ETL certification gives Kempower authorization to produce and ship complete charging stations from our new facility, opening a door for large-scale mass production and distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ETL Listed Marking is a certified indicator to customers, including but not limited to retailers and distributors, that Kempower\u2019s long-awaited satellites have been tested by Intertek and found to be in compliance with accepted national standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This clearly cements Kempower DC fast-charging satellites as a top choice for chargers.
