The Aachen-based charging technology specialist Elexon announced a DC charging station with up to 480 kW output for the IAA TRANSPORTATION (September 19-25) in Hanover and aims to set new standards in the AC sector with a 43 kW station. Both will be presented at the so-called "Plug&Play-Campus." The company sees itself as an industry leader in the logistics sector and points to the new development.

"Our DC charging station with up to 480 kW charging power delivers a performance unique in the European market, and with our 43 kW AC charging station, we will solve the everyday problems of many customers, especially those in the logistics sector," promises Elexon-Managing-Director Marcus Scholz.

The DC charging station charges up to 480 kW, is planned to be scalable downwards, covering all current charging performances. It is also prepared for performance levels that manufacturers promise in the future, ensuring planning and investment security. The specific data:

  • Modularity of charging power from 80 kW – 480 kW
  • Individual customization: charging capacity, charging points, communication
  • 6 charging points at 3 terminals for cost-optimized charging infrastructure
  • Charging current of 500 amperes
  • Active cooling of the charging line and CCS charging connector
  • Wide battery voltage coverage

The counterpart to this can be seen in the 43 kW AC charging station, which is supposedly a perfect fit for overnight charging at truck stops, rest areas, and truck parking lots. It offers enough charging power to charge 400 km of range during overnight downtime. The provider specifically points to the price-performance ratio compared to a DC station. Additionally, significantly lower infrastructure costs are incurred, and the power grid is less stressed due to the lower charging power. The 43 kW station in detail:

  • Up to 43 kW AC charging power
  • Charging of large battery capacities
  • Utilize overnight downtimes
  • No blocking fee or overnight re-parking
  • No interruption of legally required rest periods
  • No high charging power needed: grid-friendly
  • Adaptable downwards (11 kW/22 kW)
  • Interesting alternative to the 22 kW station
  • Lower investment costs compared to DC stations
