requirements & Installation Realities

Don’t mistake the Velion for a garage gadget. It demands roughly 440 V three-phase service (or a suitably sized generator) and a qualified electrician to handle hookups. If your building still runs single-phase, plan for a service upgrade or generator deployment. While Lincoln touts “plug-and-play,” permits and electric-service checks are still your responsibility.

Benefits & Limitations

  • Faster Than Level 2: At 50 kW, expect 50–75 miles of range added in 30 minutes, depending on vehicle efficiency.

  • Not a Highway Pit Stop: For true rapid fills (150–350 kW), highway-grade chargers remain king.

  • Flexible Deployment: No slab, no permanent permits in many cases, just wheel it where you need it.

  • Site Prep Needed: Heavy-duty power, permits and proper cable management still apply.

Why It Matters
Lincoln Electric’s foray into DC Fast Charging signals that mainstream industrial brands see electric fleets as core to their future. The Velion 50kW blends familiar industrial durability with EV charging needs, giving blue-collar operations a mobile, American-engineered option that doesn’t require a concrete island.
