i-charging Launches Scalable 1.6 MW Charging Unit
EV charging infrastructure provider i-charging has introduced MAX, a new 1.6 MW modular charging power unit designed to offer flexibility and scalability for operators managing electric vehicle charging sites.
Adapting to Evolving Needs
The MAX unit is engineered to integrate with i-charging’s existing user interface systems, supporting a wide range of installations from mixed urban fleets to large-scale public charging locations. This modular design addresses the challenges faced by operators who require upfront decision-making on power capacity, charging standards, and configurations for their charging infrastructure.
Designed for Growth, Not Constraint
Pedro Silva, CEO of i-charging, highlighted the market’s need for adaptable solutions. “We’ve been listening to operators describe this challenge,” Silva stated. “They need infrastructure today, but their business will evolve. Fleet composition changes. New vehicle technologies will emerge. MAX was designed around a simple principle: your infrastructure should grow with your operation, not constrain it.”
Expandable Power and Standards
MAX’s modular architecture allows operators to deploy current capacity needs and scale up to 1.6 MW as demand increases. Power levels can be expanded in 50 kW increments without requiring replacement of core components. The system also allows for the addition of new outputs, the mixing of different charging standards, and changes to user interface configurations.
Broad Connector and Future-Proofing Support
Currently, the MAX unit supports CCS, NACS, and GB/T connectors. It is also designed to accommodate the emerging MCS standard as it is adopted by heavy-duty vehicles. For public transport operations, the system can integrate pantograph charging solutions for electric buses.
Intelligent Power Distribution
The MAX system features i-charging’s dynamic power allocation technology. This technology intelligently distributes the 1.6 MW of power across up to eight vehicles simultaneously, optimizing charging based on real-time demand.
Availability
The first contracted deliveries of the i-charging MAX units are scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2026.
