SICHARGE FLEX
As the demand for robust and efficient EV charging infrastructure continues to surge, SICHARGE FLEX emerges as an adaptable answer to diverse use cases, be it for fleet and depot or en-route charging.
Unlike rigid, single-purpose charging systems, SICHARGE FLEX offers a dynamic and adaptable approach, ensuring optimal performance and investment protection for operators and businesses.
The right power at the right outlet at the right time
SICHARGE FLEX sets new benchmarks in technical performance and operational flexibility
SICHARGE FLEX sets new benchmarks in technical performance and operational flexibility. At its core is a pioneering fully dynamic power distribution system, which intelligently allocates power across multiple charging points based on real-time vehicle demand.
This means that all power groups are routable to all outlets in all configurations, delivering the right power to the right outlet at the right time. This system offers a wide power range, from 480 kW to over 1.68 megawatt, enabling the charge points to deliver power in 80/120 kW increments.
Supports CCS and MCS charging standards
As a result, it ensures optimal and efficient power delivery to exactly where it is needed. Supporting both CCS and MCS charging standards allows for up to 4 MCS charge points to be installed with a single system.
SICHARGE FLEX delivers up to 1,500 A of charging current through its MCS dispenser, enabling rapid charging for even the largest electric vehicles like heavy-duty trucks, as well as electric city and overland buses.
Front-in front-out cooling system
The system also boasts an industry-pioneering power density, enabling high-capacity charging within a remarkably compact footprint (up to 656 kW/m2). Combined with the front-in front-out cooling system, allowing for wall placements, offering a critical advantage for space-constrained environments.
Additionally, the system features the flexibility to support dispensers placed up to 300 meters away from the central power cabinet. These dispensers can also be floor-mounted with a minimal footprint (0.1 m2 for CCS and 0.2 m2 for MCS), wall-mounted or overhead-mounted in different options to flexibly fit any site.
Introduction of SICHARGE FLEX
"The introduction of SICHARGE FLEX marks a significant milestone in our journey to build a comprehensive and sustainable E-Mobility ecosystem," said Markus Mildner, CEO eMobility, Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
