ChargePoint Express Grid, powered by Eaton, delivers up to 600kW of power for passenger EVs and can provide megawatt charging for heavy-duty commercial applications.
The charging speed of 600kW will charge an electric passenger vehicle with an 80kWh battery in as little as 10 minutes (subject to the charging speed of the EV).
ChargePoint Express Grid is also set up for commercial vehicle Megawatt charging and can be specified up to 3.75mW/3700kW.
The architecture supports bi-directional charging (V2G) – although this isn’t likely to be used for EV drivers needing a rapid charge. The integration of ChargePoint’s Express chargers with Eaton’s end-to-end electrical solutions delivers a solution to overcome grid constraints, addressing the challenge of how to cost-effectively scale charging for the growing number of EVs. By leveraging Eaton’s Everything as a Grid approach and integrated vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities, the system can synchronise onsite renewables, energy storage and vehicle batteries with local energy markets to help fleets significantly reduce fuelling costs. When deployed at scale with participating utilities, the joint architecture can help balance the electricity grid.
The ChargePoint Express Grid, powered by Eaton architecture, is more than 30% more powerful, has a 30% smaller footprint, 30% less capex, and 30% less ongoing operating expenses than any other DC charging line on the market. In addition, it’s fully scalable with the possibility to add additional 600kW chargers to the architecture
Eaton will custom engineer each Express configuration with comprehensive power infrastructure delivered site-ready with the option of a skid-mounted solution to expedite installation, reduce equipment requirements, and simplify connection to the grid and distributed energy resources (DERs). Eaton also plans to commercialise solid-state transformer technology in the next year through its recent acquisition of Resilient Power Systems Inc. to support DC applications in the EV market and beyond.
