Robust, powerful CCS and AC charging inlets
Emission-free construction sites are increasingly being demanded by cities and municipalities. Battery-electric construction machinery and construction vehicles make this possible. E-vehicles are also being used increasingly in mines and tunnel construction. As the vehicle charging interface for charging these e-vehicles and e-construction machinery, we provide robust and durable CCS charging inlets for fast charging with up to 700 kW as well as AC charging inlets for overnight charging with up to 22 kW.
Advantages for construction machinery and construction vehicles
- Broad portfolio: GB/T, AC, and CCS vehicle charging inlets, with NACS charging inlets to follow. As an option, they are available with assembled cables and suitable vehicle charging controllers (EVCC).
- Ultra-fast HPC charging with a temporary power of up to 700 kW (700 A/1,000 V) with DC conductor cross-sections up to 120 mm²
- Protected against overheating with precise temperature measurement at the DC power contacts with Pt 1000 sensors
- Protected and sealed against water, dust, and dirt with high-level IP6K7 and IP6K5 degrees of protection, plus IP6K6K and IP6K9K on the front
- IATF 16949-certified automotive quality – compliant with IEC 62196-1, IEC 62196-2, IEC 62196-3, and SAE J1772
Protected and sealed against water, dust, and dirt Safely protected with the high IP degree of protection
The charging inlet has comprehensive IP6K7 and IP6K5 protection, tested in accordance with ISO 20653. Thanks to the high IP protection class, our CHARX connect universal vehicle charging inlets are perfectly protected against the ingress of dust, water, and dirt, even in a challenging environment such as on a construction site.
The contact area of the charging inlet also has IP6K6K and IP6K9K degrees of protection. This means that the construction machine or utility vehicle can be cleaned with a high-pressure or steam jet, even when the charging flap is open.
Overnight charging Battery-friendly charging with AC charging inlets
For battery-friendly over-night, slow charging of a construction vehicle or a construction machine, we offer type 1, type 2, and GB/T AC vehicle charging inlets and, in the future, NACS inlets with performance classes of 32 A and 80 A.

Fast charging during lunch breaks Fast charging with the HPC-compatible CCS charging inlets
We provide vehicle charging inlets with the Combined Charging System (CCS) to charge utility vehicles and construction machinery over a lunch break on a construction site, during tunnel construction, and mining work. These are available with DC cable cross-sections of 30, 70, 95, and 120 mm², and enable fast charging on the vehicle side in boost mode of 250, 500, and 700 kW (700 A / 1,000 V) as well as a continuous charging current of 125 A, 200 A, 250 A, and 375 A. CCS charging inlets with various cable lengths are available in our portfolio. Other lengths are available on request.
The Pt 1000 sensors on both DC cable contacts ensure efficient temperature measurement, thus enabling the reliable prevention of overheating.

Individually assembled CCS charging inlets The ready-to-install solution for electric vehicles
We are now offering the CHARX connect universal CCS type 2 charging inlets with assembled cable set for the first time. The ready-to-install charging inlets are available with common connectors from a single source, reducing your procurement and installation times as well as the overall costs.
- Time and cost savings thanks to the ready-to-install solution
- Charging power, connecting cable, and actuator voltage tailored to your requirements
- High Power Charging with up to 700 kW in Boost Mode
- Safe thanks to precise temperature measurement and high IP protection
- Developed and produced in accordance with the IATF 16949 automotive standard
CCS charging inlets with lateral cable outlet For space-saving and convenient mounting
The CHARX connect universal CCS type 2 charging inlets are now also available with a 90° cable outlet. This saves you valuable installation space in the vehicle. Thanks to the identical geometries, customers who switch to the 90° charging inlets do not have to alter the body cutout.
- Space savings of over 50% in terms of the installation depth compared to our CCS charging inlets with straight cable outlet
- More convenient and clearer installation of the cable harness
- Temperature hotspots avoided due to the larger bending radius
- Easy to make the switch, as all CCS charging inlets have the same screw-connection geometries
- IP6K6K/IP6K9K protection on the front withstands high-pressure and steam jet cleaning
Available from Q1 2026
Protective covers for CCS charging inlets Optimum protection for extreme conditions
The protective covers provide IPX5 protection for the contact area of our CHARX connect universal CCS charging inlets. This means that your electric utility vehicles are optimally equipped for demanding environmental conditions. A cancel button and an LED status display can be added as an option.
- Reliable protection of all signal and power contacts against jet water in accordance with IPX5
- Smart operation: when the DC cover is opened, the AC cover is automatically opened as well
- Optional extras: cancel charging button and charging status display with freely controllable RGB LED
- Easy design-in due to identical screw-connection geometries for CCS type 1 and CCS type 2
- Compatible with our CHARX control vehicle charging controller
Available from Q1 2026
Vehicle charging controller for CCS charging The EVCC for all types of electric vehicles
CHARX control vehicle enables DC fast charging via CCS charging inlets.
