ALPITRONIC GOES TO MEGAWATT DCFC POWER LEVELS! HYC1000 + DISTRIBUTED POWER SHARING

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out-of-Spec Podcast features an in-depth discussion with Mike Doucleff, CEO of Alpitronic Americas, about their new HYC1000 DC fast charger. The HYC1000 represents a significant shift to a distributed architecture, separating power conversion in a cabinet from power dispensing at multiple ports. This design offers enhanced flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency, particularly for high-demand charging scenarios and commercial vehicles, supporting both CCS and the emerging MCS connector standard. Key benefits highlighted include the ability to share 1 MW of power across up to eight ports with 62.5 kW granularity, and an impressive efficiency rating exceeding 97.5%, directly impacting operational costs. While currently in testing, production is slated for Europe in Q3 2025 and the US in Q1 2026. The HYC1000 is positioned as a future-proof, modular solution that complements, rather than replaces, existing models like the HYC400, catering to diverse use cases.
