Business Wire
ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), a leading provider of
networked charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), announced
today the first large scale deployment of its new Express Plus
Power Link 2000 DC fast charging platform. The Power Link system,
capable of delivering charging speeds up to 500kW, debuted today as
the charging hardware and software driving the fastest public
charging network in North America: Mercedes-Benz HPC NA.
“With the deployment of Express Plus Power Link 2000,
ChargePoint is setting a new standard by offering sustained, ultra
high speed charging for all EV drivers,” said Rick Wilmer, COO of
ChargePoint. “We congratulate Mercedes-Benz on the launch of their
HPC NA network, and we look forward to boosting the availability of
fast, reliable public DC charging on North American roads.”
Express Plus is a modular DC fast charging platform. The
architecture is based upon Power Blocks, which in turn house up to
five Power Modules to reach a desired charging specification. The
Power Blocks deliver power that can be dynamically shared amongst
Power Link charging stations, which are the actual units that plug
into a vehicle. Featuring liquid-cooled cables with hardware
designed and tested to deliver a reliable charging experience,
these stations can simultaneously charge two vehicles at one time,
at sustained high speeds of up to 500kW. Power Blocks intelligently
and dynamically allocate power based on what specific vehicles can
accommodate as they charge.
Offered under ChargePoint’s Express Plus architecture, the Power
Link 2000 station debuts with a number of critical features that
both EV drivers and site hosts have long been waiting for. Most
notable is the ability to charge two vehicles simultaneously at
very high speeds from the same charging station. Offering charging
speeds of up to 500kW – a rate even faster than current EVs are
capable of charging – Express Plus is designed to meet the charging
needs of both current and future EVs. Notably, Power Link 2000 uses
a proprietary cooling architecture to deliver these peak speeds for
sustained periods of time, meaning an EV driver can charge and go
without unexpected additional dwell times.
ChargePoint software combines with the Express Plus Power Link
2000 to enable a seamless driver experience. Long awaited features
making their debut include preferential charger access via a
reservation system, and automatic payment functionality via “Plug
& Charge.” While authentication via card, app or user interface
are possible, it is not required for drivers of vehicles that have
enabled these services.
