60kW 120kW CCS2 DC Fast Charger Station CE Certified for Europe
Powering the Green Continent: MIDA’s 60kW and 120kW CCS2 Solutions
Europe is the global engine of the electric vehicle revolution. Driven by the ambitious “Fit for 55″ legislative package and the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), the continent is rapidly expanding its network of high-speed charging points. In the heart of this transition is the CCS2 (Combined Charging System Type 2) standard, the universal interface for everything from compact city cars in Paris to long-haul electric vans in Berlin. To meet the specific demands of the European market—where reliability, space efficiency, and stringent safety certifications are non-negotiable—MIDA Power (迈依达) has introduced its flagship 60kW and 120kW CCS2 DC Fast Charger series.
Our CE-certified stations are engineered to be the backbone of European urban and inter-city infrastructure. Whether it is a “top-up” charge at a suburban supermarket or a fast session at a highway service plaza, the MIDA 60kW/120kW series provides the perfect balance of speed and cost-effectiveness. With native CCS2 support and full compliance with European electrical standards, MIDA Power is empowering European businesses and municipalities to lead the charge toward a sustainable future.
Market and Policy Context: AFIR and the European Charging Mandate
The European Union has set a clear course for the future of mobility: by 2035, all new cars and vans sold in the EU must be zero-emission. To support this, the AFIR regulation mandates the deployment of fast-charging infrastructure every 60 kilometers along major European highway corridors (the TEN-T network). However, the need for fast charging extends far beyond the motorways. Urban centers require high-density charging hubs to serve residents without home charging, ride-share fleets, and urban delivery vehicles.
MIDA Power’s 60kW and 120kW stations are specifically positioned to fill this urban and “destination” charging gap. While 350kW ultra-fast chargers are essential for highways, they are often overkill—and too expensive—for retail locations or office parks. The 60kW and 120kW range represents the “economic sweet spot” for European operators. They offer a significant speed advantage over AC charging while maintaining a smaller footprint and lower installation costs.
Furthermore, our CE certification is more than just a label; it is a passport to the European market. It signifies that MIDA hardware meets the continent’s rigorous standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), electrical safety, and environmental protection. For European developers, choosing MIDA means choosing a partner that understands the legal and technical nuances of the EU market.
Product Technical Deep-Dive: European Excellence in Every Kilowatt
The MIDA 60kW/120kW CCS2 station is a masterpiece of compact, high-efficiency engineering, designed to thrive in the diverse climates and demanding environments of the European continent.
Modular Power Core and 95%+ Efficiency
Like all MIDA flagship products, the 60kW and 120kW stations utilize a modular power architecture. The 60kW unit is powered by two of our 30kW high-efficiency modules, while the 120kW version uses four. These modules utilize advanced Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology, allowing for a peak efficiency of over 95.5%. For a European operator, this translates to lower thermal losses and significant energy savings over the lifetime of the station. The modular design also ensures “soft-failure” resilience: if one module requires service, the station continues to operate at 50% or 75% capacity, maintaining service for the driver.
CCS2 Native Communication and 1000V Support
The stations are natively equipped with CCS2 connectors, supporting the full DIN 70121 and ISO 15118 protocols. Our controllers support a wide output voltage range from 200V to 1000V DC. This is particularly important in the European market, where 800V vehicles like the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT are common. MIDA’s intelligent power electronics automatically detect the vehicle’s battery voltage and deliver the optimal charging current, ensuring a fast and safe session for every car that plugs in.
Compact Cabinet for Urban Environments
European cities are often characterized by tight spaces and historical architecture. MIDA Power has designed the 60kW/120kW cabinet to have one of the smallest footprints in its class. With a depth of just 600mm, these units can be easily installed on narrow sidewalks or in crowded underground parking garages. The cabinet is constructed from high-grade galvanized steel with a multi-layer anti-corrosion coating, earning an IP54 rating that protects against the rain and salt spray common in Northern and coastal Europe.
Advanced User Interface and Payment Integration
European drivers demand a premium, frictionless experience. The MIDA station features a 7-inch or 10-inch high-contrast touchscreen that supports all major European languages. We have integrated payment terminals that are fully compliant with European banking standards (PCI-DSS), supporting tap-to-pay for credit/debit cards, RFID loyalty cards, and mobile apps via the OCPP 1.6J or 2.0.1 protocol.
Standards and Certifications: The MIDA Quality Guarantee for Europe
Compliance is the foundation of trust in the European energy sector. MIDA Power (迈依达) has invested heavily in ensuring our CCS2 series meets the most stringent regulatory requirements across the continent.
CE and TUV Certification
Every 60kW and 120kW station in this series is fully CE certified, meaning it complies with the Essential Requirements of the European Economic Area (EEA). This includes the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, and the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) for our wireless communication modules. We also work closely with TUV Rheinland to perform independent safety audits, ensuring that our insulation monitoring and ground fault protection systems are second to none.
OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1: The Language of European Networks
The European charging market is highly fragmented, with hundreds of different Charge Point Operators (CPOs). To ensure interoperability, MIDA Power supports the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). While 1.6J is the current industry standard, our 120kW units are “2.0.1 Ready.” This newer protocol provides enhanced cybersecurity, improved device management, and better support for smart charging—critical for operators who want to participate in the European “Virtual Power Plant” (VPP) markets.
ISO 15118 and Plug & Charge
European luxury brands are increasingly adopting “Plug & Charge” via the ISO 15118 standard. MIDA Power’s hardware is equipped with the necessary secure-element chips and communication stacks to support this feature. When a driver plugs a compatible vehicle into a MIDA station, the handshake is handled automatically, eliminating the need for RFID cards or apps and providing a truly premium user experience.
Application Scenarios: Versatility in the European Context
The 60kW and 120kW CCS2 stations are designed for high-turnover environments where space is at a premium and reliability is essential.
Urban Charging Hubs and Curbside Deployment
As city centers become “Low Emission Zones,” the need for fast, curbside charging for residents is exploding. The compact, vertical design of the MIDA 60kW station makes it ideal for installation on city streets. It provides enough power to charge a typical European hatchback (like a VW ID.3 or Renault Zoe) in under an hour, making it a viable alternative for residents who cannot charge at home.
Supermarkets and Retail Centers
Retailers across Europe are discovering that EV charging is a powerful customer draw. A 60kW charger provides a meaningful “top-up” during a 45-minute grocery shop, while a 120kW unit can almost fully charge a vehicle in that same window. MIDA Power’s stations offer customizable branding, allowing European retailers to wrap the chargers in their own corporate colors and logos.
Corporate Fleet and Office Parks
European companies are rapidly electrifying their corporate fleets to meet ESG goals. MIDA’s 120kW Dual-Gun stations are the perfect solution for office parking lots. They can serve two vehicles at 60kW each, providing a reliable charge during the workday while using smart load management to ensure the building’s total power limit is never exceeded.
Logistics and Last-Mile Delivery
The rise of e-commerce has led to a surge in electric delivery vans. These vehicles need to be charged quickly between shifts. MIDA’s 120kW stations, placed at urban logistics depots, provide the fast turnaround needed to keep delivery schedules on track.
Deep-Dive Case Study: Empowering the Bavarian “Green Mile”
To see MIDA Power’s technology in action, let us examine an illustrative project in Southern Germany.
The Objective
A regional energy provider in Bavaria, “Bayerische Energie,” wanted to install a network of twenty DC fast chargers at various highway rest stops and municipal parking lots. The goal was to provide reliable charging for tourists heading to the Alps, as well as local commuters. The client required hardware that was easy to maintain and could handle the extreme snow and cold of the Bavarian winter.
The MIDA Solution
MIDA Power provided a mix of 60kW and 120kW CCS2 stations. We utilized our “Extreme Weather” package, which includes internal heaters to prevent condensation and a specialized low-temperature touchscreen. The units were integrated into the client’s existing backend via OCPP 1.6J.
Results and Impact
The “Green Mile” project has been a significant success. Even during a record-breaking cold snap in late 2024, the MIDA stations maintained a 99.8% uptime. The energy provider reported that the 120kW units were the most popular, with an average of 15 sessions per day per unit. The client particularly praised the “Remote Diagnostic” features of the MIDA platform, which allowed them to resolve 80% of minor software issues from their central office in Munich, saving thousands of Euros in technician travel costs.
Expert Commentary: The Future of the European Energy Landscape
“Europe is at a unique point in its energy history,” says Dr. Zhang, Technical Director at MIDA Power (迈依达). “The move to EVs is not just about transportation; it’s about grid resilience. When we designed the 60kW and 120kW CCS2 series, we weren’t just thinking about the car; we were thinking about the transformer.
Our European customers are increasingly interested in ‘Smart Charging’ and ‘Dynamic Load Balancing.’ This is why we have made our controllers so powerful. A MIDA station can talk to the building’s energy management system and the local grid operator in real-time. If the grid is under stress, the charger can slightly derate its output to help prevent a blackout, and then ramp back up when the pressure is off. This ‘Grid-Aware’ charging is the future of Europe, and MIDA Power is proud to be leading the way with our CE-certified hardware.”
Future Outlook: V2G, AI, and the Hydrogen-Electric Mix
As Europe looks toward 2030 and beyond, the charging landscape will continue to evolve.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) in Europe
While V2G has traditionally been associated with CHAdeMO, the CCS2 standard is rapidly catching up with the implementation of ISO 15118-20. MIDA Power is already testing bi-directional CCS2 units that will allow European homeowners and business owners to use their EV batteries to power their homes during high-price peak hours.
AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance
The next generation of MIDA stations will feature integrated AI agents. These agents will monitor the “health” of the power modules 24/7, using predictive algorithms to identify when a fan bearing might be wearing out or when a power module’s efficiency is starting to dip. This will move us from “preventative” maintenance to “predictive” maintenance, virtually eliminating unplanned downtime.
Integrating with Renewable Microgrids
We are seeing a surge in “Off-Grid” or “Hybrid” charging hubs in rural Europe. MIDA’s 60kW/120kW stations are designed to integrate with solar PV arrays and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This allows a village in the Scottish Highlands or a farmhouse in the Pyrenees to offer DC fast charging without needing a massive new grid connection.
Comprehensive Maintenance for European Operators
To ensure the long-term success of your investment, MIDA Power provides a detailed maintenance roadmap for our European partners.
Quarterly Service: Ensuring Safety and Efficiency
Every three months, technicians should perform a visual check of the CCS2 connectors and cables. In Europe’s wet climate, checking for any moisture ingress or corrosion at the connection points is vital. The internal air filters should be cleaned to ensure the SiC power modules remain cool during high-load summer sessions.
Annual Certification: The LVD and EMC Audit
Once a year, we recommend a full safety audit to ensure the station remains compliant with the Low Voltage Directive. This includes testing the RCD (Residual Current Device) and verifying that the insulation resistance is within the required limits. MIDA Power provides a specialized “CE Validation Kit” that makes this process quick and easy for local technicians.
Firmware Lifecycle Management
MIDA Power releases two major firmware updates per year. These updates include new charging profiles for the latest EV models released by European manufacturers (like Mercedes, BMW, and Stellantis) and security patches to keep the OCPP communication secure.

AFIR Compliance: What European Operators Need to Know
The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) is the most significant piece of legislation to hit the European charging market in a decade. MIDA Power (迈依达) has designed its 60kW and 120kW stations to be fully AFIR-compliant from day one.
The Payment Mandate
AFIR requires that all public chargers above 50kW must allow for “ad-hoc” payment without requiring a subscription or a specific app. MIDA’s integrated PCI-compliant payment terminals allow drivers to pay with a standard credit or debit card, satisfying this requirement and ensuring that your station is accessible to the widest possible audience.
Price Transparency
The regulation also mandates clear price transparency. Our 10-inch screens can be configured to display the current price per kWh, the total energy delivered, and the total cost of the session in real-time, in full compliance with EU consumer protection laws.
Data Reporting and Uptime
AFIR sets strict standards for data availability and reporting. MIDA’s OCPP-based telemetry ensures that site operators have the audit-ready data they need to report to government agencies. Furthermore, our 99.8% uptime target helps operators stay within the high-reliability bands that many European subsidies now require.
Site Engineering and Electrical Installation in Europe
Installing a 120kW charger in an existing European urban environment requires a high level of coordination. MIDA Power provides a full “Engineering Support Package” to simplify this process.
Transformer and Grid Capacity
A single 120kW charger requires approximately 135kVA of transformer capacity. For sites looking to install multiple units, MIDA recommends a dedicated low-voltage connection. We work with local German, French, and Italian utilities to provide the necessary technical documentation for “Network Connection Requests” (NCRs).
Grounding and Protection
European electrical codes (such as the VDE standards in Germany) have very specific requirements for grounding and residual current protection. Every MIDA station comes equipped with a Type B RCD (Residual Current Device) and specialized insulation monitoring that meets these local codes, reducing the complexity for the local installation contractor.
Civil Engineering and Street Furniture
In many European cities, charging stations are considered “street furniture.” MIDA Power provides detailed CAD templates for concrete foundations and cable trenching. We also offer “Impact Bollards” and specialized lighting kits to ensure the charging bay is safe and visible at night.
MIDA’s European Support and Logistics Network
We understand that for European operators, “support” is just as important as “hardware.”
Regional Service Hubs
MIDA Power maintains a network of certified service partners across the EU. These partners are trained at our European headquarters and maintain a local stock of essential spare parts. This ensures that a technician can be on-site within 24 hours in most major European metropolitan areas.
Multi-Lingual Technical Support

Our technical support team is fluent in English, German, French, and Spanish. Whether you are an installer in the Netherlands or a fleet manager in Spain, you can speak with a MIDA engineer who understands your language and your local regulations.
European Logistics
We utilize a central European warehouse to store our 60kW and 120kW CCS2 units. This allows for rapid delivery times—often less than two weeks for standard configurations—minimizing the “wait time” between a developer’s decision and the station going live.
User Experience: A Premium Charge for Every Driver
Charging a car should be as simple as buying a loaf of bread. MIDA Power has spent years refining the user experience for the European market.
Ergonomic Cable Management
Even an air-cooled 120kW CCS2 cable can be heavy. MIDA uses a specialized “Spring-Balance” retraction system that takes the weight of the cable, making it easy to maneuver for elderly drivers or those with mobility issues. The cables are also designed to remain flexible in sub-zero temperatures.
The MIDA App and CPO Integration
While AFIR mandates ad-hoc payment, many drivers still prefer to use their favorite charging apps (like Shell Recharge, EnBW, or Ionity). MIDA’s full OCPP integration ensures that our stations are visible and accessible on all major European roaming platforms, ensuring your station is always easy to find.
Noise Mitigation
Urban charging stations are often located near residential apartments. MIDA’s 60kW and 120kW units use ultra-quiet variable-speed fans that only ramp up when absolutely necessary. At night, the station can be programmed to operate in a “Quiet Mode,” slightly derating the output to keep noise levels below 50dB.
Cybersecurity and Data Privacy (GDPR)
In Europe, data privacy is a fundamental right. MIDA Power’s cloud and hardware systems are fully GDPR-compliant.
Data Anonymization
When a session is recorded, MIDA’s systems anonymize all sensitive user data. We store only what is necessary for the transaction and the technical health of the station, ensuring that your customers’ privacy is protected.
End-to-End Encryption
From the charger to the cloud, and from the cloud to the operator’s dashboard, all data is protected by industry-leading TLS 1.3 encryption. This prevents hackers from intercepting payment data or gaining control of the charging network.

MIDA Power—Innovating the Charge, Driving the Future of Europe.
Comprehensive Maintenance and Lifecycle Management
A MIDA 60kW or 120kW CCS2 charger is a significant capital investment. To ensure it delivers maximum value over its 10-15 year expected lifecycle, MIDA Power (迈依达) has developed a comprehensive maintenance framework tailored for the European market.
Preventive Maintenance: The Tiered Approach
We recommend a three-tiered approach to maintaining your charging infrastructure:
Tier 1: Routine Site Inspections (Monthly) Site operators should perform a basic walkthrough. This includes checking the CCS2 connectors for any signs of physical wear, ensuring the touchscreens are clean and responsive, and verifying that the charging bays are free of debris. In European regions with heavy rainfall, ensure that the drainage around the base of the charger is clear to prevent water pooling.
Tier 2: Technical Audits (Semi-Annually) Twice a year, a certified electrician should perform a deeper technical check. This involves:
- Thermal Imaging: Using a thermal camera to inspect internal busbars and terminals for “hot spots” that could indicate a loose connection.
- Cooling System Check: Cleaning the air intake filters and ensuring the variable-speed fans are operating smoothly.
- Safety Relay Testing: Verifying that the emergency stop and ground fault systems are functional.
Tier 3: Annual Certification and Validation (Annually) Once a year, the station should undergo a full performance validation. This includes testing the charger at full load (60kW or 120kW) using an EV simulator and ensuring that the electrical safety parameters (insulation resistance, ground bond) are still within the CE and local regulatory limits.
MIDA Cloud Diagnostics: Predictive Maintenance
The most powerful tool in our maintenance arsenal is the MIDA Cloud platform. By streaming real-time data from over 400 internal sensors, our AI-driven backend can identify potential issues before they cause a station to go offline. For example, if we detect that a power module’s internal temperature is rising slightly higher than normal for a given load, the system will automatically flag a “Filter Clogged” alert to the operator, allowing for a quick fix before a thermal shutdown occurs.
End-of-Life and Circular Economy
MIDA Power is committed to sustainability beyond just the charging session. Our stations are designed for “Modular Repair.” Instead of replacing an entire unit, individual power modules, controllers, or screens can be easily swapped out. At the end of the station’s life, MIDA offers a recycling program for our SiC power modules and high-value electronic components, ensuring that your transition to green mobility doesn’t create a legacy of electronic waste.
Silicon Carbide (SiC) vs. IGBT: The Technical Edge in Europe
The choice of semiconductor material is the single most important factor in a charger’s efficiency. In the 60kW/120kW series, MIDA Power has transitioned entirely to Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs.
Why SiC Matters for European Operators
Traditional chargers use silicon-based IGBTs. While reliable, IGBTs are limited in their switching frequency and thermal efficiency. SiC, a wide-bandgap material, offers several key advantages:
- Higher Switching Frequencies: This allows us to use smaller, lighter inductors and transformers, leading to the compact footprint that is so essential for European urban environments.
- Lower Thermal Losses: SiC modules generate 30-50% less heat than IGBTs. In a 120kW station, this means less energy is wasted as heat, and less parasitic power is used by the cooling fans.
- Superior Cold Weather Performance: SiC semiconductors maintain their efficiency and switching characteristics better than silicon in extreme sub-zero temperatures, ensuring the 60kW/120kW output is rock-solid even in a Finnish winter.
Manufacturing Excellence: The MIDA Power Standard
Every charger that leaves our facility is a product of world-class manufacturing. MIDA Power’s campus is one of the most advanced power electronics facilities in the world.
Rigorous Testing Protocols
Before being crated for shipment to Europe, every 60kW/120kW station undergoes a 48-hour “stress test.” This includes:
- Full Load Burn-in: Operating at maximum capacity for 24 hours in a temperature-controlled chamber.
- High-Voltage Insulation Testing: Ensuring the internal isolation is perfect.
- Communication Interoperability: Testing the station with a library of vehicle simulators representing every major EV model sold in Europe.
R&D and Continuous Innovation
MIDA Power invests 15% of its annual revenue back into R&D. Our team of over 200 engineers is constantly working on the next generation of power conversion. We hold dozens of patents in high-density cooling, soft-switching topologies, and bi-directional energy transfer. When you choose MIDA, you are choosing a partner that is leading the technological curve, not just following it.

MIDA Power—Innovating the Charge, Driving the Future of Europe.
Site Planning and Electrical Infrastructure: A Guide for European Municipalities
For European municipalities and city planners, the deployment of 60kW and 120kW chargers is a critical component of their “Green City” strategies. MIDA Power (迈依达) provides the technical guidance needed to integrate these units into the complex urban fabric.
Understanding Grid Capacity and Load Zones
European city grids are often centuries old. When planning a 120kW charging hub, it is essential to perform a “Load Study” of the local substation. MIDA’s engineering team works with municipal utilities to identify “Low-Impact Zones” where high-power charging can be added without necessitating expensive new transformers. If capacity is limited, our stations’ “Dynamic Load Management” (DLM) features allow them to adjust their output based on the real-time load of the building or the surrounding block.
Zoning, Permits, and Urban Aesthetics
In historical European cities, the visual impact of infrastructure is a major concern. MIDA Power offers customized cabinet finishes—including matte black, stone-grey, and forest-green—to help the chargers blend into their surroundings. We provide full planning sets, including 3D visualizations and noise profile reports, to help streamline the permitting process with local planning boards.
Accessibility and the “Charging Bay” Design
European accessibility laws (such as the EAA) mandate that public infrastructure must be usable by everyone. MIDA’s CCS2 stations are designed with low-profile touchscreens and flexible cables that meet these standards. We provide municipal planners with “Best Practice” bay layouts that ensure enough space for wheelchairs and strollers, ensuring that the transition to EVs is inclusive for all citizens.
Comparative Technical Analysis: MIDA vs. The European Competition
When evaluating a 120kW station, it is important to look at the “hidden” metrics of performance.
Power Module Density
Many European manufacturers still use 20kW or 25kW modules, requiring 6 modules to reach 120kW. MIDA’s use of high-density 30kW and 40kW SiC modules means we use fewer components, leading to a smaller cabinet and a higher “Mean Time Between Failures” (MTBF). Fewer modules means fewer potential points of failure and a more streamlined maintenance process.
Standby Power Consumption
Electricity prices in Europe are among the highest in the world. Many 120kW stations consume 200W-300W of power just to stay “awake.” MIDA Power has optimized our auxiliary systems to consume less than 80W in standby mode. Over a network of 100 chargers, this efficiency gain saves the operator thousands of Euros per year in electricity costs.
Protocol Latency and Handshake Speed
A slow “handshake” between the car and the charger is a major source of driver frustration. MIDA’s controllers use high-speed processors that complete the CCS2 handshake and initiate the energy flow up to 30% faster than some legacy European brands. In a busy urban environment where every minute counts, this speed is a significant competitive advantage.
Global ## Global Support and Service Network
Efficiency is only half of the story — the other half is what happens after the sale. MIDA Power operates a global network of certified service partners, regional spare-parts warehouses, and multilingual support desks that keep your 60kW-120kW CCS2 stations running at peak performance, wherever they are deployed.
Our European customers, in particular, benefit from local stock of the most failure-prone components — power modules, control boards, and charging cables — with next-day dispatch to most EU countries. Combined with 24/7 remote diagnostics through the OCPP channel, most issues are identified and resolved before a technician even arrives on site. For larger fleets, our engineers can be on location within 48 hours anywhere in Europe, backed by a 3-year warranty that is extendable to 10 years.
Beyond break-fix support, MIDA invests in capability transfer. Every fleet deployment includes structured training for local technicians — covering module replacement, firmware updates, cable maintenance, and safety procedures — so your own team grows more self-sufficient with every year of operation. This is the difference between a vendor and a partner.
This global footprint is also why MIDA can offer compliance as a service: our documentation teams maintain current CE, UKCA, and ETL/UL certification packages and will support your utility applications, incentive claims, and safety audits at no additional engineering cost.
The Efficiency Dividend: Numbers That Compound
Efficiency gains that look small on a datasheet become decisive at network scale. Take a 50-station urban network running 16 hours per day:
- Standby power: At 250W per legacy station, standby alone consumes roughly 73,000 kWh per year. MIDA’s sub-80W standby cuts that to under 23,000 kWh — a saving of about 50,000 kWh, worth €10,000-€15,000 annually at European commercial rates.
- Handshake speed: A 30% faster CCS2 handshake removes 15-20 seconds per session. Across 500 sessions per day, that is over two hours of additional charging time recovered daily — capacity that pays for itself without adding a single station.
- Module efficiency: The 1-2% efficiency advantage of MIDA’s SiC modules converts directly into reduced energy losses and lower cooling load, which in turn extends component life and reduces maintenance visits.
Conclusion: Efficiency That Pays You Back
Maximizing efficiency in EV charging is not an abstract engineering goal — it is a direct lever on your profitability. Fewer modules, lower standby draw, faster handshakes, and higher power density all compound into measurable savings: lower electricity bills, fewer breakdowns, shorter queues, and happier drivers. MIDA Power has engineered every one of these advantages into its modular 60kW, 90kW, and 120kW CCS2 series, and then backed them with a support network that spans the globe.
Key Takeaways
- Power Module Density: 30kW and 40kW SiC modules mean fewer components, a smaller cabinet, and a higher MTBF than legacy 20kW/25kW designs.
- Standby Power: Under 80W auxiliary consumption versus 200W-300W on many competitors — saving thousands of Euros per year across a 100-charger network.
- Handshake Speed: Up to 30% faster CCS2 handshake than some legacy European brands, reducing driver frustration at busy urban sites.
- Global Support: Certified partners, local spare-parts stock, and 24/7 remote diagnostics keep your network profitable and available.
