Efacec has launched its new Charging Hub, a modular high-power electric vehicle (EV) charging system designed for fleet, heavy-duty, high-traffic, and destination charging applications.
Delivering up to 1.6 MW of power, the platform combines Efacec’s charging technology with medium-voltage equipment, automation, grid integration, and software in a single architecture.
Built around 800-kW Modular Power Units, the Charging Hub allows operators to configure and expand charging capacity according to the requirements of each site.
The system provides up to 16 dc charging outputs from a single hub and can be configured with single- or dual-connector dispenser kiosks.
Four Dispenser Kiosk configurations are available, with continuous current ratings of 2 x 250 A, 2 x 375 A, 2 x 500 A, or 1 x 700 A. A certified Active Boost Mode allows higher charging currents, and the platform is designed for future MCS deployment at 1,000 V.
Integrated charging infrastructure
The Charging Hub can also be delivered as a medium-voltage-to-dc system that combines medium-voltage infrastructure with the charging equipment, automation, and grid integration. Efacec also provides grid assessment and engineering for medium-voltage-to-dc installations up to 1.6 MW.
The platform works with Efacec’s EVCore software ecosystem, including EVCore CPMS, EVCore LMS, and the new EVCore Asset Management platform. The software provides charging infrastructure management, load optimization, and asset monitoring.
Specifications include:
- Power scalability in 40-kW increments
- Up to 16 dc charging outputs from a single hub
- Continuous charging currents from 250 to 700 A
- Future MCS operation at 1,000 V
- Medium-voltage-to-dc engineering up to 1.6 MW
Efacec developed the Charging Hub using its experience across EV charging, electrical infrastructure, grid integration, and energy management.
The project was supported by the Alliance for the Energy Transition and co-financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan through the European Union.
