Alpitronic has introduced the HYC1000, a megawatt charging station designed to meet the growing demands of heavy-duty electric vehicles.
Capable of delivering up to 1,000 kW, this new system supports both the CCS (Combined Charging System) and the MCS (Megawatt Charging System) standards, ensuring compatibility with next-generation electric trucks and buses.
With an energy efficiency rating of 97.5%, the HYC1000 aligns with Alpitronic’s existing range of high-performance chargers.
Modular Power System for Greater Flexibility
Unlike previous models, the HYC1000 features a decentralized power architecture. Instead of housing power modules inside the charging unit, up to eight 125 kW power stacks are placed in a separate enclosure. This allows for centralized power management, distributing energy among multiple charging stations in 62.5 kW increments.
The charging station supports two CCS connectors (up to 600 A) and one MCS connector (up to 1,500 A), making it a versatile solution for fleet operators and high-power applications.
Optimized for Large-Scale Charging Hubs
The HYC1000 can simultaneously power up to four charging units, enabling the charging of eight vehicles in parallel—even if the total power demand exceeds one megawatt. Alternatively, a single vehicle can utilize the full 1,000 kW output, significantly reducing downtime for high-mileage fleets.
The HYC1000 is set to launch in July, with pricing yet to be disclosed. Its introduction follows the successful upgrade of Alpitronic’s previous HYC150 and HYC300 models to HYC200 and HYC400, reflecting the company’s commitment to scalable and high-efficiency charging solutions.
“As we transition to an electrified future, charging infrastructure must evolve to accommodate diverse fleet needs and high-performance applications. This innovative system maximizes power efficiency and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for ultra-fast DC charging hubs,” states Philipp Senoner, CEO of Alpitronic.
With this latest innovation, Alpitronic aims to set new benchmarks in high-power charging, supporting the expansion of electric heavy-duty transport across Europe and beyond.
