Dover Fueling Solutions ("DFS"), a part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industries, announced the launch of the Wayne PWR™ DC fast charger (Wayne PWR). This new electric vehicle charger (EVC) addresses critical market gaps in reliability and durability while offering an unmatched customer experience.

Engineered with the same standards that have defined DFS's products for over 130 years, Wayne PWR features superior weather protection, vandal-proofing, UV and scratch resistance, and temperature reliability. These features help ensure that Wayne PWR remains operational in even the most extreme conditions.
