With HPC, we are revolutionizing fast charging technology. Learn more about how this technology works.
Until now, charging currents of up to 200 A were technically possible with the Combined Charging System (CCS). Significantly higher currents are necessary, however, to achieve very short charging times. Conventional charging technology would result in dangerous overheating or would require larger, cumbersome cable diameters.
Our intelligent HPC technology is therefore based on an active cooling system that makes charging currents of up to 500 A possible – without compromising on safety or manageability.
According to the VDE-AR-E 2623-5-3 Guideline and standard IEC TS 62196-3-1, charging connectors and charging cables must not exceed a temperature that is 50 K higher than the ambient air temperature during the charging process (ΔTmax = 50 K).
In order to comply with this, multiple temperature sensors integrated in the HPC system measure the heat produced directly at the charging connector power contacts, and also in the charging cable in real time.
A controller evaluates the data acquired and regulates the cooling output accordingly. This reliably prevents overheating in compliance with standards and, at the same time, increases energy efficiency.
