Express DC Charger Series
Eaton and ChargePoint fully reimagined future-ready DC fast charging architecture engineered to solve the toughest challenges in high-power deployments. Designed for Canadian 600V distribution systems. The next generation of the ChargePoint Express architecture delivers high-power, scalable EV charging across standalone, distributed and paired deployments.
Express Solo
- 600VAC input architecture, enabling direct integration with existing industrial and commercial power systems, eliminating the need for 600/480VAC transformers, k-factor transformers, lowering installation costs and eliminating transformation harmonics common with DC installations in Canada
- Available in 200, 400 and 600 kW variants with continuous 800 A liquid-cooled cables
- Charges two vehicles simultaneously, or can pair two stations to charge four vehicles, delivering up to 750 kW to any port.
- Provides the highest power density, with up to 30% more kW per square metre compared to competitor products
Express Distro
- 600VAC input architecture, enabling direct integration with existing industrial and commercial power systems, eliminating the need for 600/480VAC transformers, k-factor transformers, lowering installation costs and eliminating transformation harmonics common with DC installations in Canada
- Each Power Block 2000 cabinet delivers up to 600 kW; combine up to three for a total of 1.8 MW with available MCS connector.
- Allows connection of up to six dispensers to a single Power Block 2000 to charge 12 vehicles simultaneously.
- Provides twice the power density of competing systems in a compact 2.3 m2 (7.5 ft2) per cabinet footprint.
Express Solo-Paired
- 600VAC input architecture, enabling direct integration with existing industrial and commercial power systems, eliminating the need for 600/480VAC transformers, k-factor transformers, lowering installation costs and eliminating transformation harmonics common with DC installations in Canada
- Express Solo doubles as a cabinet, allowing you to cost-effectively grow port count by adding up to three dual-port dispensers.
- Decrease upfront costs by up to 20% compared to distributed DC solutions.
- Delivers up to 600 kW across multiple ports to any vehicles with NACS or CCS ports, thanks to ChargePoint Omni Port.
Highlights:
- Significant CapEx hardware savings: Eliminating external 600V-to-480V step-down transformers saves approximately $30,000 to $50,000+ CAD per installation in equipment costs alone.
- Faster project deployment: Intermediate transformer lead times frequently stretch 6 to 12 months, and removing this component avoids a major supply chain bottleneck to energize sites much faster.
- Lower civil and site prep costs: Skipping an external transformer eliminates the need for extra concrete pads, safety clearances, and protective enclosures, preserving valuable customer parking spaces.
- Reduced wiring and conduit expenses: Operating at 600V draws 20% less current than a 480V system for identical power outputs, enabling smaller conductor gauges, smaller conduit runs, and lower-rated upstream breakers.
- Lower ongoing utility costs (OpEx): Bypassing an extra transformation stage eliminates continuous 1.5% to 3% core and coil energy losses, directly reducing monthly operating electricity costs.
- All-in-one compact footprint: Express Solo houses power conversion modules and dual dispensers inside a single cabinet, minimizing trenching while delivering scalable charging up to 600 kW.
- In conjunction with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) it can bypass the bidirectional inverter as the solo has DC to DC power modules. Allowing it to directly send energy from the bess to the vehicle.
Designed to maximise throughput and minimise cost, it helps commercial operators grow revenue and enables fleets to lower deployment and operating costs. Push the boundaries of standalone and distributed charging, extending innovation to the grid and beyond.
